Looks great!
I'm curious to see how it looks if you decide to bed line some of the exterior. Keep us updated!

Front bumper. I drilled a hole and threw a nut and bold on each side to hold the plastic to the bumper.

The tolerances or gaps between the pinch seam and the rear bumper (just to put things in perspective.)

Fort Campbell ky. Infantryman in the 101st.

I salute you brother, along with all service men/women. I worked at Anniston Army Depot for 4 years building parts for M1's, Stryker's and AR-15's. I've seen the vehicles inbound that have been blown up and I salute anyone who lays their life on the line so we can keep jeepin back home.

Thank you I appreciate it. Yeah those trucks are built pretty damn good, but damn they just keep building bigger IED's. I have quite a few friends still with me because of the Stryker.

I worked for 6 months in phase 3 inspection on the Stryker line, so my crew was the last to touch it before DCMA bought it back and it shipped off. We drove the piss out of them trying to find weak points. We could have the trucks anywhere from a few days to a month finding things and fixing them. Funniest thing I've ever done was driving one around the test track wide open haha

Yeah they aren't too fast lol we hardly dealt with strikers though mostly walked or used MRAPS. I would've loved having Strykers. My other favorite truck was the MATV. But those didn't do so great in explosions. But I think the 12.9 liter cat engine and straight pipes scared the Taliban :)

Them cat engines are stout! The transmission is big as the engine tho lol. My crew were the only ones in phase 3 that could swap a jake brake in less than an hour without pulling the power pack haha. The good ole days of 14 hours a day haha. I don't miss em

I chopped the bumper exactly like the write up on this site I think it was "homemade stubby bumper".
If you don't do that there would be some rubbing on that fake plastic skid plate upfront.

You won't regret taking off the rear bumper. Great look. Especially with the EVO rears

Very nice!!! Your rig is looking good! Those are my favorite tires! I was going to go with those in 35s but decided duratracs were the smart thing to do as I live in Colorado and snow is a factor!
