    The basket a buddy and I built because I couldnt find one I liked. It turned out pretty good I think.

    And yes they are... I did the pinch weld mod and have had no rub till I added the winch and bumper becuase the weight dropped the front end an inch. But I have Eibach's and 5100's in the mail to fix that. hopefully ill have it all back to normal 3" by Tuhrsday.

    Thanks about the bumper.... It was a chunk of change but was well worth it and still cheaper than the other ones I looked at. :D

    yea man i hope to get a front and rear made by him this summer.

    Damn, i was afraid it was custom, i so regret not learning how to weld. I am waiting on Allpro to start producing their roof rack thats on their baja build.

    Beautiful truck tho! wish mine had changed more so i could add pics! all i have done so far is new tires and repainted the rims lol
