Sad....but for whoever gets it this is a great deal.

Having seen this vehicle perform I can honestly vouch for the build and it capability.

Some interior pics:

Corbeau Forzas and RJS harnesses

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/kid4lyf/new2.jpg
Art Carr shifter
Switches for lights and ARB in console

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/kid4lyf/new3.jpg
Corbeau seats are mounted on XJ bases.
That way the 4 way power still works.

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/kid4lyf/new4.jpg
Separate regulator and gauge for the ARB hidden in console.
It's set to 95 PSI with rest of system set to 125 PSI

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/kid4lyf/a2.jpg
Switches and gauge for OBA and dual battery system behind TC shifter
Upper left is interior winch control switches.

how is this thing one the road?It was forced into DD status for two months this winter and was fine.
Obviously, it's not great due to the soft suspension. Even with the sway bars there's still noticable body lean in turns but nothing unsafe.
It'll run 70 mph on the highway smooth as a baby's ass.
