My FZJ 80, 5 months and the build continues...

[jwilliams]

Just wanted to introduce myself and show you what I have been up to since I made the purchase.
I sold my built up 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II and bought the a 1997 LC 80.
I have always loved the look and am so happy I finally made the switch.

Stats:
1997 LC80 Triple locked, 154,000 miles on her
ARB front winch bar
10,500 lbs MileMarker Hydraulic winch
2.5" OME lift, full heavies all around
285/75/16 Cooper Discoverer ST/Maxx

Finally got a chance to test the build out so far, and I am beyond happy. Can't wait to add more goodies.

Here are some pictures and videos from the recent trail in Natural Bridge State Park in Kentucky.

How are you liking the ST MAXX? I love mine so.

This was the first outing with the tires. I was very happy with them. I debated for a long time between the Goodyear Duratracs and the ST/Maxx. In the end I wanted to go against the popular brand and try something I thought would have better sidewall construction.

Here is a link to the "build-up" pictures so far:
