    I'd add tubes going from the center of the tube behind the cab out to the top of the tubes tuning back before they dive down to the frame if that makes sense. Right now you have no triangulation between the vertical planes.

    ^^^ that heap of shit has been up for sale numerous times under numerous different colors now. Used to be posted up in grey I believe with some dumb ass retarded link setup on the rear as well. I didn't open the ad so it could very well still look like the hacked piece of suit it used to be. I'm sure it still is.

    Id say its a must. Clutters the open space I have but is necessary to keep everything square and rigid. Fucking triangulation.

    Boxed wheel wells are titties. Was thinking of picking up some wheel tubs for the rears to give me more room at bump. All this just to haul dogs to the fucking beach.
