Farmer’s steel tray and installed a factory rear tub. With a set
of OEM flares installed, he’s been able to shoehorn in a set of
35-inch Federal Couragia mud-terrains wrapped around 15-inch
Dynamic D-Hole steel wheels.
Taylor’s not scared to punt the big ’Lux into silly situations,
but he’s also cautious to not beat it into a pulp for the fun of it.
To keep it in one piece after a weekend on the tracks, he’s gone
from headlight to tail-light with a comprehensive barwork
package. The tip of the spear, and the piece that cops the most
rocks straight to the face, is an Xrox tube bar that houses a set
of LED spotlights and a 12,000lb winch.
Eagle-eyed readers may notice something a little different
with the front bar – Taylor’s fired up the welder and bender
and added in headlight protection with a set of hoops that
show the Jeep boys there are better ways than plastic angry
