I'll 'accidentally' put his 235 Mud Terrains on it. Then some 2" springs. Then a real bumper. Some Hellas.

It'll all come together.

The lift makes a world of difference.  When I save up a bit I will get some new tires.  Thinking of these in a 235/85 16" size:

I'll second that. I lost an oil pan on one of my scca GTi's, because the people in Jamaica Plains I worked with wanted to see a road race car. I swore never to drive any of my race cars to work again after that. Then a year later, I took one of my 2002 Tii's there to show it off, and broke a diff housing. Boston roads seriously suck!

Those are the running boards I am making into sliders. They are OEM from Land Rover and are very well made if your not using them to bounce off rocks.
I think they look good on a an opera mobile :) LR.
