Really nice to see somebody having fun with their ifs and not complaining about needing a solid axle.Looks like your a good driver, and you've built you rig well.Keep up the good work. I'm working on trading my accord for a silver 89 4x4, it's built on ifs I'll post some pictures if I end up getting the little beast.
There was no tire clearance problem with the fenders, I just didn't like how crammed it looked so I cut 'em up to make it look better. The only clearance problem with the 33x10.50's is the pinch weld on the inner fender fire wall on the front.

How is the optima holding up? Guys around here that I've been talking to have less than glowing reviews of them. A couple of guys had their optima's burn out after a year. Still, the price is better than the odysseys by a fair bit, so if they work well, I may give one a shot.

Finally got my rear bumper built and put on....not completely done yet though. I'm gunna get some 1.5" .120 wall tube bent to protect the headlights and higher up on the body...kinda like all the tube bumpers out there. I made it out of 2"x4"x0.25" tube. Its a heavy ass bumper but at least it won't bend like my last bumper...Marlin Crawler Oh yeah, and it was made with a 110v lincoln mig 140HD with .035 wire cranked all the way up and preheated with beveled joints
