Amazing what you can do with a Base, a few thousand bucks, and a lot of know-how. This looks amazing - may have to steal some of your modifications (rear seat delete, taped weld, speaker upgrade...).
I finally have some competition for my unicorn 7/19 2 door hardtop. Yours looks so good! I went with the rough country 2 inch spacers and I also ran into the same issue with alignment. The shop I went to is trying to get the alignment specs but after seeing what you said I can assume it will be awhile. I will have to tell them about the ford escape thing. For now, mine drives decent so I am not too worried about it, but definitely need an alignment soon.
Also, you just confirmed that I need to ordered sasquatch flares for mine. Mine wheels are 0 offset and have a lot of poke so I will be ordering those after I finish typing this.
Question, did you have any issues with the tailgate table? I have it sitting in my garage and have not attempted the install yet. I don't know if I feel comfortable drilling into the tailgate as the instructions state. Plus I've heard issues with the screws being too long and poking out the back.
