Looks good, but it also looks like it could possibly hang up on rocks and such.  It could just be the angle of the picture.

those are awesome but why did you keep the window frame?
they would be lighter and take up less space if you chop that part out.
but your truck looks nice real clean. thats how i wanted to do my truck when i first got it but now its prolly going to turn out as a beater.

looked around alot and I thought that would be the cleanest look and be able to hang them up in the building by them. also seen some snap on window I thought about as an option

Put together some rears up front adding in my yjs gotta little more lift and they ride better due to the shackle angle.I gained clearance on the back of the fender but now its hitting in the front where the bumper corners mount so time for a new bumper LOL. Still flexes good but need to open the spring clamps some. Trying to figure what I am going to do to the rear to get it flexin :headscratch:

I just cut a peice of the door shell with the handle and moved it but as far as the rest of it I cut the door and framed it in with small agle then plated it with 22 gauge sheet and smoothed with a little bondo they are not perfect but look good enough for my first time. It is alot of work though

THat runner is looking great!..pretty dern clean.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5
