J made that grill for you? Holy crap, nice! I have a local fab guy - brought the headlight surrounds to him and he's VERY SLOWLY working on a set of metal surrounds; also brought the metal grill I had and trying to redesign it with a touch of OEM look to it. But if J's going to start producing these for his in house custom jobs, where do I sign=)

Love the color of yr rig, man. . .

Just the bumper. The grill is plastic aftermarket

just waiting on my third (two arrived broken) windshield and a little more Monstaliner to finish up my doors, and my resto-mod is finished!

Another R2.8 arrived.........

A few axles need rebuilding, ARB lockers and new gears in all for more coil conversions. These are all pre-cleaned and ready for inspection and reassembly.

Is there much that can be done on an R2.8 as far as increasing performance? Any numbers on what 60/62 owners running them are getting for economy? Be nice to have a motor that can still accelerate when asked to on an incline, especially if I'm towing.
