Thanks edson,

While I've been down with the ACL tear I had some powdercoating done by JP @ Strip Tech. My Cusco RUCA's as well as the LQ9 valve covers in wrinkle red.

And to start rebuilding the RUCA's since it seems like the PO didn't know they were left hand thread.. QA1 XMR12 chromoly rod ends - I just need to turn up the 3/4 to M26x1.5LH adapter this week.

Picked up a set of JDMFlares Wide ZG fender flares - 3.75" in the rear, 3.25" in the front. I'm not a fan of doing the usual sheet metal screw so I grabbed M8 nutserts and the tool to install them.

The interior was pretty haggard from welding the rails and sitting forever. All seam sealer is gone, penetrating welds smoothed and all the remnants of sound deadening gone as well.

Made these up for the front cage mounts

Now that the front mounts are done, need to clearance the cowl a bit to allow a nice tight fit of cage to A-pillar.

Also need to cut some tube with an ID larger than the OD of your cage, in an odd shape similar to the pic.

I still have to finish up the cowl clearancing but that's it for today!
