Coming along nicely. Pleased you decided not to sell it. Most of the lads on here seem to have pretty tidy trucks and do a decent jobs modding them and keeping them legal. Instead of just trashing them.

Hope you, like a few others, are able to sort some reasonable insurance out.

cheers im after some big tyres for it but don't think my bank balance likes me at the moment :L as for the front bumper I had just bought a pipe bender and wanted to see how far it would bend 135% then I thought I didn't want to waist it lol I was going to make a tubed front end so was meant for that but found a sj in a local scrap yard so I bought to front end off it. and i thought it looked to high but you can only see the top of it.
