Nice! I called up the other day to verify I was on the list for a dash and I was not! But the lady found an opening in the 400's so she bumped me up to that spot for a new dash.
Outpost Offroad Sliders from MetalTech 4x4. Installed by our good friends at Sierra Expeditions. Thanks to Will and Kyle! They provide exceptional support to the community here in Phoenix!
Since people seem to like this post I figure I will share my Google Map I made and some drone footage one of the guys took.

Yeah, that was time for the built rigs to show off. Myself and the two stock 80's just cruised down the easy side of the drop off. In due time, I have had my fun and now it's fun showing these trails to my little 3yo girl and to some off-road rookies.
Did the recall for air bag and they ordered the dashboard for replacement.

It's pretty awesome, I think. Makes my Waze navigation play over the speakers, lowering the volume of my Spotify music when she needs to give me updated directions, the next turn, whatever.
One note on the install: The wiring harness has a female plug to plug the factory CD changer into when you remove it from the back of the nav unit.
Don't use it. If you use it you'll get an error about there not being a CD or something. The instructions made it sound like if you had nav you needed to use it, but you don't. It won't work.
New bumper and rear spoiler installed by body shop. Mechanic looking for rubber seals to fill the gap and new CV boots and complete fluid change. How are you guys mounting the license plate? I am thinking of using Euro plates holder to mount on existing holes on ARB. Trying to avoid drilling holes just to mount them and no plans to install a winch yet
Replaced the passenger side exhaust manifold and catalytic converter. Figured out the intermittent CEL finally... the old Cat was cracked and leaking slightly.
Installed Rad Rubber engine splash guards on my 470. Great product. Cheap, quick, and easy upgrade. Found them on the GXOR FB page. Buy them if you haven't already!

For the fender cut I went to home depot and used the garage door stick on seal, the small tear dropped kind, it makes it look really clean. Check my build thread for pics but I learned later to cut more than you need so you can stick it back under the fender flare. For the license plate Im still working on a solution. Let me know what you end up doing.
Just got some new rubber. General Grabber AT 2's. From what I've read, and feedback from the Expidition Overland guys, one of the best AT for the money.
Metal-Tech bumper on, only difficult part was drilling the extra hole for bolting into final position. Very happy with the fit and finish. Got some cheapo spot lights from Amazon, will see how they hold up, wired them into the original connectors, can control like factory fog lights.
Finally did the trim mod in front of sliders. Decided to cut the whole length, definitely gives a much cleaner look, much easier to do than I thought it would be.

@carmad do you have a couple shots of your rig from the side. I'm more than likely going with the same lift and i'm debating tire size. Interested in seeing the profile of yours. Blizzard Pearl?

Just ordered 7 Quarts of Amsoil 75W-90 Severe Gear ($123.66) and all the gaskets ($19.50) for Front/Rear Diff Fluid Change and Transfer Case Fluid Change. Fun stuff!
