New Tires
Hi folks; I got tired of constantly trying to balance my TrXus M/T's (265/75) so I decided to change to BFG M/T's (285/75). So far I am very pleased with them - the road noise is less than the TrXus and the balancing is minimal. The only down-side is that I still think the TrXus looked a little better and the gas mileage has taken another hit due to the larger tires.
Of course the byproduct of me buying new tires is that I now have 3 complete sets of tires for sale (original Dunlops, winter 4x4 Alpins and TrXus M/T's) LOL.
I will let you know about off-road performance in due course (the TrXus pulled like bloody tank tracks in the mud and slush - they were great).

Thanks for the acknowledgement fellas.....I have used Yotatech as the primary resource for every step in the modification process. Thanks to you guys and this site, I now have a lot less money than I should LOL. (BTW, 914runner is correct - the flares are Bushwacker).
Attached are a few more photos.
This is the configuration I use for off-roading - I like using the camcorder to record off-road trips.
Switches for lights, lockers, compressor, etc.

Mother of God ! I hope to one day live up to that display of gadgets. I'm working on a CD Player, CB Radio, and GPS right at the moment. I think it's a good start.
