We’ve progressed nicely test fitting and assembling of Dinoot #1. Everything is going together as expected, with only a few minor details to work out. Here are some more photos.

Where did you get the fender modelings from? Looking for something similar for my build.

Here is a customers Extended tub kit starting to go together, a father, daughter team is building it. Yes it does look a little funny on 12" tires with the big TJ flares while it waits for new matching tires and rims.

Here is on Extended tub I'm putting together to use as a platform for developing hardsided camper options on a HF frame.

Here are what the small inner fenders look like, the standard HF tires correctly cutout and the difference between the standard 4.80-12" tires and 205/75/15" tires.
