Interiors are obviously a very personal thing, and mine honors the memory of my godfather's little sailboat that I spent a lot of time in as a kid, hence a classic wood and navy combo, which I'm super happy with. These interior shots were taken on my second night out in the rig.

So now the build is done, and as those following me on Instagram ( @sumo2_is_my_name ) will have seen, I've put the finished rig through its paces covering almost 1000 miles off-road on a very circuitous route home from Denver. (more on that in the following post) In the previous post, I left...

Thanks so much for the links, super helpful, digging in now!

Early morning pick up of the final finished unit at Bowens, and I could not be happier about the work and the way the whole crew busted their asses to get me done in good time. I honestly couldn't give these guys a higher recommendation.

Got to spend an hour being blown away by the workmanship, efficiency, and design excellence (not to mention the serious weld porn!) at Bowens this afternoon. These guys are the real deal!

Yesterday was my truck's last day as a pick-up, and we did the 1022 miles from LA to Denver in 14.5 hours, holding between 70-80 mph on the freeways with a trip average of 11.1mpg. I'm super happy with the Lariat F350's outstanding comfort, it's one of the easiest long-distance platforms I've...

Damn, those are high prices, my '22 F350 Lariat 4x4 was only 58k.

Giving this a bump as it's still still in my garage and it needs to go!

Next up, the all-important weighing to discover my final base weight, fully filled wth all upgrades installed. Front Axle 4440 - Rear Axle 3240 for a total of 7680 lbs, so according to my door sticker rated maximum of 11300 lbs, I have 3620 lbs to play with. It seems from reading posts around...

Two weeks to D-Day, that's Denver Day, and my visit to Bowens, Juniper and then Hallmark to finally become the rig I've been dreaming of for all this time! In preparation, I finally fitted the very well-made and thought-out Bellfab skidplate and cat cover, which I'd give a two thumbs up to.

I’ll take it if Griffer doesn’t.

That's all of it, love to get 3k for it all, but all good offers are considered.

I have a whole slew of brand new and unused parts for my old FJ80 that I'd like to sell as a set, let me know if you'd be interested. It may take a few posts to get them all up, so be patient....

Makes me think do we have a list of serious off-road recovery companies anywhere on the site?
