Cheers! Motivation is high with the cooling temperatures.
Drew up my crossmember for lower links, gearbox and transfer. Clearanced for exhaust, front shaft and fuel/brake lines while giving a flat chassis. Hopefully the theory works out.

I get the feeling that most BF tyres are a little undersized, my neighbour has a Hilux Surf on 33" BFG AT's, and they're roughly the same size as my Kaimans, only a lot lot wider.
As long as they're bigger than my 31's and no wider I'm happy, haha. The KM2 isn't likely to let me down, I can't wait to use them.

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
