I really just need to come over and look at this bad boy! Plus, the kids want to play X-box with Uncle Chad!

Looks great Chad!! Out of curiousity, what is the distance from the top of your floor to the top of the door bar? I believe you said the sub frame was about 11" tall as well, correct? Trying to see how close my chassis is dimensionally.

Thanks Chad. However, I should have been more specific when I said door bar.:-\ I meant the top door bar overhead. Sorry.

It's been almost 3 weeks - you must have some updates to report.

 

[chadschoon]

Haha I wish! I was on vacation and ever since I got back I've been laying tile at a remodle for my pops. I finally get to get back after it this week

Ok I have a little update. I got my hood mounted and also the grill. Picked up some 7" HID's from Tyler (Crawlerready.com) so I decided to mount them up and see how bright they were. They light up the world! I dont think my neighbor was to happy with his house being lit up for a while Also got the front bumper moved out and the winch mounted...
