You should plan on coming to the Kubel Treffen this year. This will be my second year to attend.

It’s a great time.

Very nice work! I like the color.

Where did the bumpers come from?

Nice hat! I was in from 71 to 75.

After having shoulder surgery i decided to upgrade the steering wheel on the Project. Went from 13.5 to a 16” wheel. This will make steering much easier for me with the off road tires.

Still enough legroom for getting in and out as well as driving. 😎

Maybe 1-1/2” higher. I never measured stock ride height.

Its still about 1/2” -3/4” off the stops. Rides fine and doesn’t bang on stops driving on the road.
