Great progress man. Those header might make it a bit hard to hear your spotter or anything else for that matter. LOL

Where'd you buy the rock rings from? Trail Worthy Fab?
 


















I would guess you aren't installing a hood with this. I would love to update my front end but, I hear the gen 2 hood doesn't fit very well. Plenty of junk gen2's around here so parts wouldn't be overly expensive from the junkyard.

It is interesting to see what you started with (stock) to now. Nice progress.
 






No ill have a hood. The hood fits fine. You just have to make sure you use the whole front end.
I'm only using part of it. I have half inner fenders, outer fenders, hood, and grille. No core support/radiator support. And its still in the works on how, but its gonna be easily removable so I can get in the engine bay and pull motor and stuff
 






Sittin on all fours. Suspension fully welded. Currently has 3" up travel and 11" down travel. Need to adjust the collars. Looking for a final 8" down/6" up.

Just need to cut and weld up the lower bars for the cage-to-frame. Run all my wires, get the fuel system connected, and do the steering.
Its getting there!!
 












That rig is a beast, how big are the trails where you live? It wouldn't even fit down the access roads to the trails here, damn. Keep up the hard work man, it's really starting to pay off. Those axles look small with the wheels and tires mounted. Lol
 












Just think of it like this: most of the buggies running 2.5's are hitting the same trails some of us are. They always manage just fine.


Im seriously upset that you beat me to this. lol....I still want to use these for mine!
 






True. Except rock bouncers are about as low as a stock explorer, even with the 40-49s they run. Lol

And you very well may beat me. Just cause its a roller doesn't mean it'll be done soon. Cash is at a stop. I've got maybe $3k left in random things and its gonna take me awhile..
 






Yeah I have not even purchased 2.5's much less have the funds. I do have a really good plan lol
 






If anyone would like to help...
