well there are some updates that are worth mentioning. I finally bought fiberglass fenders from rockstarkrew. Only reason why I even did this is because I bumped up to 35's and with the new rims it made my tires stick out a bit more. Also started on my cage as well. I cant have my truck down because it is my DD so the cage is going in stages. Cage pics I wont show til it is completely finished but it will be out of 2" dom tubing. but here are some pics of the tires. The fenders are not mounted yet. Should be by the weekend if everything goes according to plan.
rear tire squeezed in.

and my rear tires stick out just a tad bit

Future plans ahead:
1. Finish Cage
2. New front end about 5.5" wider than stock hoping to pull 17-20"
3. Ditch the bed. Drop my 9" rearend in and do a short course link with dual tires in the rear. With fiberglass bedsides.
Going to be a long process but after she is all done I will be satisfied with the complete outcome and she will be in top shape for the desert.

oh it sucks haha. no dash or anything. Ive got my stock seats in with the fuse box zip tied to the truck and the gauge ckuster and light switch ziptied to my steering column. Truck rattles so much with tubing in there just tack weled in there. But I have to do what I have to do
