So after a slight hiccup with a JKU build I'm VERY happy to be back in the LC family....... the Heep was interesting, very capable and well supported in the aftermarket but not a daily or good for covering distance.....perhaps I made an error in going with a soft-top....as the suspension ( Metalcloak) was very nice... but the overall experience just left me lacking enthusiasm..... I bought a E63 for a daily but found logiistics and costs of two cars jsut didn't make sense.... loved that car and it's motor (460 WHP) but traded her in on the LC...
so after a few months of searching I finally found a super clean Blizzard 13' with 55k on her - local and CPO'ed, and pulled the trigger. Build plan is to be more fast and lightly armoured.... likely Supercharged, as my 100 series was - and I do like power.....
I bought a set of RW wheels from a mud member in NOLA before I'd even found a truck and am going to Pc' the rings
Ordered up some 295/70/17's Toyo RT's - I ran these in 37's on the Heep for a bit and was very impressed with how they rode but know they are heavy..... hoping to get these mounted up Wednesday and remove the running boards and do some trimming...
thanks to the folks on here and several vendors I've decided to go with a Icon / Tundra Front Arm hybrid - Stage 4+ - Carl at Just Differentials was kind enough to help assemble the parts based on his rig.... can't wait for this - so the next 2-3 weeks of waiting will be tough !
Ordering up some Parts from Slee and a few others folks - mostly cosmetic ...
pics of the 200 the day I got her - and of the old rides she replaces
