Most of the pictures are from the gut where I bought the body from.

There is some info in my thread

http://forum.suzukiclubuk.co.uk/vi ... lit=nissan

And some excellent work and pictures in GP7186's build thread.

You will find that everyone seems to end up doing it slightly different when doing a home made kit.

Good luck, and if you start just ask away with questions. Someone will help you.

Trotter does and as far as I'm aware he wants to pin them so they can't open for road use.

I need to fix my pics, it will take me a while though :thumbdown:
There are plenty of pics on my photobucket account though, it's a lot easier to make a YJ kit for a 410/413 than it is for a samurai. http://s592.photobucket.com/user/scotti ... ki%20build

I've got missing links front and rear.

On the front because I moved the axle forward a little to reduce cutting into the wheel arch/bulkhead.

On the rear due to long Nissan Navara springs meaning I had to, plus I pushed the axle back a bit too.

These are this bits I made for the rear set up, similar for the front.

I don't have a problem with them either. They seem okay, as long as you remember it's a 4x4, and not a sports car.

But I like driving it like its a sports car :lol: mine actually handles really well for an SJ, tbh I'd go as far to say is that it handles well for a 4x4 in general. It is pretty low and wide though.
