Here's a sneak peak at her.....
I still have some fine tuning and a couple things to mount. I'll wait until that's done to give all the details.:wings:

Now it's looking more like a LC should!

Great build. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Looks great. Nice and clean.

Here's another pic. I got the Slee Rear bumper and tire carrier mounted.

Still "fine tuning" some things but she's pretty much ready to go.

Very clean. I like it. Now let's get it dirty!

Still "fine tuning" ...

Sounds like you have something up your sleeve. So let's see it. :sombrero:

As for gearing pre-03 were 4.30s and 4.10s post.

Thus
4.88/4.1 = 19% That sounds pretty good, no?
4.88/4.3 = 13%
5.29/4.3 = 23%

Looks like the wing is titled up a little. Install a shim between the frame mount and the frame on the frontmost bolt of the rear two bolts that attach the bumper to the frame. If you do not have one, let me know. A large washer will work as well. The top of the wing should be parallel to the plastic trim piece.

I agree! Any dirt shots? Has this thing been used yet?

Thanks for the tip Christo, I'll work on that this week.

This rig has never seen a dirt road!!! I bought it stock at the end of last year and just finished the current mods. You should see the engine compartment, looks brand new.

My wife and I had our 2nd baby in January. Between kids, family and work I haven't had a chance to take it out yet.

Adventureduo - Do you know if the road is open out at Santiago Canyon? I'd lie to go up to Santiago Peak????

thanks
