kaney's 2001 Limited Build

[kaney]

Well just a bit of back ground... I have had this truck for about 2 years, It has treated me awesome! It used to be my tow wagon for my old hilux till I sold it. After dabling in a few other past times i ended back offroading.
So far I have spent the money and not much has arrived so this thread will start a bit slow....


These arrived yesterday... (sorry is a iPhone camera till my camera is fixed)
33x12.5x15 Maxxis Bighorns

sharp price kaney .....

[KiwiMark]

it is a sharp price snorkle. However, theres a difference under the bonnet for the early LTDs compared to the Sport with the ABS and water reservior placements, dunno weather it carried through to the later LTD's. I had to shuffle things about under my 93 LTD to get the snork to plumb in properly. Still, for 2fiddy its worth a bit of a shagging about

[kaney]

have spent enough on it at the moment, will see if its still there in a couple of weeks, but i do like the look of a custom bent metal one.

[KiwiMark]

clevis pins and r-clips are on their way bud. (youll need some washers) sorry for the delay.

[XJ4IV]

I really like your jeep man... I kinda want a looker jeep now... not to replace my wheeler but to get looked at while cruising around town

[bluedragon436]

Looks good... I would have contacted RC and had them send you the rear springs like you ordered and paid for... install the AAL since you have already waited this long... and then you have the actual springs to install when/if the AAL starts to sag any..
