If you chop the trees down how will you get the sweet above shots!? :haha:

It's cool how a rig can look from a good angle when a pic is taken... like Greg hanging in the rafters of his garage! :thumb:

You said those pictures where from standing on the DDs tool box, looks like they were took from way higher than that. Anyway, Pure coolness! The Mut is turning out Epic! Proportions look spot on! SICK! :waytogo:
 
actually, now that you say that.. yes, :haha: I may have stood on the roof of the 2wd p-up... :pimp:

had a hardcore bicycle rider stop yesterday.. old dood.. said he was a teacher at a regional school... had to hunt me down and tell me how amazing it was.. thinks his students would think it pretty cool... whether that's 2nd graders, or high school, knows? ;)


aesthetically? it's pretty spot on to what my brain pic was..


more... the doghouse idea.. didn't know that.. perfect solution...


build my own door's and lower boxes, mmmkay.. we'll make it work better...


but overall, don't think I would change a single design idea at this point.. :waytogo:


even the amber lightbar... I think it's gonna add HUGE to the overall look... break it up more... add to the spare..









motivated old lad I am, I am, these days... :popcorn:
 
ok, cool... glad I asked... :bow:

I think that's whats coming with the u-bolts I bought..

and I think the studs will be too short for the pack, 0 rate and shim.... so I wanna have a back up plan.... ;)
 
:bow:





here's how the flaps worked out... gotta run down to the marina and get the proper hardware.. 1" x 1/8" strip steel frame.. 4 bolts across the top, 2 in the lower corners..

frames and flaps are rounded at the bottom..
