Next Steps:
Re Decaling, install refinished Fender flares, install new headlamps, add RTE bumpers w/ 9000 winch, RTE skidplate , Roof Rack, all Lights and Viking Synth Winchline, Old Man Emu Steering Stabilizer.

Looking at either 3.94 or 4.11 gears and Detroit TruTrac Lockers and carriers, and a All Alum Radiator, 180 degree temp Therm, new cap and a reseal on the Transfer case... after I receive her back!

Looking good! Why replace the headlamps? What's your source for the all-aluminum radiator?

Trek Update 3/15 Decal installation

Some more of Dale@ RVR Barn's magic here. The Decal install process has started. He hopes to have all of it completed by the beginning of the week. Patience is key here. Another plus ...Dale got the Gas door straightened out :)

Almost complete..hood decal #5 will complete the TReK Decal Process and the fender extensions are refinished and look great! The Hood letters need to be swapped for Black, they sent silver #@$@#$#...I agree Dale.
Dale both you and RTE Bill have transformed this truck. Next week she gets completed at RTE and I am totally thrilled...For any Trek owners that want to freshen up the look of their 2003, the quality of these Decals are much better than the originals and I highly recommend RVR Barn for the sourcing of these and the removal and installing the new graphics !!!

I can not say enough good things about Bill and Will at RTE Fabrication formally RoverTym and Dale at RVR Barn! Bill spent much time helping me decide which way to go with my suspension and bumper design back in Nov/Dec 12. I had little knowledge of LR Discos and he helped a complete nube figure out how to proceed best with what my goals for this vehicle would be....of course this changed over the course of a few months but he helped design the core for what I wanted. His commitment to exceptional customer service has stood out. He has been fair on price and provided awesome communication for me as I have been 4 + hrs away in Georgia during this entire project. Again, I can not say enough good things about RTE and RVR Barn. Dale took me in on a whim when I asked if he could help restore the look of my TReK that was really worn out looking. He has been on top of the cosmetic side of my TReK Restoration and I could not be happier..Not only does he have the connection / know how for replacement graphics and paint and body but Dales knowledge on the Classic LRs is unreal...he is a encyclopedia of knowledge on these things... Both of these guys Bill and Dale, have provided me the perfect combination of commitment to excellence on the quality of their product and services and great communication. I highly recommend both of these folks for anyone contemplating a similar project. Most important they have made this fun. At at the end of the day this is what it is all about.....

I don't believe you've even come close to experiencing the amount of fun you'll have with this truck when it's finished!
