Here is my Chief, nicknamed the Molotov after losing a fuel cap at an off road weekend camping with some buddies from the birtydastards jeep club so had to shove a tea towel down the filler pipe for a few days - not so good on inclines!
It has petrol 5.9 V8.
Greatest mod has been gettin a middle bench from a T5 volvo estate and framing it as a front bench seat as that means the Mrs and our 4 boys can use it for camping/laning trips - just had a great long weekend doing lanes on the IOW.
Work done in the 10 months since I have owned it:
6-7? SOA Suspension lift complete with hi-steer (ie flat top knuckles, caster realignment etc)
Heavy duty springs (new bushes front and rear)
Rough Country 6? extended shock
Rough Country steering damper

Off road Phatchopperrod rear off road bumper
Front & rear replacement leather bench seats
3 x 3 point rear harnesses

Upgraded CD player
35? BFG Muds x5
15x10 Black Steel wheels
Blood Red off road 30mm billet spacers

Next on the list is a brake hydroboost system and quick release steering hub and new steering wheel - have the parts so should be soon.
Only other thing I still have to do is a re-gear to 4.88 and a rear locker, I have the parts, just waiting for the right time as I have a mate who does it for me but I have to get axles off and schlep them over to him etc.
