Your jeep looks like its leaning to the passenger side. Especially when looking at the pictures from the back. Have you noticed this too or was it just how the pictures were taken?

Nice jeep. Two things that I'm not real big on is the stinger and the tire carrier. I know what a stinger is for (other than looks) and I personally wouldn't have one on my Jeep, let alone, one as big as yours on my Jeep. Just my opinion. To each their own. One that big is unsafe for the road also. For the tire carrier I think the tire sits way too low. You must not do much off-roading. If you do, maybe you don't do rock or dirt ledges because it is going to hit most ledges you go off of and possibly get bent or hang you up. Just my thoughts man. Other than that good job.

Cool thread, nice to see the progression and how it's come together. The tire carrier does look a bit odd that low but I like your creative solutions to fabbing/modding instead of just buying everything. Painting the top made a huge difference. Looking good!
