All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. - T.K. Whipple, Study Out the Land

I took the legs off of my double tent cot and mounted it to a painted cut to size piece of plywood.

I removed the running boards, mudflaps and bumpers to prpare for some fun.
Inside I added the Garmin 7200 and a mount for the laptop. I also added two more 12 volt power receptacles, that are wired and fused straight to the new deep cycle marine battery.
Added a Safari snorkel, Aisin Hubs and found a ARB bumper for $300, off a 1995-2004 Toyota Tundra, grab it, modified it, put it on and added the lights.
Added some taillight guards from pick-n-pull. Removed the 1/4" steel rear bumper off my Gen I and put it here. Need to modify the ends, but it fits and will do the job.
Put on some protection for those rocker panels.
Next up, replace my 31X10.50 Pirelli Scorpion ATR's that have 45,000 plus miles with ? (not sure yet, still pondering) May go with 33's and change the gearing. I really like those Pirelli's.

2000 Montero. Lockers front/rear, lower gears, stuff inside, and tent on top.
Yes, it's looking great. I like how the ARB fits so nicely. Great job.
Grass Cat.. Have you noticed any better MPG with the new hubs? Where did you find them? I thought they were out of production.
