Felt compelled to use both “tantric” and “happy ending”, cause, you know . . . Get back to work!

More moar. . . . got to be something good going on. . . I'm fine with the tantric quality of the build, but looking forward to the happy ending. . .

My brother lived at the base of Schweitzer Mountain for a few years, Sandpoint was a cool town to visit, and pricey nearly 20 years ago - - can’t imagine the prices now… Awesome work as always - - you can rush paint, you just can’t rush good paint. Thanks for the update.

Dammit ! ! ! ! Or, at your convenience, any updates would be greatly appreciated. . .

Guilty as charged. . .

. . . and made it a two-door (windows). . . . . . that plate surround is from the old B3, circa 2010 or so. . . , it migrated with the other cool stuff onto this rig. Actually had to shorten the unit to get it to fit within the frenched-in box for the license plate, but works for me. . .

So, while not an upgrade, I've been looking forward to this for a few years now. . . (Collector Vehicle Plate) . . . Delayed as I would have put these on the 1991 Explorer (B3) if it was still with us, as it takes 30 years to pass in order to obtain these here in Washington (this rig is a...

Awesome work! Welcome back (for us non-Facebook types. . .). Paul

Still have a project on the work bench, but a few of the regulars wanted a snow ran, so about a dozen (just too damn many!) rigs showed for a run around the Greenwater area here in the PNW. Not much snow for us this year, so hard to get really stuck, but a few of us found a way. . . Line Up...

Sent a PM to DVD, so we can end this thread hi-jack. . . People want to see progress on Jeremy's Ranger, not this side-bar stuff.

Got a set . . . . . . but unless you’re local, can’t see how you’d be willing to pay for shipping from the Pacific Northwest. Paul

Any updates? Enjoy your posts and videos, plus the rig is bad-ass, - - the “No-Door”, not so much….

Hate the idea of working on rig projects (or any project), and then not taking the vehicle out to enjoy the efforts of the labor. Not that the skid plate was a major effort, but the Ham took some time, so decided to go out and find some snow, which is late for us at elevation here in the PNW...

So the Ham install was a project, and I've got a few others in the works, but had some time between motorcycle tasks so knocked out a few "not so much" projects today. . . Kind of beat up my James Duff skid plate in Moab this past May - - not too bad, but dinged up the corners and scuffed it up...

At my pace, I’ll get them sorted sometime before 2025. . .

Like most things, a compromise. . . Can I fold the seats down ? Sure, just pop out the Hi-Lift. Not that it matters much, the drawer system and headache rack eliminate the ability to haul most large things anyway - - that’s why I have the Ranger. . . Want the Hi-Lift for four wheeling...

Okay, buttoning this project up. . . Inexpensive external speaker to aid "those hearing impaired..." wedged under the rear passenger seats: Snugs in well behind the High-Lift . . . Here's the end result of the head unit in the ****pit (aka driver's area): Wide view: Glad to finally get...

Like the mic bracket @RockRanger, would like to see a close up of that - - was considering magnets for the hand mics. Today's effort (before the tryptophan kicked in). . . Main unit tucked into the void behind the Outback Solutions (ARB) storage drawers and behind the rear seats near the...

Okay, one of the projects: Hard-wiring a mobile Ham radio into the rig - - obtained my Ham License two years ago, but settled for a Handie-Talkie since then, which is less than optimal for on trail communications. Part of the reason for the delay was the fact that I wrestled with the mounting...

Too long since last post. . . Hung all the decent pics from Moab on the Moab thread back in May and the rig has sat up at work since early June. Brought the rig back home as we get into winter for snow runs here in the Cascades. Tomorrow's the anniversary (fourth) of Phil's passing, and we've...

All good, not doubting your judgement - - we can't save them all. . .

Like all the work, and love these threads about keeping these rigs on the road - - but personally would not have let this one go. . . . . . even if you enjoy destroying ants. Biased to 1st Gens, so the one you kept must be mint! Paul

Interested . . . are you including the Steens and Owyhee? Here's my 94 'Sport' Paul

Great job, really well done. For sound-deadening I’ve used the heavier gauge Kilmat stuff - - and really no noticeable change in sound from what I could tell (but went from stock to lifted with 33” Mud Terrains during the install). And it adds weight… Best of luck though…

I want a panoramic picture of the 410 RBV Salvage, er. . . Salvation Yard. . . RBVs as far as the eye can see, I'm guessing.
