Thanks for the welcome, ive been having a look around for some ideas.
Main things ill be doing is body lift, suspension lift, fuel tank lift and new guard, diff guard for the front, wheels & tyres (31's i think), box sills with rock sliders, all the welding is in the process of being done. Luckily its just the body thats abit holey!! Haha.

Are any of you guys from around leics/derbyshire?

I have an SJ413 but only bought it a couple of months ago so still pretty new to it!

Taking it off the road for a few weeks to do a few jobs to it but once it's back we should meet up and do a few lanes, there are a few nice ones around us!
