Misc Observations:
Had to cut quite a bit, could have avoided that by getting light racing uca's that allow for up to 4° caster. Mine maxed out at 2.75°, CMC plus some plastic.
*Looks like I need to reshape the inner fender wall, the pinch welds are rubbing on one side....odd. *had he alignment redone, got 3.8/4.1 than bent pinch weld back and trimmed, no rubbing at flex...but havent full flexed it yet.

Getting an oscillating vibration from the front end around 30-40mph, I suspect that's the drivers side differential bearing, ordered a ecgs bushing, installing, when time allows. * installed and gone.

BAMF Sliders, has to buy some standoffs for the box on the drivers side/inside of frame. The bolt that mounts the slider was too long for the box to be mounted flush. Might just remove the bolt and cut it, so it fits. Also BAMF might want to consider dropping the nuts for the rear bolt and just go with a welded nut on some plate. Almost impossible to hold that sucker on the drivers side.

lighting mods and spare switches. 5 relays 10 fuses, 5 of the fuses dedicated to relay outputs, 5 for other auxiliaries (cb/ham radios spare usb chargers). Second ground crimp is kinda crappy going to redo and heat shrink.
Ground bar was a 350 amp blade fuse leg. The rest is from amazon.

Looking good.

I really like my RCI skids but the CBIs and others look great too. I highly recommend getting a set that has the oil filter access panel so you don't have to drop the whole skid at every oil change.

Click to expand...

worried the access plate will be a weak point, suppose I could get mobtown steel with reinforced ribs
 
What's the 3rd brake light mod here? I must be missing it in the original build list post. I dig it. Great looking build. Thanks for sharing.
