Awesome pictures. My D2 is the same color, looks great against the snow. Sounds like you're mods are following a pretty complete plan, but I have to question the water tank. Hope it's real flexible given that you live in North Dakota. That thing's going to be solid 7 months of the year.

The water tank is for my dogs up to freeze up when I am bird hunting. It gets real hot here in the fall sometimes so I need a lot of water from time to time. I drain it during the winter LOL.

So does all the oil & gas exploration lead to more "finds", or are more sensitive items being revealed and steps taken to preserve and protect them? Of course, one day Rovers will be un-earthed, a great find will be one with the sunroof intact. They are pretty rare even today....

It leads to more finds due to a greater area is being surveyed. The preservation part is also part of what I do, as part of my job is to help move the well or pipeline placement to avoid and preserve the site if possible. If not, then we must excavate and evaluate the site.

My Rover must be on the verg of being a significant artifact in that it has two functional sunroofs that work yet LOL!
