Looks great! The pics with Rick really do give a much better perspective. Love how the rock rings came out too.

Seriously though, Bebe your rig is looking badass. Please let me know when you plan on taking it out on it's maiden voyage. I'd like to tag along and witness this beast unleashed.

Very, very cool.

Way to push the envelope with some cool innovation.
You'll probably have to start offering an upgraded H3 front suspension package!

Looks great but the massiveness of that estate wagon makes those tires look small.

You would be more experienced in that than I

And - no trimming!

Or are you saying it's proportionate?

Here is another comparison:

My buddy Sewie came up from the Bay Area, he and I had similarly set up rigs, that we ran both Fordyce and Rubicon in. His rig has a mild torsion bar lift is on 35" tires, and some other suspension mods, so we parked them nose to nose so we could see the difference between what it was and what it is.



It's subtle, yes?

People are going to know there is something a bit different at first glance but it's going to be a sleeper that sneaks up on them
