That ought to make it get out of its own way....

Nice. Even though I'm a died-in-the-wool anti-GM guy I'd gladly drop an LS into my RRC if it wasn't such a logistical nightmare to deal with CA smog.
thanks !

Beautiful.
Did you buy it from someone who did the refurb or what was the process of getting it into this condition?
Got any interior images?
Thanks !
Thank you !
The exterior is mostly original (chassis, bulkhead, bumpers, body, doors, glass and paint). Sliders, roof rack and roof lights were added. Headlights, marker lights, brake lights, spare tire carrier, wheels, tires, shocks and springs were replaced, as were the bushings. And now that I think about it, the 5-bar on the wings was originally silver instead of the current black. And the grill was replaced with a unit from SDO. And I replaced a lot of bolts with stainless steel. And added a new hitch mount. So, not completely original, but close.
The interior is original, except for the addition of a MudUK dash mount, MudUKrear door card, and loadspace seat belts. And the addition of aftermarket AC. And some rubber matting from Tractor Supply.
Mechanically, the t-case is original; the motor and tranny were replaced. Diffs and power steering are original. Brakes are original (disk front, drum rear), but pads and master cylinder were replaced.
I bought it in original condition from the importer, drove it for a short while, and then had Safari HP do the bulk of the refurb. Since then, I just get to things when time and money allow.

Is that the Baja EXPedition Rack with the flat back section and if so how do you like it?
Thanks!
