Transmission:  5 speed manual
Transfer Case : stock
Diff Gears: Stock 
Lockers: No  locker   (currently building one ;) )
Tires: 265/70 R15 Khumo
Wheel/Backspacing:  15x8 w/ 3" BS, Mangels ( not shown)
Body Lift:  2" custom made
Suspension Lift: Custom 2.5 "  New coils (made in chile) and coil spacers .
Front:  stock strut with extension and isuzu trooper added shock.
Rear: Isuzu trooper rear shock (real stiff)

Recovery: Warn 4000# winch and a bunch of pals
Custom: Almost everything :D

Electronics: Terra trip 202 + HP 2215 Pocket PC + Holux BC-307 Cf gps receiver + Garmin Etrex Venture Gps.
Tunes: Cheap MP3 Radio (spent it all in electronics ;D)with a couple of Blaupunkt 6x9

Building: A rear electric locker , full roll cage.
sorry the pictures are a bit old.

   

Update:

the locker project has been thought again and currently is in pause condition.
the front A-arms have extended in 3" each side as the cv.
the suspension has been upgraded to 5 inch lift using 2 front sidekick coils welded , and the rear shock changed to some moroe ( I think they are intended for some kind of truck).
A roll cage has been added (custom as all the other stuff  ;) )
The kenwood radio has been chaged for an Icom
Got new tires , the same size
the warn M4000 has been updated to a warn M8000 since the other seemed to be doing to much effort.
Added an ambulance siren module. ( No more traffic issues)
The cheap readio has changed to another cheap one , just a little bit better. (stolen old one)
Got shaved doors. I used an alarm module to open them.
All electric system redone completly
Added a second gel battery and a inverter to get 220v
the venture gps was sold in order to get a notebook and a 15" screen that will be mounted in the dashboard.

for the future:  2 really big cup holders for weekend trips  ;D

Next step - something smaller I can run with fuel at 0.9GBP per litre or 7USD per US gallon. Can you guess what it might be...  ;)

I am in the market for some rims and like the way yours look

Could you let me know what size and backspacing you have?

I saw somewhere that if you measure from the inner rim to the edge that is your backspacing.  If you can I would appreciate it

Thanks

It began on a cold day in March,2005.

It arrived from a bad part of town populated with incompetent car mechanics and sleasy "Buy Here/Pay Here" used car dealers.



Dollied to her new home by a 1973 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 710M (Ex-Swiss Army) aka SJ-425 SE.

Then the fun began.



Here is why I was able to pay $500.00 for an otherwise loaded JLX with a near-perfect body, interior and drivetrain:



Then I sold the Pinz.



Bye-bye... :'(

One thing led to another and I ended up pulling the engine and replacing the Crankshaft



and then I replaced the Exhaust manifold...



and an A/C compressor with a broken mount...

and rebuilt the CV shafts...

replaced the auto-locking hubs with manual Samurai hubs...

and repainted the wheels...



...then discovered one wheel was bent...

...fought the timing battle, got it running, bought new tires, got an alignment

and here is the finished product:



At last, something to cushy to drive that has a radio and rides nice. 

Someday, eventually, it will evolve...

Hold it!!!!!!!!!

     Is that a "Cast Iron" exhaust manifold? All the ones I've seen up here in the Great White North have a tube type exhaust manifold that looks alot like a Calmini header!
