What are you using to paint the cage? Are you just rattle-canning it? Or you do you actually have a paint gun?

OMMFG Zach.....

That's absolutely incredible... Turned out awesome. Once again, great work!

I saw the front needs a few more inches of lift! It's got a bit of a rake goin on! But other than that I love it! Dove tailing looks great, and I love that you kept a the Ford logo and put it on the back somehere!

What about making some sort of tray behind the fuel cell to hold thing? LIke a small toolbox, or shovel, hi-lift, etc... ???

oh ok got ya. ill get one.

well i think i mounted this bumper too high which caused it to hit the header panel, but i really cant go back further anyway because the sway bar runs right behind it. then the radiator and tranny coolers are behind it.

Nice work man!
I see what you mean about the passenger bedside, but it isn't too bad.

Yeah... apparently I read stuff... but I refrain from working on my SAS project as much as possible.

Maybe someday I'll get off my butt.
