Looking good!
A few questions. For the undercoating- how did you decide where to spray and where not to? My 70 still has low miles and probably little rust underneath so I'm wondering if I should do an undercoat or just not worry.
it looks like the tires are wider than the wheel wells? Are you planning on any fenders around the wheel wells to help keep mud off the side of the vehicle or am I overthinking it?
Agreed, those wheels are awesome. Do you have your spare on the door?
yeah I hear ya. My stock wheel was good under there but my new 255/85 rests on the outer sloped parts so even when its wound up tight it swings back and forth. Didn't feel comfortable with that so now im going to get a door carrier and reinforce the hell out of the inside of the door. Plus the roads are pretty smooth around me and that seems to be the main killer of rear door hinges with carriers on them, washboard roads and similar crappy driving surfaces.No the spare lives is in the bed. I plan on building a sub floor and the spare will live under there.
I don't like the idea of the added stress on the hinges, sheet metal, and the extra swing weight added with the spare. Plus parking can be tight in Panama so any saved overall length is a plus for me.
I had the 285 spare under the bed in the traditional spot and it was fine, but the 315 is just too big and doesn't snug up properly.

Also installed a Superior Engineering bash plate for the transfer case.
Nice! I have that one bookmarked too. Their protection pieces look to be the best. Did you order directly from OZ? Did you order anything else from Superior?
hey @ROUSER , i cant seem to find too much info on those steps, are they true sliders?
