Nice!  I agree with the wheels. I’m in the process of putting 18” on mine. What is the cut out of your heat shields?  Where did you buy the roll bars?  I can only find one place that sells them.

I dont recall on the roll bars because i bought them ar the start of the project in 2004/5. But i have the box so ill get the name when i go out to my shop next.

also on wheels im thinking either 19-20. Enough to make it past the ebracket in rear and tie rod ends at front.

I am running 255/60/15 (27.4” diameter) so even at 20” id still have 3.5” of sidewall 

might have good use for the very new tires...  the 81 barn find

That will give me an excuse to buy my new wheels and tires
