Yeah, it's on my list of things to do, but way down at the moment.

I got a smoking deal on a used Safety Devices rack, so here's the result:

Ditching the cheap Hella's in favor of some Ralleye 4000's soon.

Looks sweet as hell. What roof rack and bumper do you have on there?

It's a Safety Devices rack. Traded a fellow owner for a 3" TF lift installed on his truck.

A few updates here! The stock driveshaft of course gave up, lasted only 1k miles after the 3" lift:

...so I picked up the Lucky 8 DS and all is right in the world.

Then I snagged a new set of Hella Rallye 4000's and had my tech install them. A roof rack helps here!

And the result. Notice that I ditched theskinny 235's for beffier 265/75/16's, looks much better IMO and should handle better off road.

The truck is really looking great! Good call with the lights and tires.

OMG did you get lucky with the front drive shaft... that could have ended badly. That's like go buy a lottery ticket lucky.
In keeping with what a deal this truck has been for you, if you need a rear drive shaft this is a steal > https://landroverforums.com/forum/pr...21/#post611928

Thanks! Yeah, it was squealing for a week or so. Glad I caught it when I did!
