Looking good! My moding is done for the season, after a few sets of tires, haha. Thanks for the heads up on the low pro light bar. I wanted to put Hella 4000 up there and I think that would be too much for the two bolts holding it down.
I know you are thinking about the Bilstein for shocks and I love mine, they better than the stock and the Ranchos. There is the OME option with the Navara shocks not listed on the N. American ARB website, part numbers "OME Shocks Front N58 Rear N59" and you were happy with OME on you Land Rover.
I hear you on the AC shipping, take your high shipping and multiply it by 3 for Alaska. The only things I've ordered so far from them were the Energy bushings for my rear springs and the HD TR adjusters. Both times the shipping was more than the product. I want there extended brake lines also but I keep putting it off hoping someone other than AC will carry them.
Thanks!
Yeah, the low pro bar isn't mounted quite as solid as I'd like. It works, and my lights are pretty big and heavy. It does seem to hold up pretty well, even after long runs down the highway and bouncing over rough trails. But for my money it's too much a hassle to make it work. I could've had a friend build one better for less money.
Ahhhh, now you've made that decision more complicated! Haha. I've had Rancho shocks on previous rigs, and they don't hold up as well as Bilstein or OME. I really
love OME's stuff. After some searching, I found I can buy those from either AC or Rugged Rocks. I'd probably buy from RR. Thing is though, I'm not sure how much longer the OME shocks are than the stock shocks. I need ones that are 2"-3" longer. I know I can get Bilstein 5100's that are 3" longer from AC. And the Bilsteins set would be $156 vs $187 for the OME. I'll have to ask around about the OME shocks. Decisions decisions...
Yikes, that's pretty harsh. When I ordered my springs, steering kit, and HD TR adjusters, the shipping was unbelievable. I know springs are heavy, but it cost $140 for UPS GROUND! Absurd. I don't blame you for holding out. Prices like this are pretty nuts.
On an unrelated note, I discovered a couple of things today. #1, the D22 is still being made in the rest of the world (at least you can get a brand new one in Australia!):

I thought that was pretty cool. You can even select factory options like a bull bar (looks almost identical to a TJM bumper), that gorgeous Nissan snorkel, and a WARN 9k winch. Just about everything there makes me jealous. The new ones have a really nice updated interior too. And #2, I found some pictures that are making me really happy about my choice of bumper and snorkel
