It's been a while since I have been on the portal, I've been traveling out of the country most of the summer. So I thought I might get my build thread back up to date, I realize I have been back from this trip for about 4 months but here are a couple more things that I did before I took off.

Shovel Rack Mount
This last minute addition ended up being one of the most used. Quick Fists mounted with stainless hose clamps to the rack. When putting this together I kinda thought it was maybe a stupid idea. I wasn't sure if I really needed it and felt it was a little flashy, I like to keep things as low pro as possible. I had no idea how convenient it would be to have the shovel available with such easy access or how much I would use it.

CB Antenna bracket
I made a beefier CB antenna bracket out of 4" section of stainless angle iron. Just used the existing rack bolts to hold it on.

laidback: Yea, I think thats a great way to do it also, I thought about option when I was shell shopping. It just didn't work well with my other modifications like the rack and rear window design.

CYi5: I believe that they are 33x12.5 on 17s Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ
