You are building a truck literally from the ground up Roy. This will be a new truck when you are done and have all the mods you like installed as you build. Fantastic!  :right_on:

Roy that's insane!! I'll have to come up soon , after I shake this damn flue/cold , been over 2 weeks now, lol

I'm still wondering if ground zero was my wife or you, hahahha

But seriously a ground up truck you feel way more confident, when driving.....hummers are getting up there price wise more and more...

Nice. Look forward to see this in person. Are winch springs that much different than regular? Jeepng world doesn't really see that unless you add aftermarket bumpers lights and accessories or v8 swaps. Most people cheap out and add spacers.
