Update - 8/15/07
Cut out the RH side inner wheel well and made some extra room for the DSE Mini tub.. Test fitting new tub which should allow another 3" of tire to the ground.
Test fit the roof and rails. Need to finish some patchwork under the roof and install the sound deadener before welding the roof in place.

DSE Mini Tub kit is complete. I also just ordered a new Moser 12 Bolt rear end and G-Bar suspension setup. The new rear is a 4.11 true-trac and I had it narrowed 2" on each side. I am currently fitting all the exterior panals, still have a few issues to work out..
Got the DSE rollbar in and installed.
Rear being test fitted
Started work on frame. Replaced a few of the body mount areas where they had rusted a bit. Also cut out the bottom area where it had caved in a litte from all the jacks that had been under it.
Added some extra support so it wont cave in again.
Painted the frame.
Playing around, put one of the old rear tires on. The new ones will be a bit wider.
