Its shaky upon first start up and with occasionally put a pending misfire code on the UltraGauge. It smooths out as soon as any amount of power is applied.

...I'd have more miles if I didn't life on a freaking island... somewhere that had more places to go.

Thats exactly what Steve said to me. I put about 100 miles on the first day and then maybe another 40 the second before I changed the oil. Its definitely gotten smoother since the first day, but still throws the pending misfire from time to time (I think I've gotten the CEL once). I've been riding my bike into work because I wasn't sure about driving less than 2 miles and how that would affect the engine early on. I've been trying to make sure when I drive it I put at least a dozen or so miles on it before I shut it back down. But I love it so far.

I'm slowly teaching him how to drive it. Really hard to under stand that "reverse vs. drive" theory. Oh well, what's a new winch line cost anyways? :)

Not many new improvements, performance wise. I kinda took care of all that when I built it. I did blow my rear locker snatching an 80ft long tractor trailer combo. But besides the replacement locker, nothing new. Made a few interior upgrades. Mantec shelves and rear door grates.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

And yes, I did go full blown rice burner , sorry! I've always wanted one , and the opportunity came up, and I grabbed it.image.jpg

I will say, when I pulled the final truck into place......
The heavens opened
I heard Gabriel's Trumpet
And angels cried
LOL

Love the Mantec shelf and door grates. You import them yourself, or are they available from one of the Rover parts outfits here in the US?
