They sure do! i need to get some pictures up, got the new LEd lights and they made a world of a difference.

I also picked up some sliders and realized i had an HD pan hard that i need to install as well.

Ive been busy, i got the new 9 inch LED lights to replace the halogens on the roof rack and front bumper. (The lights were ordered from Amazon and give amazing performance for the price.)

I cut out an area on the front bumper to better fit the winch engage or disengage selector, then installed the rock sliders i purchased used.

Here are some pics!




New lights!

Update on Betty.
*Edit* before the trip i replaced the stock panhard with an adjustable HD one with new bushings.

We went out to the Texas Rovers Chili cook off at Barnwell and had an amazing time camping and going off road...

All until one of the rear watts link tabs broke the weld then the other tab broke the weld..

Good times to say the least, i removed the linkage and was able to get the rover on a trailer and get it welded up locally.

Next big update will be the rear panhard for sure.
