Finally get to post a build thread. After 4 years of being my wife's DD she has moved to a mini van and I get to play with the LX. I have read many build/tech threads on Mud over the years and they have all had great info and insight so Thanks to all that take the time to post them.
Uses:
I think this should be the first question to any build - what is your intended use. Mine will ultimately be an expedition vehicle used for exploration/camping/offroading with 2 adults and 3 children. It will see moderate offroad trails several times a year. I may end up pulling a small expo trailer or pop up. It is not my DD.
