I believe Troy ordered that trim package from an aftermarket company who offered that color as an option.

i guess it looks okay. I think some chrome tail light guards would make it about a 6 :wink:

Maybe some 24" chrome spinners too.

for s&g if you know anyone with some 24's with same bolt pattern throw em' on, might look good with knobbys

No 24" rims :evil:

Might be going to 17" rims but that is the only diameter for the double internal beadlock rims I want(and the right BP) is offered in,probably will go to 37" tires also for more sidewall.

That's what you call and Atlas.. that thing shoudl be able to just creep along with all that gearing and OD.
Man, If I was your neighbor, I would be at your garage all the time, that thing is looking super tough.

I didnt know that the atlas was one of those T-cases thank you very much! :lol:

i think my range rover had an atlas...i was able to drop into 4-lo and it would just climb, and you needed to jam the brake so it would not budge, but it pulls hard

Not unless you added it,the Atlas does not come stock in any vehicle and you'd know if you have it since the twin sticks are the only way to shift it unless you get the 4-speed Atlas which you have 3 shifters.

I would like to make a prediction. I predict that Troy’s next project will be an engine swap that will be installed and completed by 05/2011.

tumanator · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:12 am

05/2011....... 18 months from now to completion..... i say all R&D done and parts ordered/ in the garage/ and plans drawn up by 05/2011. Just remember you need it done by 21 Dec, 2012 :roll:

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 2:42 pm

He's been driving it all week. He got the rear DS installed Tuesday, alignment Wednesday, exhaust done Thursday. Have pictures but haven't had a chance to update the build page yet. Next week making a steering box brace and finish the belly pan, front driveshaft should be here by end of the week, Tuesday going to flex it out to finish measuring for front bumpstops, shocks and limit straps. The belly pan is going to be sick. :twisted:
