Headed to Fordyce Saturday morning.:D We'll be camped below winch hill 1:D

58" to the bottom of the drivers mirror;)

You have as bad ass 80
I spent some time looking your truck over when you had your windows tinted by Kevin
 
On to the rear
I don't have a lot of pictures of the rear.
We moved the axle back about an inch.Made new upper and lowers arms out of .25 Wall using ruffstuff hiems on the ends.
Bink also made new mounts on the axle for the lower arms.

These are the spacers needed to use the hiems in the stock mounts.

Ah man I wish, I just got back from the rubicon this last weekend, and that was you?! I remember him telling me about your rig, mine has changed alot since you last saw it, I'm super jealous of your front bumper I messaged binks about it there still a few weeks out :-/
 
Must be nice to have connections like this! Geezus!
 
Terrific build. Would you mind providing a closeup on how the bar over your rear tire joins the slider. I have been wanting to add bars to the side of mine but I am not sure how to design this.

This is one of the most customized build out I have seen on an 80 series. Interesting work and very high quality. Thanks for sharing!

I don't have any close ups but there are several pics in this post that show the area pretty good.
