Thanks man, the cut and fold turned out way better than I thought it would. It's bedlined now, I dot have pics yet though. I wanted bushwhackers, but that's just to much money for plastic. I might make some tube flares, but I thin it's gonna stay how it is.

I made some disco cables today. I ripped off dpg's designs, except the cables aren't attached to the eye bolt, so I font have to have them hanging there when not in use.

Thanks man, I really appreciate the complement.

I was really worried about the rear cut and fold, but after a couple hours with a grinder and hammer, it came out pretty smoothe.
I'm sitting at about 4 inches of lift and have tons of room for the 33s ill be putting 35s on It next time I buy tires and I won't lift it any more.
I'm still on stock gears, and drive it about 40 miles a day. The gas mileage sucks, but it's still got power, and I can still do 75 on the interstate and it doesnt shift in and out of OD too much.

One side of mine is rusty, but I hate the look of the cut and fold at the bottom, I cut out all the rust and have some cheap paint on it for now. I'm not sure if I'm gonna patch the hole, or make sure there is absolutely no rust left and cover it with some 3/16 armour, or MAYBE a cut and fold style bumper. I highly recommend the 3.5 inch rubicon express lift by the way.

Yeah I just finally said f it one day and did it, I didnt want it to get worse.
I want to modify my Olympic bumper to come around and under the fold.

I already have the lift. I ordered IROs 3" add a leaf kit. It's currently sitting in my bedroom lol.

I installed my RE track bar last week, I aligned it today, and RE adjusted the steering wheel, and dropped to 28 psi in the tires.

And a couple random pics.
