Of you have to park it outside, you might wanna takes those out so the UV doesn't break them down too much.

Don’t worry, this one will never be parked outside
How to describe finally wheeling this thing on the trail and having it work really good without breaking anything..….Sublime
Two majestic dinosaurs in their natural habitat.
you are wheeling a leaf sprung rig??? I didn't think that was possible anymore
just joking of course, you are a bad influence. got me looking at the ol' GM truggy I got sitting out back and thinking of trying to build it. that's a good looking rig.
It’s funny cause even out on the trail I always get people that say “you still rock leaf springs??? But why??” And I respond with, “cause I’m cheap!”you are wheeling a leaf sprung rig??? I didn't think that was possible anymore

It may not be as nimble as buggy’s, but it’s got styling for days. I was getting a crazy amount of looks and comments on it out on the trail today. I love seeing different stuff than just Jeeps on the trail…and this thing is for sure different
I’d be scared to scratch that thing. But glad to see it out working.
Nope, this thing is built to be beaten. That was the beauty of starting with one that was already beat up. The pics don’t show it but there are already dents all over the cab and what’s left of the fenders. So it won’t bother me when more dents start showing up.
the run yesterday was just to shake it down as it was the first time on a rock trail, so I didn’t go too crazy. But already got some rock rash on the sliders for sure
I don’t get on here much anymore. Life is busy with kids and and building stuff. I have had this thing out on the trail multiple times in the last year. Also competed in Idaho Tuff Truck Challenge with it which was fun. It’s a big awesome wheeler that has style, so it’s a bunch of fun. Here is a video of some wheeling I did about 10 months ago. Since then I’ve added bump stops to the front, changed the front shock configuration, and a couple other small things
And I never started a thread on my street/strip c10 that was discussed a few pages back. But I built that last winter and got it on the road/track. Here are a couple vids of that rig. It’s really fun to drive on the street and been tinkering with it at the drag strip. Got it to 12.84 at 103mph, but I think there is more in it NA with some tuning. Then I’ll throw nitrous at it. Plan to do some things to it before summer drag racing.
Sweet trucks dude!
Thanks for the updates 
I saw a few pics of it in the background off some ITTC pics

Some spring time snow wheeling before the snow melts
It's still amazing how close that thing is to the vision I've had for mine lol. We must be on the same thought wavelength 
.
About the only difference is color, I never thought of Rockwell's, and I wasn't into exo cages. Yours is changing my mind kinda on the exo cage thing though. Every time I see it I picture mine with one and how I'd do it.
Sweet truck man

Thanks. It’s got style, there’s no doubt about that, haha. And exo’s look real good if done right. As long as you keep the tube really close to the body, they can look really good and function better (in my opinion) than an interior cage as it gives you that much more protection on the trail and more headroom inside. The exo cages that look like crap are ones where the tube is too far away from the body and the tubes don’t generally follow the existing body lines of the truck
Nice update!
Very cool!
Very cool!
Tire likes that fender
47’s are bigger in real life, haha. When I got home I took the sledgehammer to the firewall some more
