I have been slack in my moderating duties, so I guess it time to put this out to the 45 guys(&gals?) and see if folks want their rig/build threads setup as a rotating Rig Of The Month??? Between Buckroseau's 2 and a few others I am sure we can get a good list started...

Sign up here, and I will tally a list. First Come First Served.

Here's the deal: Everyone likes pictures of progress and projects. Be sure to include some before during and after shots. Basic details are required, and of course be sure to include tricks, tips, lessons, etc.

Since the swb has been 'done' for a long time, you can put me at the head of the line.:D
 
I'll do August. Snow should be melted by then.
 
You can put me down....

I'll put my '84 Troopie HJ47 in for a truck of the month spot if I can. I have owned her since Oct. 1996. I brought her to the US in 1997, and have since made many improvements to her. I had her turbo-charged in Melbourne, but eventually put in a brand new Vortec 350 in 2000. The engine runs the factory power steering and air con from the Chevy compressors, and sits in front of the factory H55F 5 speed and a transfer case from a 1987 60 series with the 32mm idler shaft. I have 52 gallons of fuel and 10 gallons of water on board, and a 1200 watt power inverter, fridge, sink and storage. The seats are out of a 1995 SR5 4 Runner, and she has OME 2.5" springs. I put 3.73 gears in her in 1999, and she goes 80 MPH at 2700 RPM. On the freeway, with the cruise control set at 80 and the air con on, I average 21.5 MPG- which is about what I got with the turbo-charged 2H. I hope you enjoy looking at the photos!

Cheers,

Actually, the mirrors are from a J**p Dangler. :rolleyes: I put TLCA stickers over the J**P stencil, but otherwise they are great. I bought the right one in the US, as it is convex for distence on the passenger side, and I bought the left on in Australia, as is it also convex for distence on the passenger side. They don't vibrate, they cover a nice-sized area, and they are cheap to replace.

Cheers,

Josh

Throw me in the mix as well. It looks like September is still open? That would work for me and it's the month of my birthday.

Now..... which 45 should I post up first?
 
We need to make the ROTM a sticky for the month we are featuring it like in the other sections of 'mud.
