hello all! new member just introducing myself, actually joined about a year ago but didn't do much more than that, I used to be on another forum quite a bit and built this beasty... http://forum.difflock.com/viewtopic.php?t=32393

been working on something which is now in its 4th year, would have been finished but its sort of evolved over time!

got some technical questions but sure ill find my way round the site to hopefully ask them in the right place

cheers! Russ

Hello

I remember you vit on diff lock. Lot of work went into it. What's the new project?

Loved your Vit on difflock, especially the bellhousing. Amazing work. As for evolving over time - I always say that there's no such thing as a "finished" truck!

Pics please!

hi, its basically steel willys inspired/replica body on an sj chassis, 410 transfer with jimny axles coils arms engine and box, 235 75 muds on. it started of with Suzuki alto engine, vitara box with another of my bell housings with the transfer box removed, sj410 transfer box. ive had loads of legal issues with it as it turned out there was a clone of the base 410 I used, this took years (litarally) to sort out, ended up 3 police forces involved, and finally having to submit a built up vehicle report submitting serial numbers, receipts to get a log book.

just trying to work out how to post pics, I can splat metal together ok, but computer stuff is harder, any one point me in the right direction?

hope this works....

the one with the ally snorkel tube is pretty much the latest one, got wing mirrors now that's the only noticeable difference

Welcome to SCUK. Looks like a tidy build.

Is the body home made or a kit?
