I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Can't wait to bolt my windshield visor up. Should look good.

No clear coat. I plan on bouncing this thing off trees when it's finished.

That was actually supposed to be a shot at your lack of fenders, but I guess nobody gets a good "somethings missing" joke anymore.

I guess some people enjoy wheeling with their eye closed. Seems to be a common form of wheeling these days. :dunno:

Not so much. I'm building this for the sole purpose of wheeling. so I'm sure it has body damage in it's future.

If I go out wheeling and tag/tap a tree then it's not so bad. But blatantly saying your going out and hitting trees is not wheeling.

A guy on another board made tube flares for his truck and claims its for when he is on the trails, the trees will bounce off. If your going down trails where your hitting trees, #1 Your too wide and not following the proper trails. #2 Not caring about trail etiquit and mowing down anything you see and blazing new trails just for the sake of it.

Any good wheeler will tell you they never hit trees rather the trees move when your not looking and hit you.

There will be some of the not wide enough for the trail stuff, plus narrow stuff where the walls are higher than ones roof. I like tight trails in the woods. Plus snow makes for sliding. So does mud.
