Here's my '92 XLT origionally purchased from my parents in the summer of 2000. It had 160K miles of typical commuter use and on its first trip off road I busted one of the worthless auto hubs. I think this was a sign of things to come. :banghead:
Where it all started:

The first mods were a set of manual Warn hubs and Pro Comp Light Bar, soon followed by the 1.75" lift.
Before lift:

After:

After the lift I re-geared it to 3.73's and added a Powertrax NoSlip. Then it was off to the tire store for a set of 31x10.5 Big-O XT's (not my first choice but they turned out to be a decent tire, just way over priced).
First time out after mods:

It stayed pretty much the same (except for the addition of rock sliders) until the summer of '03. Earlier that winter the electric motor on my t-case exploded and finiaized my decision to swap in a manual t-case.
