she has changed a bit.no more stock bumper,rockers or flares..after bashing the front bumper on a rock/tree,a friend built a simple C channel bumper for me and he also cut off rotted rocker panels and welded on some 2X5 square tubing..fender flares have been replaced with TJ flares.(four rear flares).other misc stuff is she has been demolded and rear fenders have been trimmed a bit..plus a couple more dents and dings..

cutting rockers off..

Very nicely done man! Just out of curiosity how do those dunlops perform offroad?

Thanks to both of yeah.

I'verun them through mud,snow and on rock,if aired down properly (around 15 psi) they worked pretty well (IMHO).

there's one trail in my area that has a semi steep incline with left turn in the middle and i crawled right up it when it was wet and muddy.they act the same in deep snow when aired down..thin sidewall though so even at 25psi,walls will start to flex.

Well thanks for the review on those tires lol ive been looking at purchasing a set of them, especially since BFG quit making its KM1 mud terrain, not to mention they're cheaper than BFG's
