Here are a few pics taken this weekend...the license plate is just for viewing/fitment purposes.
Things to add are seatbelts, windshield and a wiper, and a body...and I believe it will be ready for the Illinois inspection.

Good lookin' buggy. Looks like it's ready for war! It looks just like a military vehicle. Nice work overall. Get 'er done!

Yep, went T2 with the front, need to pull a leave or two for a bit smoother ride.

Engine is a fuel injected 2.8L from an 86 S10. Runs really good. Did find out that I need to find a starter wrap/heat shield to keep the starter from getting too hot. I killed it a few times on the trail and had to douse it with some water to let it cool off.

Thanks for the comments, GF likes the 'stache too.

Cant wait to get back out in the woods.
