1994 LC "Elsie" Expedition build

[jdeitch]

After much effort I'm finally ready to post some pics of "Elsie". I have done much and there is still plenty more to do. Check my various other threads for build details. We are planning to REALLY take some serious adventures in this rig.

Looks nice. How big is that tent? It looks really small.

Crap... Typo in this thread title. Is there any way to correct it?

Thanks. So much still to do. I have stuff sitting around waiting for me to find the time to install

Used Kaymar rear bumper installed.

Added flood light mounts to my custom roof rack. Flood light mounts use RAM 1" ball system components. Getting closer.

 

[jdeitch]

Added custom mounts for my Maxtrax traction plates. Spoiler design really helps with airflow!

Jeff your rig has come a long way since u got it.....Keep the pictures coming and the good work!

 

[jdeitch]

Started customizing the Kaymar rear bumper. Fabbed up box to carry Kolpin jugs. More to come.

Is your right rear tailight covered by the spare?

Nice build! I have almost the exact same truck. I have 94 single stage white w/ARB in the front and Kaymar in the rear. I dont have the swingouts for mine though. Which was cool with me because I do not like the stock ones. Apparently you didn't either

I like what you did with those sand ladders. I have been thinking about making some type of air spoiler for my RTT to help get just a little better MPG while it's up there. This idea kind of accomplishes that.

They really work too. I had a strange "turbine engine" sound that was caused by air rushing over LED light bar above the windshield. After mounting the MaxTrax the noise is gone. Airflow improved!

I got the roof rack back from powder coat yesterday.

As always, great work.
