sweet!

I really like your build up bro!:wings:

Thanks J!

Have you had a chance to try out your new tires? Think you will have to trim the corners of your fenders at all?

Lookin' good!

What required welding? Mine required trimming, but was otherwise a bolt on. Has the design changed?

Thanks Craig!

He is shipping them with the sliders unattached for cost purposes and then you weld them up, it was fairly easy... I did a rush job because I was trying to make the trip so last night I basically reinstalled the bumper all over again.

Very happy with my decision!

I haven't yet. I have to get longer shocks and spring retainers. Also my rear bumper has to be redone other wise my tires will wear fast.

yep I'll have to trim too!:victory:

Hey,

Long time no hear from.

The first photo is the trail leaving stone cabin and the second one is from Panamint near the "entering Death Valley " sign.

ok I think that's the section between Geologist Cabin and the Racetrack? yes a nice area!

we did a new area this year, ... Defense Mine- the last page of pics from here
http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13579

... it is a really fun trail tho (an expo LR flopped on it's side here-there was a thread about it) and despite that flop, it is not a dangerous trail. That flop was a fluke I think.
I think it's worth investigating in the future. Your truck is plenty equipped for it and it's a lot of fun. i'm looking fwd to going back there

this one is mine

rick(red truck) and alvaro (white truck) on the same page of pics did it much easier. rick had the magic eye and just scampered up the climb- i wasn't so lucky, it took a bit longer....but finally made it under my own pwer thanks to good spotting and some helpful rocks!

coincdentally, the LR rolled just to the right of the photo. The climb is an optional.

i guess it's getting too hot now but we go every spring. i'll def. remember to keep you updated.

back to your buildup!:Mechanic: :coffeedrink:

Coleman brackets will be used to mount the Hi-Lift to the Safety Devices rack. Who knew they came in my favorite color???

Louis,

Where did you get these? These look, if they're the right diameter, like they might be very useful for attaching items to my Yakima Load Warrior. Do you have a URL that you could share?

BTW, this has been a great truck thread and a careful, thoughtful build-up.

Why the heck have I been missing your build thread?!?! You have one cool Land Rover:26_7_2: You and Richard have corrupted me.
