No air conditioning, or second tank. I was going to add the second tank at some point later on but I don't know about the air, only need it one or two days a year in Alberta.

hi,
thumbs up for a great job! seeing someone driving a mint 79series around would make everyone droooool! looking for a box for my 89bj75, any source to finding one?

 

[sitkocreek]

Finished up last spring and have been driving it only a little this summer, theres been to much rain and I don't want to get it dirty......

Only thing left to do is install mud flaps and a stock snorkel.

Tires are BFG 235 85R16 mud-terrain.

While I was in Africa this spring I took pictures and measurements of a 2010 '79 rear bumper and had my fabricator copy it. I powder coated it to match the front ARB.

My main goal of the restoration was to keep everything as close to stock as possible.
