Thanks guys!!

Here's my inspiration lol accept the red version (Benedicts Blazer)




Next to come is hopefully some black rims and putting the extension for my roof rack in. Then finding a way to mount a high lift jack to my tire carrier.

Ok so i havent updated this in a while.. but im thinking about doing a 1.5 inch suspension lift (dont wanna push the CV's over that) but now im also considering doing it the right way and going with the rough country 2.5" lift. But the problem im facing is idk if 4.5" of lift will look stupid with only 31's

Thoughts?

Edit: If you go to about 29:30 in this video that OSS made on the lift it actually looks pretty good with only 31's and he has 4.5" of lift

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Well i went and picked up some steel today for a bumper. If anyone is wondering on price for that it was about .60$ per pound and i got about 100 pounds of 3/16" steel plate. I still have to get some square tubing.

I WILL be posting dimensions when im done and im hoping i can get enough pictures to make a general how-to

Heres what im going for. Mine will be the same design just some slightly different lengths.
