what did you use as material between the fender and the apron - i like the look of that as well

HMMM... I recognize that background!! What all did Jeremiah do to it? (i see his rool cage, switches, shocks) Did he do your fenders?

Thanks!
Be careful, wouldn't want to be hammered by the "chat police"!
We moved about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I needed an easier commute to Memphis and we wanted the horses on property!

I scored some 70 series lights on eBay a few years back! Pretty easy add on if you can find the lights. Jeremiah just made sure he left room when he made the fenders.
Here it is the last time I saw my truck in late June '06 when I dropped it off at Jeremiah's. We eventually scraped that cage in the picture and we made a new, lighter one. (The FJC in the background is Jeremiah's wife's. I believe he got it from the FJC offroad/demo team that preceded the FJCs hitting the dealer lots! One of the first FJCs in the US
).
Here is my truck 4 days before I seized the motor in early Sept '01. That was the catalyst for the whole frame off.
And here it is in June '01 when I first found it. Very different from back then!

That black you see is the tubing from the tubed fender. The green skin is removable according to Jeremiah! I'll have more and better pics and better answers once I see what he has done in person, next week or so!
Thanks!

A write-up, or even some photos of the fender build would be awesome. That is a sick truck man. Very clean, very nice job.

Yep, front fenders, cage, sliders/step, installed my fuel tanks, wired the truck, the switches (some of which are spares), and generally finished a bunch of misc stuff that I was not able to get done (and fixed some of the stuff I did get done
). He's having Barry deliver it to me, maybe as early as this weekend.
I really like the fenders. How did you do the top mount of your shocks?
From the pics it looks like your passenger side is mounted to your York mount?

looking great........its been years it seems sense you started that! nice work!
and you know I like that color
Yep, I got sidetracked a little by fatherhood, then later by my upgrade to Captain (its great to be king!
) and our move out east! Thanks! I can't wait to get it back and start playing with it and getting reacquainted! It actually is 2 different greens.
The guy I had do the paint job totally dicked it up, he was also part of why I got delayed. I couldn't find him for a long time, not until he got back out of jail
. Anyway, he was in such a hurry to finish my stuff before I left CO he just used off the shelf JD green instead of the color we were using. By the time I noticed the difference, it was to late and not worth the effort. Jeremiah confirmed that its was JD green, so I'll soon stuck on some rattle can JD green for ever likely trail stripes and eventually it will all blend in! Lesson - don't prepay in full!The idiot also did the roof for me, and while I was pretty pleased with the paint job he did, he sealed the gutters with a real soft material. Jeremiah stripped it down and redid the roof. He said the guy sealed it with some sort of like roof tar. It should all look real nice when I put my black Paki soft top on!
