Do you know how tall it is from the top of the box to the ground, and other random heights?

I would love to put the TG 5" kit on my 81... in the future (crazy broke), but I like to get my research done ahead of time.

Haha. The bottom half.

Thanks Andrew. Yeah, don't know if I'll go with those, or buy my bud's 38x14.5x15 TSL Radials. Wants $500 for em. Choices choices

As far as color goes. I don't know. Will probably start fixing up the sheetmetal and do some bondo work tomorrow. Leaning between painting it flat black, black herculiner, camo, or go classic and true to it's ancestor by going kawasaki green. I need to do a poll. Lol

Fine... figures you'd like the bottom.

As for the paint, how about krylon copper 'hammered'?
