looking really good! i like the hidden fender bars a lot.
 
Just a thought, but do you have sold body mounts? Cage is ties to frame rigidly, body IF sitting on poly or rubber bushings will flex and may cause more harm than good if welded to the cage.... now if it is still mounted hard like when you had the internal cage then you should be good, otherwise I'd watch for cracked welds or torn inner fenders.

That aside I think it looks b!tch!n'!! Love the 39's
 
The body will flex some, I expect that and have even considered tying the cab into the roll cage further. But, it sure as hell wont flex like the old cab did with the rear cut out. I had stress cracks all over the place and it was just a matter of time before it disintegrated. It's turning out that the rollover at AOP has been both a good and bad thing, I guess.


Big tars make everything look better.

thanks guys, Honestly I've been on the fence up to this point and even wished I'd done it a little differently but the 39s really pulled it together for me. Now that I've finally seen a fender go on I'm really starting to like it and once i get everything back on like the tool boxes and Hi-Lift I trust it'll finally look "right."

Anyway, the beauty will be in how it performs. I'm holding on to the 37s for awhile until i know the thing wont blow apart like a shotgun to a twinky.

Startin' to see light at the end of the tunnel. Brakes done, brake lights done, Exo done, actually got 4 rock lights wired up and working. Damn those little things are bright, 2 more to go.

Then to get to storage. I dry fit 2 ammo cans--nope, need a plan B.

Actually took it for a lap through the neighborhood, first real drive since the roll. Thinkin I'm gonna have to out a steering stabilizer back on cause the death wobble started kickin in around 20-25(?), woohoo!! :(

still lots to do but it's becoming manageable I think.
