What is up with the chicken!? And why is your steering wheel on the ground in the last picture?

Do you have lockers in this truck yet? LSD in the rear?

Cheers

The chicken we purchased on New Year's Eve. We had planned to make "Caldo de Gallina" at Nakum, but we made the mistake of naming the Chicken Nahual and decided to keep him. Nahual means "spirit" so she ended up taking on the role of protectorate of the Mayan jungle. I brought her back with me and now she lives among my two Rhodesian Ridgebacks and German Shepherd

The TD42 has rear factory lockers. I'm aiming to put ARB air lockers up front this year.

And, lastly, re: the steering wheel, I always carry an extra one with me now since during one of my outings, the steering wheel came off. I also have a reinforced spare front steering rod that sits behind my front seat. I practically have a spare for everything for this truck and the tools required!

Mods coming up this week and in March:

1. ARB Air Lockers Front
2. Adjustable panhard rods
3. ARB knock-off intensity lights to replace the PIAA LP570s
4. New rear windows

As always, the shorty looks great man. I'd imagine that with the ARB up front, the 35s, and the ridiculously short wheelbase on that thing, there isn't a whole lot of places you won't be able to go. I'm sure the pups will be fans of those pop up rear windows, as well!

Keep the pictures coming, please.

Dropped her off for the Lockers and Panhard installation. Should be ready by mid week.

Tested out the air lockers today. Worked like a charm.

Front and rear adjustable panhards installed. Of course, had to put the new equipment through a test.

Trying out Intensity knock offs. Installation is today.

And, of course, a few shots of play from last weekend.

Even the Misses gave her a run...
