That first trailer tho! *wolf whistle*

No more grey Meep Meep. Orange with black offsets. This was a heckuva project this weekend, but sooooo worth it. @Bubbli was such a huge help I couldn't have done it without her on such a short timeline.

Next thing on the list will be custom front and rear bumpers. Just need to find a supplier for argon for my TIG machine and work will get started on those. will upload pics all along the way.

Old top-hat and carb just came out. Swapped for a Weber 32/36.

1) Body lift 1'ish inch will do a world of good for tire clearance, no matter what you do suspension lift wise. I didn't at first and ended up flubbing my fenders. This was with 35s on 15s which I simply loved

We had to buy 4 new tires just to get the darn thing home so lift will be a future upgrade (not going to lift and keep it on 235s, but also not going to replace brand new tires on it either.) Also a SoA will bump me up about 5" (if i get new leafs on it) dont really feel i would need to go much higher than that for now.

And if you want I can give you my sticker guys contact info, he can make you a REMNANTS OF HOPE sticker that would be perfect across the top of that windscreen

Bubbli and I own our own business doing just that (plus a whole bunch of other things), but I do thank you for offering your sticker guy  

As for the other advice I really appreciate it. the "rhino lining" is just a blanket statement. there is actually spray on bedliner in a can that I was planning to do myself it has been recommended to me quite frequently among other forums/rl friends

Glad to be here! This is Hobbs our new "Meep Meep" as the kids have been calling it. I have a bunch of plans for the monster

Starting point:

4.2 (258) I6

BA-10 5 speed (bleh)

No lift. 

235/75/15s

Near future plans:

New carb (already on the way)

SoA lift (will fab most parts myself except for the tranfer case slip sleeve)

New bumpers (custom fabbed by myself)

Sand blasting and paint (Orange body, Black top/trim)

Ripping up the interior carpet and Rhino Lining.

33" tires which will probably be the nail in the coffin for that poor poor tranny.

Winch (looking at the 12,000lb badlands, I hate harbor freight but everything that I have seen recently says that is actually a great winch).

Far Future plans:

1.9L TDI diesel swap from 03-06 VW (jetta/gulf) oooooorrr, a 4bt from cummins.

dana 44s (maybe 60s?) pnematic lockers, onboard air compressor for lockers and re inflating tires after wheeling.

Custom built drawers in rear for extra parts etc.
