the rack and light boxes are fine, but the storage boxes do change the fuel efficiency! i'd like to make a bit more rounded and ducked boxes to help that. but i do need the storage space...
there's always a compromise

 

[XXXpedition]

just a teaser: i need a couple of other things to make that mod

well, got word a little bit ago!!!
wednesday it might get serious...

they are from a local store here in munich, germany. they are used and were for destilled water. they were just a few bucks each...

hooray! looking forward to seeing those bad boys on the rig!

You're joking of course....those aren't really your tires and wheels? 2 yrs!!!! Amazing how one country could make something so easy so hard! And the winters suck on top of that! Tell me again why you're there.:coffeedrink:

 

[XXXpedition]

well, yes, they're actually my tires and they are approved. with enough money i could have done it earlier, but it would have cost me tripple that. this way i like it way more. that works with my budget...




better pics to come sometime... :elkgrin:

 

[bobDog]

Well now! That looks GOOD!:victory:

 

[brushogger]

Looks quite studly i must say! Congratulations on your win in the fight with the bureaucrats. That took a great deal of perseverance.

 

[XXXpedition]

thx, thx.
and best of all:
25 mpg at 65 mph
23 mpg at 75 mph (but then it drops quite a bit...)

i love the diesel engine with 360 lbs torque!!!

(guess before you scroll down)

XXX - RATED :victory::victory::victory:

My being a total XJ freak....Its quite a step for me to say this but....you are 'somewhat' approaching the coolness of your last rig. Not yet mind you but getting closer. Now throw that rack on there.....go somewhere and take some photos that show us how that honey looks.....:wings: easy for me to say, huh?:sombrero:

 

[bobDog]

O yeah....promise me when you're finished trashing it you won't sell it to someone who makes a trailer out of it.......
