Yea I liked the push bar also but it mounts to the frame so there isn't clearance with the bumper raised.

Bowtiefreak- I have Por15 sitting in the kitchen. waiting for some time to paint it :)

Looks much better and x2 on raising up the steps a bit. I like the steps a lot but just need to be raised and "tucked" a little :waytogo:

I'm squeezed for time but I'm going to try to do a section of the frame every night. I can't wait to get it painted though. It will be much cleaner. Would you raise the step bars? I kinda like how they are separated from the body but I'm not sure

It's easy to relocate them so maybe I'll move them up a little bit. Thanks guys!
