One of the best build threads I have seen... While my build will be nothing like this, some of your ideas are too good to not duplicate... well done sir.

Thanks! Some ideas are my own, but a lot I got from others while reading their builds.

Did some painting today. The Rock Hard C pilar brace in flat black.



Color matched the DV8 rear fender liners and Hutchinson beadlock hub caps. Many more small parts need to be done, but this was the first warm day in NC that allowed me to paint, and these were the more critical need ones.

The color matched hub caps came out amazing. I added these custom made stars to give it that personal look. Couldn't be happier.

Wow! I absolutely love this build!

Everything is so nicely put together and has a tonne of usability.

Quick question about those flares, are they 2" wider than stock? And to they have any internal bracing?

Thanks! Yes the flares are 2" wider. They do have internal bracing, and are sturdy as hell. I can stand on them.

Well damn, I was originally looking at JCR wide flares but you've just made my choice a lot harder!

These are by River Raider and they even make a 4" version as well as an aluminum one.
