Thanks man! I shoot with a Pentax K30. The starting disco's motor blew up, warped block and a few other issues... So I swapped the good parts (axles and suspension, power steering pump, etc) into the white one which had a strong motor but a few things wrong.

Unbelievable build, unbelievable scenery, unbelievable photo quality, and unbelievably inspirational.

I was drawn to Detour's bumper that he built, however, your tube bumper looks cool, too. Loved those narrow/tall tires you borrowed from your dad. I'm hoping to go with something similar when I do my build. We have lots of mud here in Michigan, so narrow and tall would do the trick. Hoping to keep my truck close to standard height, too, since most two track/fire trails are filled with blowdowns, and getting beneath them can be challenging. Yes, a chainsaw is standard equipment for off-roading up north.

Edit: personally...I kind of like the rims silver.

Great build, thank you for sharing.

Brian.

Well its been a while... figured I'd show off the changes! Changed out the stock headlights for some I snagged off a fellow members D2, maybe a little brighter, but I like the black bezel. New lightbar cover up top to keep the popo happy. Amazon Land Rover hood lettering, and most importantly, new tires! BFG AT K02's on all corners. Had to swap in some 1.5" wheel spacers to keep them from rubbing, but they sit great. They LOVE the snow.

Tell me about this bumper. Is this something you had made or what? I'm looking for something like this.
