Looks good to me. 8)  What tires are you planning?  Did you fab or buy the bumpers and sliders?

Looks good. Minor detail, I would have made the rocksliders stick out further to keep the body off any rocks or banks. Are you going to make a rear bumper to match?
I just looked back at the previous pics, it looks a LOT better.

Took a look at your before pictures. Rust sucks. But, looks great now. Just needs some big rubber  and it will be sweet.  8)

Looks like you installed a Breeze high steer system.  Let us know what you think about how it takes care of bump steer on the road.  I've always thought one of those would be a good mod for the steering system.

(& yeah, tires would help.  I drove mine a bit on 205s after the SPOA installation and EVERYONE gave me some ribbing on how it looked... :P )

the breeze steering rocks! I had it on my sammy and had no bump steer. I didn't even have a steering damper! :D

It's those Jeep tail lights   :P

the sliders stick out about a quarter inch, with for a trail and mud truck should do just fine. Look closer at the rear end pic, there is one...
