Looks a little different to what it did a few months ago. '95 v8i ES now sporting:

- 3" lift
- 16" x 8" Rockcrawler rims
- 255/85/R16 Maxxis Bighorns (33")
- chopped guards & 50mm flares
- 2.5" exhaust & deleted rear muffler
- QT front diff guard
- ARB non-winch bar
- Lightforce Blitz 240 driving lights
- Uniden UHF radio
- Alpine head unit & Kenwood speakers
- flipped radius arm bushes
- removed swaybars
- roof rack & bag that it wears on trips

(new starter, new water pump, new alternator, new front propshaft, etc)

Did all the work for it myself.

Next?

- tint windows
- Scorcher ignition
- rear locker
- modify front bar to accept winch
- beef up cooling system (incl. trans & oil)
- D2 headlights
- rear diff guard
- custom sliders
- valley gasket, rocker cover gaskets, etc

Very nice trucks!
Yesterday I wanted to share two videos from our last Disco-trip here in Argentina, but I´m afraid the correct place to do it isn´t visited too much, haha!
Here is the post in the international trip report section: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/internatio...argentina.html

Regards
