Lol, I've never posted anything about this build, then Saturday just decided to upload the pics & throw them on. Just installed the windsheild last night. Holy crap! I'm no glass guy & I am the guy that broke my good glass trying to pull it out to "save it."

I should have taken you up on the welding of my tie rod just so I could have seen this in person. Good stuff.

Nice enclosure...very clean. I like how you integrated the speakers. Gets me thinking of a better way to mount my subwoofer.

The way I have my swing out spare is pretty confusing to average joe. It's like a Rubik's cube. really I'll just throw my winch (on a receiver mount) and my tool bin back their.
