Interesting solution.
What are the benefits of running 16inch rims compared to the usual 15''? (and what are the cons if any?)
Meanwhile, the next set of upgrades:
Made the panhards bars to be adjustable (dyi mod at home)
and added some protection under the shocks
Looking good, I think
At the front end I've put a damper because, after the lift and bigger tires, the steering was all over the place at higher speeds when going on uneven terrain and the damper pretty much fixed it, to be honest.
Again, the set is from Jimnybits.

As you might imagine the external antenna has already been taken victim of the trail (yes, of course, I forgot to put it down )
So I installed a brand new internal one
I don't know if these are actually functional but at least they look cool so there you go - side indicator light guards :laugh:
And one final small addition I created myself from thin aluminum - a custom foldable trail table!
It should be able to hold at least a couple of beers
I was planning to make that table bigger but it turned out the 3rd door wasn't flat all the way (meaning the metal itself under the plastic cover). Maybe there are some other solutions out there, dunno... Does anybody else have some DYI tables?
