nice job on the shock towers, i see a set of fox air shocks and extended front trailing arms in your future :)
on your photobucket right below where it says "upload videos and images" click on more options and change your photo size to large 640x480

You got the Photobucket thing figured out pretty well. I never tried it till yesterday either. Your rear shock mounts gave me an idea for mounting mine. Ill have to see if that type of mount will work out back.

It is looking great. If you decide to add extended front trailing arms you will probably need to move your steering box to the center. The passenger side tie rod usually hits the frame with the steering box to the side. A lot of people go right to Rack and Pinion but I would try to remount the steering box before going to Rack and Pinion.

Nice build and pictures. One thing you may end up changing is your bracing from the front hoop to the crossover tube. I installed mine that way for access to the tool boxes. After every ride cracks at the main hoop where they attached and at the cross over tube to main rails occured along with the main tube cracking in front of the crossover tube. I cut them out and went to the triangulated bracing in the picture.

Check the pictures here. There are pictures of the original frame, when I modified it like yours and the latest x bracing.

Good to see someone doing something other than whine and moan. Looks great, almost there.
