Mine is actually a grill with a (dirty) copper mat on it. I'd like to get the griddle attachment! Camp Chef makes good stoves! I have their version of the Jetboil and love it!

You are right, the ARB lights are $740.13 outrageously priced. Who the hell can afford to throw away that much money on a light. In all fairness ARB does sale a pair of driving lights in black for $319.00 a pair, still too pricy for me. I did find some decent 9" lights on amazon for $91 or red rimmed for $108 that are suitable for now.

Took the Range Rover up to Loon Lake last Sunday. The lake is still frozen over. Did really well in the snow.

Revisiting your post, I'm drooling, you have all the necessary goodies and neat as a pen as they say. I'm on my way to getting there but "oh so far away" presently.
Could you post some more pic's of your interior. Do you have solar or secondary battery source ? Give us all the info you can on equipment and mod's you have made. Something about white Disco's that turn me on even though I like my mellow Gold one that no one can tell what color it is.

If I ever get a nice stove I think I would get one like this. I think the grill is better for cooking a lot of things and yet you have a burner too. Nice

Your looking good Al. Picture is kind of dark and I'd like to see and hear more about your rig when you have time.
What are your mod's if any, I doubt you are totally stock ! my mod's are minor but significant and I'm still working to make it as good as I want it to be. I should be posting something soon.

Nothing fancy, just suspension, tires and wheels.

Do you have after market rear bumper too ? On suspension, did you just go HD or did you add lift as well ? What size tires are you on ? Did you add longer shocks ? Have you added greeseable u-joints to your drive shaft's ? Have you added lockers or are you running stock (I think it's adequate) ? Did you change your diff gearing ? Is the roof rack noisy when driving at speed ? How does it handle at speed with the RTT on top ? It looks great, maybe i'll run in to you on the trail somewhere. Will you be going to the PNW rally in June ? Happy Trails ! Jim

ARB FRONT Bumper. Some Rear metal bumper, been awhile.
Fox 2" shocks with OME 1.5 springs and 1" spacer.
Shaft still stock but I need to replace it ASAP before I go to another trip and not bust my trans case.
I'm stock, I'll add the CDL soon but so far it's been good but I'll also don't take crazy chances, I love sight seeing more than trying to crawl crazy places. #2 goal is to be out there but #1 rule is to get home safe.
With my RTT, it handles fine, heavy during up hill but the truck is also heavy even without it lol. No not noisy... I wish not to use it anymore, going smaller and setting up drawer system where I can sleep inside. My RTT is made for 4 person when I take my family...
I work for myself so I don't really get to plan a month ahead, I usually decide to go on trip within days of notice but I hope to go.
