    Thanks man! I appreciate it!!! It's time consuming, I'm able to work on it a little at work and get away with it. But not to to much so it's mostly evenings. I enjoy fabbin stuff up though! I'm hoping to have it ready for paint by Friday!

    Yeah bro looks great. I hear ya. Hard when you have your day job to get consistent time to work on those things. I totally agree with you man! Such a blast making stuff with your own hands. I made my front bumper, rock sliders, and my bed rack for my RTT. It's a blast. Great work, definitely subbed to see it all finished up!

    Just about there, I used 2" strap for the under edge. Still have a little left on that, than need to remove the temporary mounts, and get the permanent mounts built and welded on. I welded the outside seams than the inside, I'm going to grind the outside seems down flush. I still have gussets and recovery points to build and cut holes for flush pods. By the way, I AM NO WELDER, I can weld to make things stay together. But when it comes to looking good I struggle haha. It comes out lookin like bubble gum. But hey that's alright, practice makes perfect!
