No need for me to post pictures. With the exception of slightly larger than stock tires (235-85 16), and a winch on the front, my Raider is STOCK, STOCK, STOCK! Just look at any picture of a black 2 door gen1 and you could be looking at mine.

I like my "stealth" raider. I like it when - after traveling a road with 5 feet of snow on it - the kid in the jacked up Toyota with big tires that followed my tracks in says "I thought it would be someone with bigger tires".

Note that I already agreed that Landraiders rig would undoubtedly outperform mine off road. But, I just can't see a solid front axle cornering as well as a double A arm independent front suspension. Even with a vehicle like the gen 1 RX7's, which arguably had one of the best controlled solid REAR axles, you could still feel the effects of the solid axle when cornering in bumpy conditions.

Finally, I'm glad that no one will call my rig "bad ass". I don't want to intimidate anyone.

PS - I'm not saying that Landraider wants to intimidate people, but when his Raider garners the description of "bad ass" it's first impression seems to be one of intimidation.
