Fantastic Job, Derek. The rack looks really nice on there, and I am glad to hear it is a solid mount. The fleet looks pretty darn nice as well. Congratulations!

Thanks Paul- You were extremely helpful with the rack and I appreciate it!

That's going to look ridiculously nice! Can't wait to see them all buttoned up!

And then dirty!

Great Build ! :victory:

I can't wait either! The tacoma is gonna look and function great but it probably won't ever get the looks the SMB does.

Right on!

I thought you might say those exact words!

I am sure you have a picture of all of them... Humor me!

I was asked how the track was mounted to the shell so...

It's a proprietary track that was cut to length and bolted to the top (I cut the track a tad too short!)

Nice collection of rigs you have there :costumed-smiley-007
That Sportsmobile is pretty slick!

The CBI armor is lookin real good, can't wait to see it mounted up.
Very cool!

The CBI bumpers are at the powdercoaters so I should have them on by next week sometime- I can't wait. In the meantime I picked up a 2011 colormatched grille and decals for a change...

Thanks! I have a full OME lift, 886's up front and a Dakar leaf pack in the rear with an extra leaf. Shocks match. IMO the OME is ideal for low maintenance, high quality, solid 3" with weight for offroad lift. The wheels are ATX Artilleries with 285/70/17 KM2 BFG.

I originally had the 885's but they sagged too much. The ride is somewhat stiffer but not bad at all- no sag at all for ~2 years. The weight of my CBI bumper will soften it.

I finally got some pics. They are driveway shots again- working a lot lately! The bumpers turned out great I think. No issues with the install other than that mentioned. They are bulletproof! Here you go...

Thanks guys- CBI sure can make bumpers. It's coming together but it's never really finished, is it? I put some Doug Thorley long tube headers on it yesterday as well- really woke it up midrange. It feels like a rocket with that supercharger!
