Pat, my friend your rig looks badass! Great build!! Larry :beer:
Larry, Thanks. I am going to bring Rex out to your area in 2012. I have to. I'll give you the heads up, although I should pin down dates soon. Pat

UM... AWESOME! yes caps and yes awesome! dont know how i missed it! how do the sway bar relocation brackets work? if they work as good as they look then i am sold haha
I think TNT made them (When TnT gave Rex back they were there). They are bolted to the top of the frame.

Looks to me that they had to heavily modify the front body mounts. This is what I was looking at doing to move mine out of the way.

Killer set up. A lot of things well thought out.
Bob Levenhaugen the owner of TnT is a genious. Rex was somewhat of an experimental rig for them. They make a part, then we go out and push the envelope. Now, everything seems robust--the parts are strong (and yes it took many iterations).
 
:bounce:I saw Rex getting on I25 this morning off Belleview; that is one sweet ride!! I just wish I could've gotten a little closer so I could gawk, but no such luck. Even from a few cars back I could tell those wheels are HUGE!! By far, one of my favorite rigs, props to LeftHandRubi for a sweet build.:bounce:

Rex got featured in the Jan 2012 edition of JP Magazine (feature spread over 5 pages). Pics are from back in April. Good job TnT at getting Rex in there.

I got to see this rig wheel, in person at jeep camp earlier this year! what an awesome rig! And the guys from TnT were some of the nicest guys I have met in a long tim. Not to mention all of their rigs are SICK, and these guys know how to wheel! I hope to have one of their suspensions on my rig eventually.

Congrats on the JP feature Pat!

Will you be at jeep camp again in '12? Im hoping I make it, and hopefully I will be in my JKU, instead of riding shotgun again!
