Bump for update in OP.

Got the stinger bumper and which mounted today. Next is an after market cruise control, then off road lighting. Before / After:

Thanks for your reply. I’m on the FB group. I kinda want to run it just for fun, but also to gain experience for other rallies. Id like to do the Budapest to Bamako, some of the other rally-raid style events. Im hoping to use this as a relatively safe test run: see what breaks, what I wish...
