After spending the summer in Colorado I brought FAT AMY back home to start the next round of mods to get her ready for Moab in March and April, then she will be driven back over to Colorado for the summer months. After last summers experience and getting some ideas on what I needed/want to make overlanding a little better experience I have decided on the following mods: Regear to 488's, Metal Tech 2 inch steel spacers in the frong, new bushings all around for the sway bars, rear drawer system (Not sure if I am going to build homemade, the Dobinson Drawer system or recently the Quick Pitch Mini Kitchen has caught my eye (does anyone have any reviews on this?)) , Delta VS rear bump stop extensions, Delta VS rear panhard bracket, DELTA VS attic brackets and storage rack, new charcoal canister and a couple other things that I will figure out once I get more into the breakdown. Any input would be greatly appreciatedView attachment 136179View attachment 136180View attachment 136181

I found a great hack in YouTube to remove grease from the undercarriage. I blew a seal and spewed grease all over the undercarriage and used easy off oven cleaner to break it down. Worked great. View attachment 136182View attachment 136183View attachment 136184
