Kevin is 7'10"... he just steps in. Really quite odd to see, actually.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

He only looks that tall when viewed using the "Hobbit's Eye View" technique.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

I've got a single swing out door in the back.  I'll be hugging the tires to get them in there for a while.  Future plans call for a spare tire carrier that may double as a ramp.  

And the sheet metal is 16 guage.  A bit thicker than I was planning orginally, but I'm liking the rigidity now that it's on.

Painting the sides starts tonight...

So where can I find spacers like yours?

I picked up my new axle from Standens, but to run E-brakes I will need to add spacers so my Moabs clear.

FYI - I ran mine for two years before I decided to upgrade to trailer brakes.  Several long downhill smoky decents, and a few hairy moments on the trail I think its worth it.

In my case I will also get to ditch my 5 on 5.5 Spare and just carry the 5 on 4.5 spare on the tailgate.  Another benefit is It will now be as wide as my TJ track width.
