Lots of updates! The portal doesn't allow photos to be uploaded so I haven't bothered with updating this thread.
This has all the current build information:

ARB Bumper, Zeon 10s, Lovells Springs, OME Sport Shocks, Rock Sliders, Bushskinz Full skids, DieHard Plat 31m, ARB Compressor, Sleeping platform & ARB Fridge Installed. Plus about $3k worth of motor / truck maintenance (all oem parts): Headlights, Brakes/Rotors F/R, Heads Rebuilt, Tbelt, Water Pump, All Pulleys, All hoses, Belt, Injector Rebuild, starter, plugs, wires, crank/cam sensor and a long long list more.. Basically the motor was stripped to the block. Every part was hand cleaned and anything replaceable was replaced with factory parts. It runs like new!
I have 4.90 Gears and ARB Lockers ready to install. I'll be replacing the CV boots and all bushings when those get installed (new bearings for the diffs too). Then LRA 15 or 20 Gallon Fuel tank and custom rear bumper. Working on design for full roof rack for awnings, maxtrax, camp lighting and kayak hauling.
Just got back from a 2,300 mile expedition trip through Montana and Wyoming. Some incredible trails and beautiful sites. Heading to Mt Rainier area next month.
