Wow, it's hard believe two years have passed since I last posted. Here's what she looks like after a frame swap. The color chosen was just my idea of how I wanted her to look. It's the LR Willow Green using an LR paint code.
While I was originally planning to do the swap myself (with a little help from friends and family). I decided against it because the bulkhead posts were both in bad shape. This, of course, requires removal of bulkhead and all parts that attach to it, seat box, wings, wiring, steering, etc, etc.. I then found someone locally to do the work for me. It cost $4000 in labor plus more than $2500 in replacement parts. But after all is said and done, I don't regret it as it was more than I was willing or capable of doing.
Oh, also note the D90 roll cage and D90 safari roof rack and basket. The ladder still needs to be fitted, but it's almost there.
