It will be fine, if it breaks I fix it. Simple.

from what I can remeber, it's not always simple

No nut that's all part of the fun.

Plus that width is the only way to clear 37 inch tyres against the springs.

I know you like your suzuki axles Mike but it may soon be time to fit something else

Toys !!

Wheels are done, transfer box is being done by Richard now, and I bought some fox air bump stops

Now the work really starts, beadlocks going on tomorrow, may even see if I can get a tyre on depends if I can do it without a machine.

I've got a very long list to sort out.

Service the whole car, rebuild the axles, change all the oils ect.
Fit rear winch and wire it in.
Fit air free spool to front winch, fit and wire in air compressor.
Move axles, chop body, fit wheels and tyres.
Fit new transfer box.
Rebuild the front leaf spring packs to make them stronger, and fit bump stops.

By my estimate it will be done by 2020 buy the current amount I get to work on it lol.

Test fitted the wheels today, It's a few inches wider no without the spacers.

Not sure how to mount the air bumps yet.

Lots to be doing.
