Thanks guys, for the compliments. :thumbup:

Ive only had the "Beast" for two weeks now, but am getting to a appreciate it, the space it has, and the high strength build quality as well.

Anxious to get it offroad the last weekend this month. Off to the West Coast with the Cederg 4x4 club for a few days. :biggrin:
