PM sent bud 
Dave,
I have some questions regarding your Redneck Ram.
Are you drilling and porting the steering box yourself?
Or are you ordering in a new one to replace your old? If so are you giving them the core?
Are you mounting any other accessories with this, such as a larger rervoir, larger pump, cooler, etc?
I would really like to take a look at your set-up and do the drilling and porting myself. But I want to see where Redneck Ram does it.... I hope to catch you when you pass by BC! Ill buy you a coffee or a beer or all us jeepers can meet up at a resturant or something.
Your jeep is looking really really good and becoming very capable!!!! All the mods you have done, I back up 100%!!!

What exactly happened to you in the mud with the clutch? I'm sure I've used mine before while in the mud? Is that going to mess it up somehow?
Thanks for all the pics and the story, I am pretty sure I am going to upgrade to 315/75/16 Toyo MTs. I just need to pick my wheels. Did you have any rubbing issues with only 4.25" BS I have been looking at the Cragar or ProComp Street Locks in 16x8 with 3.75" BS. Any advice would be most appreciated!
P.S. - How did you get this effect on your pic? Photoshop I'm sure, but what did you do?
unfortunately the last trip of that summer ended in disaster when I accidentally used the clutch while stuck in a mud hole...sure enough that was the end of my trip, had to be towed for a good 4 hrs out of the trail and then flatbedded 5hrs back to vancouver
won't be doing that again....

More Updates: built my stinger today, as well as painted the tire carrier and corners, as well as siliconed the gaps between the corner and body. all thats left to do now it fab up a bracket to mount the jerry can between the tire and the tailgate...hopefully done by the end of the week. Also, I may add a smaller tube that will cut across the top part of the stinger hoop, but still not sure if I want to do that yet.
PICS:

tacking the stinger on:

corners done:
