Sweet ride.

What was your reason for going with SPC UCAs instead of Dobinsons?

Ive had real good experience with SPC. Theyve been on the last 3 vehicles Ive owned. I like that theres more adjustability in them over the Dobinsons. Being able to move the wheel in any direction is a plus for me. Mainly away from the body mounts. I plan on trying to fit a bigger tire.

Going for more of a cockpit feel.

Very nice. I went with blue all around.

Hello all. Im still here but its been kind of slow with the rig. I recently swapped roof racks for a Prinsu. Im loving the full-length, lighter weight, and lower profile of it. I sold the Rig'd to help fund some armor all around.

Running spcs here… they allow for more alignment adjustment beyond what the dobinsons provide which is fixed.

I just noticed this '12 Premium Fire Agate Pearl model on auction site out of Eugene, OR. This is from a couple days ago.

Ouch! That thing took a beating.

Looks like it kept driver safe though

Tree impact? Looks like a cylindrical object slightly off center in the front. Maybe the front or rear of a large elk?

Whatever it was, it happened at almost full speed from the looks of that bumper. Looks like Ironman, TMJ or ARB? IF one of those bumpers, those are VERY stout bumpers!
Hate to see what it would have looked like with only a stock front end.

 

[Bang Bang]

That's an Ironman. And I was glad to see how well it protected the cabin.

 

[MrTorgue]

Lots of usable interior bits. I’d love to get a hold of the modules on the shifter plate or the plate itself.

Auction data said it still fired up and idled too.. obviously wouldn't want to for very long with radiator taken out though. I'm kinda floored when I look at auctions how many wrecked Fire Agate Pearl Models there are considering how rare the color is.

Ok....

 

[Seanzky]

People would go for the hitch and the wheels, I'm sure. Someone would even rebuild that as a crawler, probably... like totally gut the thing.

Ok....

Looks like it's hard to control all the power from that 6.4l engine.

In lieu of the recked rig posted above I will be happy to say that Ive been busy armoring up my rig. Installed front and rear Coastal Offroad bumpers and some RCI sliders as well as the Ronin Metal ditch light brackets and Rigid Ignites on them. I still need to install the winch to really put those front coilovers to the test.
