Very Nice! with the full width axles they really don't stick out that far has a great look to it. What back spacing are you running on the wheels?

Thanks! The wheels are 17 x 9.5 with a 4.71" back space, seems like a weird number but I double checked on Racelines site.

Congrats on the nice write up! Looks like a great group of rigs, these photos seem very similar I had to do a double take just to be sure it wasn't "photo shopped" lol

The short list is:
New cage
New front winch bumper
Move the rear end back a couple inches
Center console
Put new coil overs in
Possibly remove tank and go to a fuel cell
