Something Witty Here, new build.

A surprising amount of people can't post pictures, so you've got that going for you. Welcome. What are your plans for that Trooper?

I like those wheels. I recently saw a 2.5 gen Trooper with color matched fender flares and bumpers and it looked like a Subaru Forester.

I like those new wheels too.

What's the duty cycle?

That's about right. I don't even think about stuff like that until someone asks me. My winch has been sitting in a box uninstalled for the last two years so it's hardly mattered!

Looks great on there.

Is this your first Trooper?

I was only asking because the guy I bought my Trooper from lived up in Greeley and I wanted to make sure you weren't him.

I'm down in Thornton. You can check the link in my signature for my build thread. 180 miles on a half tank is phenomenal at 80mph. I could maybe do that at 55mph, but not 80.

Looking good so far.

Yeah, it's looking better than I thought without the 2-tone. It especially will with the lift and new tires.

If I ever have the funds/time to build a street Trooper, I might elect to ditch the 2-tone. I do like the idea of looking like a stock sleeper though.

Paint and wheels look good. No lift yet right?

Looks so good. Getting me excited to start working on my winch bumpber!

No lift yet. Springs in box still.

I need to know they will work out for you so I can sleep at night. It's been weeks....







Just kidding.

What trail are you going to do your shake down run on?

I might be there at the end of this month. Let me know if you go and we'll see if the timing works out. Unfortunately I've had zero time to put into my Trooper since last Moab trip, so I won't have any cool new goodies. I've had a winch sitting in my garage for the last two years waiting for me to build a winch bumper, for example.
