Builds Bubba Goes Beast: (Slee Bumper, TJM, 35's & More!)

[Markuson]

This week, "Bubba" (named after my dog) goes full Beast mode after saving up for a pile of mods, and help from Slee Off-road!!
Wooooooooo! (Woof?)

The local tire shop laughed when I drove off on 35's...rubbing like heck with my Tupperware bumpers still on (only way to get tires across town to Slee!).

So the Tupperware was the first thing to go:
That'll do, plastic... That'll do... Rest in pieces.

Here's bare-butt Bubba:

@kreiten ...Since you asked, here's a crappy exposure I tried to rescue... from the parking lot of Day's Inn...(I actually took it to Slee the next morning)...

I'm pretty sure Joe at Slee had to do a 10-point turn to swing it into the shop bay. Ha!
Worst part was taking it through a car wash's tight turn entry on the way to the shop, but thankfully no one was behind me (I'm a fan of delivering CLEAN rigs to shops).

 

[Markuson]

Progress!

Bubba got SHOE...
(Pay no mind to the Rock Warrior mess--That's just crud from riding under the back as my spare. Will clean it up later)

Looks good.
Where's the majority of the rubbing?
