Well its taken some time, but I'm slowly getting there on the fitting side....
First Bruce had to cut back my body mounts and weld
Then on went the tires (Terra Grappler 305x17x70) and wheels (Mickey Thompson Classic Locks 17x9)
Then off to Hungry Valley for some testing
which revealed problems on full stuff in the rear
and still had to clear the front fenders with some cutting of the trailing edge of the fenders which I'll post soon.
A few quick shots...

The art of design is how you communicate your message to said audience
It's nice to see these 4th gens getting built up, very nice job Mark!

Thanks guys. It's just money holding me back.
If I had more, by now I'd have the 4x4Labs rear steel bumper with swing-away, the crawler box, 4.56's, lockers f&r.........

I made two spacers to lengthen the bump stops on the rear by 2" because at full stuff, the rear wheels are jamming up on the fender lips. I might trim back the fender lips at some stage.Eventually I'll get a steel rear bumper and reclaim some of the lost compression.
Will post pictures of the spacers (5"x3"x2" rectangular steel tubing) and mods to rhe front fenders soon.
