Looks good Mike! I'd maybe think about having a play with the rear suspension though, maybe loose a leaf or 2 to soften it up and add an anti wrap bar if you haven't already got one ;) looks like most of the flex is in the front at the moment and it will perform even better than it does already if the flex was a little bit more balanced and it would feel more stable in cross axle situations etc.

its got enough flex for me at the moment, it going to have a storage bit put int he back for spares and two spare tyres. as well as a winch. so lots of weight.

got the boggers on the wheels today ! properly wide !!

got some gussets and a fully floating rear axle kit on the way, with uprated shafts, so this should make it a touch more relierble.

il get some pics up when the boggers are on !! cant wait ! mud monsters this weekend should be a laugh !!
