LOL. Just kidding on the fenders. I'm in Ohio. That would be nowhere near legal on the road anyway. The fenders will have exhaust coming out of them but they will be airbrushed on. I definitely don't want loud because I will use this vehicle for my hunting vehicle as well. Thought about just a nice mono-tone like the Thrush Weld muffler.

Sorry guys. I haven't been to the shop much lately. Bro-N-Law has had the whole thing lately. Most of which has been grinding A LOT of welds. Here is a couple pics that I thought were neat though.
1st a good pic of the inside of the bed and bed rail. Check out how all the curves and such are so neat.

2nd and 3rd is the steel bumper being added. I love the looks, functionality, and layout of it.

Notice the bumper had to have a recessed piece added in the middle so the handle for the tailgate would not hit. Awesome!!
