Well I planned on not buying a rig for a while, but then an opportunity came up that I couldnt let pass. I ended up picking this thing up friday evening while I was up at Rausch, so what do we do, take it straight to the trails and beat the shit out of it. Only issues I had were a sticking float in the carb, and then an fitting for the oil pressure sending unit broke, but we were able to get it all fixed and back on the trail in no time.

Specs are Toy axles, 4.56 V6 thirds locked in the rear, full cage tied into the frame, 1.3 carbed, 4.0 to 1 t-case, spring over with 33's.

Right now the plans are to just tweek the suspension, and get power steering by the EC4RJ. Im trying to keep this an extremly budget build, and only put money where I really need it, we will see how this works out.

Got the PRP's and 5 points in, ive got a power steering setup and some 34" LTBs sitting here that I will be putting on sometime next week. The only other thing I need to do is skin the top of the cage with something, that bikini top thing didnt really make it home to well.

Got the 34" LTBs bolted up today. Also took off the 1.5" wheel spacers on the rear. I still need to install the power steering system, cut down some u-bolts, and make/install new upper shock mounts front and rear. I was also checking out the doors today and I can make them work with some minor gutting/trimming, so Im going to work on that for the EC4RJ too.
