*Note: All tools and parts for tools are already paid for prior to list,

So i want your input on what else i should do?

Keep in mind, my purpose is to make this as STOCK looking as possible but having incredible off road capability. So i wont go more than 2" lift kind of thing. Working as a Mechanic/Manager/Security will pay for all of this within a year by my estamites.

I am going to connect the front bumper to the sliders and the sliders to the rear bumper just like "MossyRocks" did.

How much paint/bodywork/fabrication experience do you have?
You realize the astronomical budget for such and undertaking right?

I have some experiance in the field. My friend/neighbour just finished 2 years of Mechanic's and finished with the highest GPA in his class and had the best score in the course's 24 year history at his school in Ontario. So i will basiclly be his apprentice.

And as for the budget, down here in Belize you can get premuch anything you need. For most important items i would just get shipped here through Marage trucking in LA. And when my B&B opens i'll be bringing in enough money to do the project. I'll list the prices of everything now.
