Excellent space management. Looking forward to seeing this next Sunday (if you can attend).

Can you believe I still haven't had a chance to lock the hubs yet!?! Beside regular work I've been busy re-landscaping my backyard and next is building both front and rear deck. (It's all my wife's idea...) I just figure if I get this done for her then I should be good to go for the rest of the summer! I was lucky to have Falco giving me a hand over the last few days!
And I should be good to go next Sunday, then it will be back to deck building. Hey, maybe we should go from Tomahawk to my deck after breakfast...

Still don't get nearly as much time to work on my truck as I'd want but this was as easy as it gets and makes for a nice face lift. Finally, I don't feel like I'm driving a city queen... I'll probably add a lift later on (2" to 4" max) but for now it drives fine and I like the "squatting sumo" look of it, fills the wheels arch nicely!
Here's a picture of the new rubber compared to the 30/9.5r15 that are currently on my Delica. Scary isn't it. And I went conservative... 255/85r16

Yup, pizza cutter at its best! 33.3" tall and only 10" wide...

Nice ride! Safaris sure are The Sex... Too bad the US has such shite grey market import regs. At least I can get a late model L300 here in Taiwan.

Are you trying to make it look like a Hummer?
I definitely agree that angle grinders are fun - I've only set fire to my engine bay a few times using one...

Going for that 120 degree approach angle I see!
Right On!

Looks like the Safari you gave me a heads up on is sold. Too bad, I was very close to pulling the trigger.
^&%$#@ am I happy I don't own a grinder! Are you replacing that with a winch bumper, or just modding it?
