Well the sickness started in Novermber of 2003, don't have any digital pics from then.(Had the roofrack in the first hour of owning, consider it essential..not a mod), and a few others have been left out
First mod was a 2" OME lift and 235/85 - 16 tires, this served great for years
Then as I started to do harder trails I bent my factory tie rod bar and stabilizer, off to Rockware I went(not pictures is the relocate kit)

WOW! Nice ride with LOTS of work done! Amazing how well everything performs together once it is all done! Makes for a nice combo.

Oh, you're never done! That would be too much! LOL.
Nice rig! I'm a sucker for a nice Rover. Saw a really nicely built white Defender 110 on the Hwy the other day and nearly drove off the road. That is my dream wheeler!

I think that if you have a set agenda from the start then you can basically get "done". My 87 4Runner is my "trek" vehicle. I had a definate agenda from the start. I tinker with it some now, but really it is basically just how I want it. I didn't go bonkers with anything on it and like the basic reliability of the stock drivetrain. Only thing I haven't gotten to and will still do is a dual t-case. I just remember the vehicles I have had in the past and how I had no agenda really except to make them better. Those projects never really ended!

It has certainly come a long way! Amazing when you look back. Of course the list of things to do always seems to grow.

Looking good! I finally looked at this thread and was wondering what the cylinders were by the back seat. I thought that it was some sort of alien sex toy (which, I guess, shows how my mind works), then I wondered what you were doing combining a sex toy with wheeling and then posting pictures of it. My mind finally turned the corner and I realized that they were remote shock reservoirs....
