Wow!... just WOW!

 

I got the winch back on over the weekend, got everything else all buttoned up, and took it for a spin.

Everything is done for the most part. Have to figure out something for rockers and I have a few things I want do add, but overall its done and ready to roll!

 

That thing looks like it'll shred rocks

 

I may have missed it... Did you have this thing repainted? I only wish that mine had that kind of depth.... Beautiful man.

 

It just photographs really well! Ha ha! The front fenders (the actual body panel) are off of a 2013, so they look great. The rest of the armor was all just re-powder coated gloss black and is still new. The half doors both came later, but I've scratched them both pretty bad on the trail. The hood and windshield frame both look like they have 105K miles on them. I've been keeping an eye out for a black hood but haven't had any luck.

I forgot...the grill is brand new too. The only parts that are left that are original or untouched are the hood and windshield frame.

Thank you!

 

This may be an option for you for the hood!

Awesome build Marcus!

 

Looks awesome, Marcus!

Why not consider a poly hood for it? Something like the Truck Master cowl hood? Save a little weight and looks a little more aggressive? I've had one sitting in my garage for over a year that I still have yet to install. Hoping to get it on after I move into my new house. AEV is beat to hell from hail damage and clear coat is half peeled off.

 

That's pretty expensive for the take off hoods... I found my black one brand new on Craigslist for $50. Granted that was a pretty good deal, I find them often for around $100.

 

Thanks for the link!
