So, now you have the spare on back, you thinking about an aux fuel tank? LRA makes a nice kit as below.
Just the thing for those long drives in the desert.

Looks cool but outside of my budget. I'll just carry some extra jerry cans.
Good plan!

Couple little things going on next weekend. RAM cellphone mount and I'll be trying my hand at vinyl wrapping the chrome bits on my LC (excluding the grill).

I also replaced all the interior lights with LED bulbs.

Has anyone gotten this to work in the states with the 5.6 and all the emissions/evaporative crap?

Beat me to it!
Both LRA and Long Ranger require some mods as described above - great thread!
So then you get to do totally illegal stuff in other countries and simply state "Diplomatic Immunity" when the local police show up, right?
I'm struggling to remember what movie that was from......

Lethal Weapon 2?
I was thinking "Spies Like Us", no?

Unfortunately true diplomatic immunity only applies to heads of departments, the ambo, and DCM. The rest of us embassy worker bees get pseudo immunity I guess. For example, in Norway I would still get pulled over for traffic violations and had to pay fines.
There is a huge difference between Living in a wealthy first world country and living in a poor third world country. In third world countries diplomats sometimes have a little privilege. Cops will not so often hassle us for bribes and in Islamic countries US diplomats can still drink booze or practice their own religion (in the privacy of their home).
So unfortunately no, I do not have a 007 license to kill... but I may be 1 of only a few people in Nouakchott home brewing up some tasty beers or listening to 666 The Number of the Beast.

(Forgive the Semi colons several of my keys are not working on my laptop). Have made some good progress with the Cruiser since my last post. I now have a Prinsu rack; blacked out hood; blacked out all the chrome; back up lights; ARB compressor. Next week I'm having sliders welded on; and a 40" light bar mounted to the roof rack; and will install side lights.

@odinskind - The build is looking great!
Question for you...Why are the front rim rings painted and the rears not? Are you seeing if you are digging the contrast in the rings?
Cheers,
Chris

Ha ha good catch. Actually the first 4 RW rings where powder coated black by the original owner. Then I bought two more off eBay that had chrome rings. I attempted to take off the chrome rings to have them powder coated but broke 2 hex wrenches so I stopped trying to take them off because I didn't want to strip out the bolts holding the rings on. So now I'll periodically have different colored rings when I rotate the wheels.
