Ok, I think I have this in the right spot now. 
Hi, Mike Klein, damn glad to meet you! I drive a 97SE which I bought new. It’s sporting a very old (’99 era) Tomken 6” lift, currently running Kumho 33s. Axles house 4.56 gears with a No-Slip in the 8.25 and TruTrac in the D30. Protection includes Tomken front bumper and transfer case/transmission skid plates, Custom 4x4 nerfs, and home built rear bumper. Preventive maintenance and repairs include steering box brace, track bar bracing, BPEs front and rear (all home brew), bastard pack using some ¾ ton GMC leaves, and MORE motor mounts. Niceties include custom rear storage area, and CB (not much in the way of niceties). There’s much more but I’m not going to bust a blood vessel trying to remember them.
On to the pictures…
Southerland Trail, east of Catalina AZ

The Step, Charouleau Gap Trail, south of Oracle AZ

Cherokee Air, Three Feathers east of Tucson

At rest, SlickRock Campground, Moab UT

See you on the trails...

Glad to see you on the forum. Welcome from South Texas.
My only contact with Az is a short contract I had in Payson a few years back. Beautiful country. I love the rim area but that is a ways North of you.
Nice and very capable looking rig you have there.
