You need to get a shop in Moab....

Great job; can't wait to see it climbing boulders in Moab.

Thanks guys!!!
I wish i could say this was my handy work but it's not.The truck is close to 2 hours away and the most i have done was visit it:sigh:
It's tough not being hands on but i will have plenty to do once we get it back:horns:
We finally got the tires after a 3 month back order:roll:

Close to ride height.It will be a few inches taller when finished.

The same tire mounted on a 10" rim versus the Hutchinson 7.5 rim

A couple of cool weld pics
