You will have to cut your frame though....
Kind of a big deal for some. Me not so much.

With a 4X4 Lab bumper, who cares what's behind you.

Any photos of the back side of the rear wheel well? Need to trim my bumper up quick for a slick Rick trip coming up.

FYI, access road outside slick rock is closed. Also if you do the trail there is a huge log across the trail right before the stairs and you need a chainsaw for that one... I think official open date is 4/15. I may have seen it....

I should get some pics today. Going out to start butchering, install skids, license plate lights and stuff

I got the same lights for my plate. And thanks for the picture. Looks like he does not have any plate welded on for support so I guess I will just cut mine up myself.

Body Mount Chop - BMC
Busy weekend, cut the body mount back when I installed the lift. Finally got around to completing the task. Picked up some 2" X 3/16" X 3' flat stock and bent it in half to form a "U" shape. Cut the bar in the middle of the "U" and then fit it up and trimmed until it fit. Welded up, grind and painted.

Forgot to mention, did a little heat treating of the 2" X 3/16" flat stock to increase it's hardness.
Also, trimmed the front fender lining and beat the seam into submission to gain that little extra clearance. re-sealed the seams with Ultra Black Permatex and sprayed with Rust-Oleum Undercoating.

More progress this weekend. Installed a Yaesu FTM-400DR with a Diamond Antenna NR770HB Dual Band ½ Wave with a home built mount mounted in the Hi-Lift spot on the ladder.
Mounted the main unit under the dash on the drivers side. It wan't easy getting it in there, but it's not going anywhere. Need to figure out some couplers for extending the mic cable.

I've been wanting to do this!!! How did you bend the metal?

Bent it with my pinky.
Since it was 3' long, grabbed both ends, used my knee and bent in half to get a "U" shape

Made it to Moab for the weekend and got to run a couple of trails. Unfortunately, was running as a solo vehicle, so didn't do anything to bad. Got in Fins n Things and Seven Mile Rim. And the best park, hanging with my Marine Brothers.
