I like it, very nice. Did you do any reinforcing to the UniBody? Are you having any problems with the Unibody flexing oddly?

It flexes pretty good. I got to see that first hand tonight on the Chivo run. Heck, it flexed REALLY well until we noticed the rear trackbar was missing a bolt and not working. His rear axle was shimmying side to side a good 4" either direction ...Out came my bolt box and it was fixed well enough to get him out safely

Cool, and I can see the suspension flex in the pics, but I was talking about the actual body of the truck. Also, gotta love the cool on the spot simple trail repairs.

Go flex? Looks good, the body flex thing is for real, my buds C car doors won't open, well at least not when he is flexed out. Kinda funny how they do that, ohh well, I guss it's a Jeep thing.

Lol ya the body does flex a lot i never open the doors or try not to when im flexing but i suppose that the sliders do a little reinforcing to help the body out.

You can also weld some reinforcing plates to the underside to help prevent the body from over flexing. The problem with unibody is, after you go out and flex a bit too much, all of a sudden you are out on the street, go to Circle-K for a soda, and your door won't open, or worse, it won't close.
This is also by no means a knock on Jeep. or maybe it is(with no malicious intent though), but they make these very capable off road trucks, i.e. the running gear, axles, t-case, etc., so why do they make them unibody? Also, to reinforce that I am not knocking Jeep, the body flex thing is not Jeep specific, it goes for all unibody vehicles.

When you want to make a really good one, I can use Studio 9 and we can create an awesome one...There's going to be lots of photo ops on the chimney run...and the gap.
