well... finally got my truck mot'ed haven't really bothered with my build because it's
nothing compared to some off the things on here
. thought i'd just put a pic off how it stands with add a leaves and my feedback etc...
since my last post it's had:
new clutch
recon starter
235/75/15 recip mud tyres
extended shocker mounts
polybush shocker bushes
painted all that red with black (with a brush offcourse
)
loads more stuff but i can't think atm
been to korc twice now and it really does go anywhere i point it
was looking into rocklobsters/lockers but for what i do 1st gear and mementum work a treat!
really impressed with the add a leaves would recomend to anyone!!
so here she is!
(note to self spotlights aren't for ramming other trucks
)
P.s looking forward to the meet at korc so we can all put the landy's in there place

Looks nice.
Much prefer the black cage. Subtle stuff always works best.
