VERY GOOD LOOKING EX !!

that looks better than some that i've seen with 14 or 18" of lift and 38's-44's. i think it's the use of the cut out flares, and just a moderate lift!

I agree...since I do some offroading, I wanted to stuff the biggest tires i could with the least amount of lift to keep the center of gravity fairly low.

People have been doing this for years using the Maglite mounting brackets, they work perfect on a roller fairlead.

The X looks great. You must have alot of faith in the thickness of that ice, that's not exactly a Fiat. I think I'd be a scared Mr. Poopy Pants .

Agreed. If you're keeping it white, my vote is for "The Yeti"

It looks unstoppable.

Man that thing looks good! I would love to have that look, but I have not idea how I would get my baby in his car seat! LOL! I would need a retractable step ladder or something.
