    Welcome to the woodgrain wheelers club!

    Get some factory side skirts and trim them to fill in the gap above the sliders.

    Well, there goes my chances of ever being able to afford a gx470. The EAF club already raised the price of them. Now I have to deal with the popularity after everybody finds out gramps has one.:annoyed:

    Probably gonna get custom sliders built that will be a bit closer to the body instead. These don't quite go full length.

    This needs to be a "sleeper" rig. It will not be getting insanely built.

    You should get a fun DD, and build an awesome 1st gen, instead of getting that soccer mom Lexus. :stirthepot: Best of both worlds.

    Gonna have to change the name of this thread now. Not sure what yet. But here are a couple pics of Agnus to keep this thread alive. Got her dirty on Sunday. Tried everything out to see how it does. The V8 is a beast. I do like that. @Toytec Lifts gave me a great start on this new project. As soon as the truck sells got a short list of things to get done. Starting the drawer/sleeping platform this weekend. But after that:

    • ComeUp 9.5 winch
    • Dual battery system
    • Some sort of switch system - not sure yet which one.
    • Hefty Fabwork sliders - ordered and in the build process
    • New HAM Radio/antenna
    • Roof Rack
    • Miscellaneous little things
