Wow what a day !!

Both axles moved 1.5 inches !! Added leafs to the front springs trying to stop them failing under heavy winching. Had to re drill spring plates ect took forever.

Chopped one sill back, and the rock slider. Know how I can do it now making it look neat and standard ish :)

Can I put pics up yet? :)
