Not sure if anyone mentioned it or not, but I can't imagine going anywhere without a set of rear cargo drawers. I've had a set for about a year and a half and love them. Probably the best mod to my 80 so far. Picked them up from Mr. Slee....

That 105 has a solid axle in the front doesnt it?
dmc said:Thanks Jim. Now I have to go back into the roofrack vs. trailer thread and change my vote. But that is a good idea. For me I'd have to make a large psychological shift to a trailer but I'm beginning to see the positive aspects of it.dmc
Bongani said:Yea, with the solid front axle I feel more at home here with you 80 series guys.

Shahram said:I have a bit of a different approach.
1. Find a reliable Cruiser (reliability), maintain lovingly
2. With lockers (traction)
3. BFG AT/KO's, largest for stock height (keep fuel efficiency, don't change gear ratios, no lift needed, greatly increases traction, not odd sized)
4. Increase approach/departure angles and clearance by removing/moving/and at last resort, adding or replacing things (ARB bumper, Kaymar tire carrier, remove plastic/sidesteps/hitch receiver, turn cats)
Future mods will include a snorkel to minimize the effect of dust on the engine (reliability), minimal roof rack, better and lighter camping gear, long range gas tank, better shocks, some light skid plating, etc.
