Looking great, but needs more mud

Ahh, I h8mud. Rear pop outs from local salvage yard. Side pop outs from fordparts.

Love the van! Clean and simple with pop-outs was for sure the right way to go.

Thanks! Trying to keep it simple-ish..

Ok. Whats the dirt on that bumper? I don't want a winch bumper, and want to trim down some of the space up front. I really like what you did. That should also clear up some clearance space up front for bigger tires.

Thank you sir. I wanted to tie the frame together, low profile and have extraction points. 2x6 box tubing and 8 threaded slugs. . And a little bit of rough around the edges fab. basically a vertical piece with a horizontal piece laid on top, and two pieces the size of the bumper pads with slugs for mounting and spacing it out. Then tapering and capping the ends.

Are those Mojave Teflon rims? They look really good on your van!

Looking good!
Mind if I ask who popped the top? I would love to do that but that's on the later list. Thanks

Good looking rig! Question for you though... what year are those pop out rear windows from? I can't find them anywhere! Keep up the good work.
