She looks much better right now in my opinion. Cant wait to powdercoat the push bar!!!

If anyone is interested the stock chromed wheels and Bridgestone Dualer 245/70/16s with about 75% tread left are for sale. let em go for 850. Seperate 350 for wheels and 550 for tires.

Looks good! Keep up the good work!
I am in the market for tires but I can get them cheaper through
my industry discount.

I noticed you have alot of Colorado stickers on your rover.
Do you live in Colorado or AZ?
I only ask as I am always looking for fellow rovers to run
trails with.

It looks naked without your push bar on.

I see you removed your lower bumper also, why not put the end caps back on? your push bar protects them right? And what is that push bar, custom? I kinda like it, it gives you a little more protection without adding a 300 pound bumper.

I like that push bar too. But I think I would find some matching stock and weld a grill guard area on with some protection for the lights. Save yourself some weight and a whole lot of money. And I would have gone for a rhino-line (or equivalent) instead of the powder coat but that's just me. Looks great so far.

Check them out:

I am planning on going on their Aug 28 run.
I love the Conifer area, we are planning on moving up
there in the next few years. If you need any help,
I am a Audi tech and know my way around rovers as well.
