I did add new 15x10" wheels. You can see them in my trip thread from my New Year's Hangover Avoidance trip to S. Cal.
I have done some maintenance work (replaced fan & fan clutch, etc.) but that's not a 'build' item.
Upgraded from the stock plastic snorkel grill to a metal one from Expedition exchange but that's not a big deal.
There are some upgrades that I'll be buying in Australia and some I already have but still need to install but I'll wait to finish them before I post any more details..

Mr. Ray,
Would you mind revisiting this write up? http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showfl...=1#Post1143828
What are your long term impressions with this kit?
Could you post the pics of the install?
Thanks!

The snorkel has been great. No issues whatsoever. Definitely worth it IMHO. I'll have to track down the install pics later once I'm back home from work.

Swapped in Euro-spec tail lights so I now have reverse lights. With my aftermarket rear bumper swap, my new bumpers did not have a spot to mount the OE Mitsu reverse lights. They normally are mounted in the stock bumper.

Nice looking wheels, how about a shot of the whole truck?

why 33's? you down sizing in whole, or just dropping for mileage?
