What do you plan to do with that rig? I hope not rock crawl.. does it flex? Your approach angle is horrid with that winch on there. Looks like a fun hunting rig or something but I can't picture it doing anything hardcore.

These are intended to be trail trucks. This truck was never intended to be used hardcore. However I do have a Solid axle version I am working on. That truck will be more for crawling. I am building a new bumper that will raise my winch 6 inches.

Yes I am looking into that, they really only need a windshield to make it street legal. This one in the pics does not have its headlights yet, but they do get headlights, tail lights, and turn signals. It is in the works.

I have built many hotrods...my personal truck has a lowered front windshield post to feel like the top is chopped. My truck is just under 6 feet tall.
