Ok here she is. I just went out and snapped a few, after tearing up the street.LOL

Ony problem so far is that it seems to sometimes "sputter" when going in reverse...

As you can see, I tricked it out just a little bit. I installed the front brush guard, rear bumper, front/rear rack extenders and my home made shackle bracket for towing and pulling. Was a Pain in MY A$$ drilling out the reciver to take the size shackle I wanted. I had to grind it out as I didn't have a bit big enough to ream it out and i didn't want to shell out 30 bones for one....

Nice pics- congrats on the purchase
the sputtering could just be a reverse rev limiter

Welcome to the forum mtnkinker. Hang around and post some pics you'll love this place. The beast is Looking Good. Your gonna love it. Like WildWest said just press the yellow button in while going in reverse that will take care of the sputtering. Also if you want AWD while in reverse you have to push the yellow button in.

You need to push the yellow button on the handle bar when in reverse. It would tell you why in the owners manual. Enjoy!

If you buy aluminum wheels you will need longer wheel studs.
