very nice but I don't see how you can make it 2800lbs. you must be adding a lot of junk.

Raff, congrats on getting the Rampage on the ground and rolling! That's a significant milestone in your project! The body stance looks good! It will look even better when fully loaded down.
BTW, did you find a deal on aluminum diamond plate?
Now that you can stand back and admire it, have you thought about a color to paint it? If it were mine, I'd add ghost pearl version of the factory stripes, with RAMPAGE plus the actual engine size.

Flame Red or I have a Chrysler Candy Apple Red (not
a true candy apple)... I was thinking of ghost flames
