Finally getting around to posting up some more pics of how it sits right now.   We had an event at our place this past weekend that really took it's toll on the body.  I had a friend drive it for me and he got wedged in a narrow concrete canyon.  Ended up just having to force it through.  Looks like it went through the cheese grater.  You can also see the front bumper and new lights I installed.  I tried to keep the bumper tight to keep a good aproach angle and just used a receiver for the winch.  It will normally ride in the back.



 
Here's view from the front.  I boxed the mount for the bumper up from the crossmember so it doesn't fold up like the last one.  Also put kickers down to the frame too.  I don't see this one failing....



Also installed the aluminum top.  Thanks to wickedyota for the material.  It came out pretty good.  My wife made me some chrome naked trucker girls I installed on the tailgate too.



I have been real impressed with the way the suspension is working.  It takes a lot just to hang a tire.  I installed the green original door back on the driver's side now that I don't need the glass in the doors anymore.  Driver's side still looks decent.....



It's starting to get pretty beat. Kicking around the idea of tubing out the front  and losing the sheet metal.  Also need a larger radiator.  It's running hottter now that it's warming up outside......stay tuned for more mods....
