Working on it now...I'm looking at building a large skid plate that will cover most of the area between the front radius arm bolts and the rear control arm bolts.

very cool. I was going to go to a local fab shop and see how much of a full belly skid they could make. If it's too expensive i like the iron pig skid.

I'm painting the rings black, I'm afraid someone will think I'm a UT(Vols) fan or something.

I got the Iroks (39.5X13.50X17) on, the orange off, and the fender flares trimed, I really like the way it feels now.

I don't think I'll waste the axles on that project, it's just too much $ just to have rear steer.

Just looking at the park brake on the back of the tranfer case. Does anyone over in the US of A make these to suit a LC and do they ship to Australia. My park brake is next to useless and have been trying to find a solution.

Thanks

I'm anxious to hear of your comparison of the Iroks to the Boggers on the same trails.

Betcha the Iroks rule the day.

Yes, I have to say the Iroks perform much better than the Boggers.
