@Skim did you ever do a build thread..? Looks amazing, I'm not ready right now but I'll keep an eye on this. If you don't mind, I'd like to see some better pictures.

Still available

Clean and simple was my plan....thanks for the comments.
I built it with the best parts I could find while keeping from making it a mix of every company out there.
I went with Marlin Crawler parts wherever I could.

Up for sale again.....still available

Needs front ARB locker wired and front differential resealed. Starting to leak a little.

I can fix just limited on time right now.

Looking for $10k or trade for 80 Series Land Cruiser with low mileage.
