Here's my new rear system should work well with the new 60" tires I've got coming

Yeah, but can it wheel when loaded with camping gear???

 

[410Fortune]

I am guessing that vehicle has no cargo area hahaha

 

[Jefe]

So I finally got around to taking pics of my post-rubicon rig a few weeks ago, and am just now posting them here

About 5 minutes after taking the pics I had fixed the passenger door; poped off the inner panel, cut out all my sound deadening to get to the skin, gave it a push, and just like the saturn commercial it popped right back out. After that I worked on the drivers door. All thats left to 'fix' is the driver side fender and rear quarter panel (for the 3rd time )

Egads! you took some significant damage... All in fun though

 

[rino351]

that's sexy

 

[RangerX]

Matt and I were admiring that damage when we saw you parked at the offroad expo last weekend. It just makes your rig look that much more serious!

 

[nissanboy]

Good think you had sliders

 

[410Fortune]

Wow
The marks keep growing on both sides! hahaha

 

[FROADER]

That should buff right out.

 

[Paraphoe]

Wow. I think I would cry if my truck got that damage. Impressive.

 

[410Fortune]

Not Jefe, this is a purpose built rig.
I remember when he got his first scuff mark on the d side in Truckhaven, its all down hill for the factory metal from there

 

[tdavis]

Good think you had sliders

That's debatable - one was bent DOWN.

 

[DB_1]

Cool It's starting to look like my truck now

 

[Jefe]

That should buff right out.

Yup, just gotta strap some 50 grit sandpaper to my buffer.

Wow. I think I would cry if my truck got that damage. Impressive.

I don't see any damage. Its custom, one of a kind artwork.
