I'm doing something similar, but nowhere near as nice as your work, very nice! I also would like to see the rear cage. I like both front bumpers but can't see the upper frame braces of the second one. And what lenght are your rear shocks? They look to be about the same lenght as mine, which I think are 32".

Thanks for all the kind words, as for the rear cage pics, if you right click on the first, second and fourth pic of this thread and in the little box that pops up, select view picture, you will see the rear cage. I am not computer literate enough to re size my pictures so that the entire picture shows up on this board. If that does not work for you, let me know and I will take some new pictures.There is no upper frame brace on my bumper, on purpose. I want the front bumper to collapse or fall off in a hard front hit. My reasoning is I can make a new front bumper in a couple of hours vs a couple of weeks to repair a bent frame. As for the rear shocks they are 14" 2.0 Fox with a 7/8" shaft. Also I would like to add, that for my use, they are a poor choice. Due to the large 7/8" shaft and small surface area of the 2" piston, I cannot get the rebound valving soft enough to keep the suspension from "packing" when running fast over a washboard surface. I will probably change them for some 2.5" as soon as I find some for cheap.

Thanks again for all the kind words, they are much appreciated. For the guy wanting better pics of the rear cage here they are along with the dash. I think it turned out nice even if I did make it.
