Added Slee cat guards to the skids. Straightforward install, but the security (keyed) allen bit they provided was barely too small and started stripping the bolts at 10 ft-lbs (their install video says to tighten to 15 ft-lbs). I had to switch to the equivalent security torx T30 that I had on hand.

Stupid secondary air fans giving up the ghost. One has a failed seal and got mud in it, other apparently ate its own bearing. Apologies in advance to Greta Thunberg for what I’m going to do…
Very interested in your plan.

Going Hewitt kit, and removing the pumps/hoses. So much new room for activities!
Installed some drawers. Storing things and whatnot.
What's your wheel and tires setup?
Method 305’s +25 with KO2’s in 285/75/17
I don’t take enough pics but here’s a couple
A few days in Big Bend NP
What bumper is that? I love it! Been looking for something low profile that can hold several pod lights just like that.
Can you show how you went about mounting the lock-n-roll hitch to the neck of the 1101? Crazy how long of an extension you need in order to clear the bumper/swing-outs. Also, a side shot of the trailer behind the Cruiser would be appreciated as well.
Sure. No problem. And yes that hitch is stupid long. I've tried a few different sizes but this one is only one that works to allow access while hooked. If I run a trail to a backwoods or displaced location; I remove it to avoid dragging during obstacles.
For the hitch, the original "ring" was removed and replaced with the rock and roll. That red colored 4 hole "slip" was welded to the trailer so I could make adjustments and or switch between "hitches".

Couple more from Big Bend. This was on Black Gap Road. BBNP is good place for those new to off-road driving. Mostly sand and dirt with a few spots like this on unmaintained sections. But any heavy rains in area and these areas turn to mud streams.
If you're in Houston I need to come by and see it in person. I like the idea of having an easily replaceable connection versus altering the neck entirely.
In Houston. Drop me a message and we can coordinate a time.
Absolute color choice goodness!!!

It was a beautiful day here in SE TX. The LC and GX both got a bath, detail & ceramic wax.
Love BBNP - used to go down there with my 80 all the time. Black Gap is a fun section.
