Yeah thats a top idea.
Lift kit, sunraysias, mud terrain tyres, snorkel, bullbar, spotties, roof rack and low range gearing and it'd go anywhere...

got my rims back today with the brand new nitto invos,

pulled my rear rims off, bleed all 4 brakes, was quiet a bit of water in the front lines, and gernied the wheel arches they were caked with dirt in places. then decided to push it out cause i was going to wash it but the rain seems to have done a decent job of that for now
