Very nice!
I see what you were saying in the other thread - it looks fantastic and functional without being overdone.
That color is amazing as well.

Sheesh no, it's too stinking cold up this way. She's got a long way to go yet.I got 3 shocks in after realizing the last set had been on for 5 years and are about toast. New brakes front and rear are in the garage, inner axle seals need replacing (I knew they were leaking and have just kinda been watching it), the soft top needs replacing, bow supports are rotted out on one side so those are going to be replaced soon, new bumpstops added f&r,.....the list goes on and on, yet none of them make it look more extreme.

Wheeling at Uwharrie National Forest today (April 26).....lightly, momentarily, taking a break.....stuck.
