    TYRES: Insa Turbo Dakar 265 75 16. They are a copy of the BFG M/T

    CROTCHROCKET--- Well done. Looks nice. I'm glad everything finally worked out for you in the end.

    I really like your concept of how to wash your concept. The guy gets it dirty, and the girl has to clean it. Interesting theory, but might not always work here in the USA. Ever since we gave USA women the right to smoke and vote, we kinda' lost our persuasive edge.

    Peanut Butter-Kid (PBKID)--- Yes, those are cool looking attachment bars for the off-road lights, especially since they were a factory OEM opton for the JDM version. Too bad they weren't available on the USA model. Here in the USA, I guess we just have to settle for ToneMonday's front Safari Bar bumper if we want some sort of off-road light attachment point.

    So what kind and how much of a lift on it? And why is it that I always dig those JDM mirrors? Are they adjustable so that you could use them on the opposite side of the vehicle, like if it was LHD rather than RHD? Maybe it's just because it makes a strange vehicle stranger...

    PM JDM_Monkey. I think he's out of stock now but I believe he has a source overseas.

    I have one on my VX. Not adjustable and no real use for RHD vehicles, but it certainly looks good IMO. Starts lots of conversations.
