Well i went to see it. There have been lots of small things done at some cost but they've spent $10k to make a $2K+ vehicle. Lifted with big tyres is all very well but there LITERALLY - and I use the word entirely correctly - was 270 degrees of play in the steering wheel before there was any turn which made it completely unsafe to drive. Almost like they upgraded height and suspension etc but the steering gear is just not powerful enough to do anything. This area is waaay beyond my skill and comfort level so no go for me.
