I brought this beauty home December 07’, a Christmas present to myself. I wanted to do this many years ago; rove along the rock jagged mountain, sandy hills and deep iced pack dense forest. Green gust is her name.
I begin to armor her, and that need to do some real homework otherwise I’ll burn out of cash and yet to get her ready for the off road thrill. I found a few websites, make phone call inquiries, and the sales person are very knowledgeable, and helpful, off course. I need to replace the front bumper, comparing the ARB bumper with TJM, I choose to go with TJM. However, the ARB one look really cool, but I learned that the TJM is tougher.
I bought most of the parts for the under body from www.rockware.net. I’m very happy with them. I got a pair of rock slider, pinion guard, off set tie rod, shock mount and later will add the skid plate and fuel tank shield.
The beauty needs a roof rack, and Hella lighting. I’m debating the 80” length or 50”. I’m proud of myself that I install the heated seat switches and mount the ladder myself. I realized that there will be never ending lists of parts and pieces to my rover, and this is a life time commitment, because the flare passion never fades.
