Nice! Any modifications you're planning right away?

For right now, I'm just kind of driving it. When I have more time (and money!) in the fall, I plan on a lift and tires. More long term, lockers, an engine swap, other gear, etc. there's a ton think about!

Did the White Rim in July heat. Whew! Had the place to ourselves for 3 days. Also drove to 10,400 ft in the La Sals on a fairly rough and narrow trail with a fully loaded Cruiser. No problem for it. Kinda felt dumb to get to the summit and find a very nice dirt road to the same spot. :meh:

Nice. Odds are I will have to do the trail in the summer as well if I want to bring the family. Did you run it with AC or windows down? I usually run windows down when wheeling but I imagine it would be AC on with the family.
 
Ridgemaster - Wow, great scenery. One of these days, I'm going to head west with my cruiser and get to enjoy some of these places. Need to come up with a top-10 and nail them all in 1 trip.
 
Sorry, I guess I am not as vertically challenged..... I had to chuckle 'cause that's what I thought was going on there.... :D

Its tack welded on at the moment, i need to decide if I'm just gonna weld it on the frame, or try to make it a "bolt on".

We "mostly" used AC. The computer shut it off a couple times but I found that if I kept it in 4L to keep the fan speed up that we would maintain use of the AC. Great moral booster for the family. And , the most popular piece of equipment came to be a Misty Mate. Brought smiles all around to pull the awning for shade and fire up the mist!

Drove 130 miles across the American Desert via the Pony Express/Overland Trail. Awesome drive with huge open spaces and even saw some wild horses.

Wow that means you are running pretty hot for the AC to shutoff. Might want to add some 30k silicon fluid to your fan clutch, it's only half an hour job. I would over fill to have the clutch mostly engaged just in case especially with the fam and running solo in the dessert and in summer heat. Any hobby shop would have it for cheap.
 
9 new speakers in

Rear 6.5" "subwoofer" replacement completely pointless.

But the disintegrating speakers getting replaced allows for some tunes to get cranked
 
Ridgemaster- It might help to relocate those monster lights out of the airflow path for the radiator
