Modifications
I will continue to update this page as I do more and get more pictures.
The first Modifications I made were to add a full size spare tire swing and a receiver bumper from James Duff. I really like this set up because it doesn't hurt my departure angle and I am still able to pull a trailer or use a winch receiver plate in the back. These are about the only pictures I have of it at that point. It was at this point that I realized I needed lockers...!

Next, I went ahead and got a front receiver bumper from James Duff to match the rear. At the same time I added a Billet Grill and a full size spare.

Next I got some Hella 500 lights and a Yakima Loadwarrior Basket. I didn't have the factory luggage rack on top, so I found one in a local junk yard, drilled holes in the roof, and mounted it. Maybe someday I'll add some lights to the front and rear of the basket. Here she is all shined up in the driveway.

This was a weekend in the Mountains. I blew a transmission line and I had to have it towed home. I don't think it got fixed right, and I think that led to my Overdrive going out later...

After the transmission went out I put in the 1997 5.0L V8 and AODE transmission. As soon as that was done it had plenty of power to turn bigger 33's. I thought they were big compared to the 31's, but now I just want 37's!

Thanks Rico! Actually just yesterday I was down in Moab and got my first taste of body damage. Unfortunately I ripped off a rear Bushwacker flare on Behind The Rocks trail! Hopefully a little paint work and a new flare will get 'er fixed right.
