It's looking good Mike.

Guess it will come together pretty quickly once you have it back with the tubework done.

Thanks mate !

I've looked around it and there's a fair bit to do before its painted.

Need to make things a bit neater in places and stuff. Sure il get it done

I've got one or two issues il need to over come soon,

Rear bed can't come of when cage is on, so need to make the hole in the bed big enough to pull a whole winch through.

Next up is painting, where the cage will be I can't paint behind !!

Rear prop is also an issue as I think Bailey Morris won't want to lengthen the prop, only shorten another one !

Front Shock towers, rear shock mounts, front and rear bump stops, exhaust, fuel lines, brake lines, mounting the seats will be a mission in it's self ! All got to be made.

Needs a new bonnet, front ends bent, engine needs work !

Never ending list !

Whats up with rear locking hubs? Probably stupid question but I was thinking many times it would be great to have locking hubs on rear so you can unlock it and drive with front wheels only when needed. Anyone ever try that?
I know that rear driveshaft disconnect device exists, just wandering..?

It has a fully floating back axle, which uses front hubs on the rear.

I put free wheeling hubs on so if I break anything I can switch the axle of and be recovered without doing further damage to components.

But yeh could drive it in front wheel drive, one wheel drive or select any given wheel to drive at it has lockers.
