Yesterday was paint prep, getting the coating of the cage was a pain !!
Scotching it all and rubbing it down took an age, but pretty much ready for paint.
You can see the harness bar is now fitted, also got the filler neck in the bed welded into position

Measure the rear and get that sorted.
Then, fuel tank plus guard, fuel lines brake lines, dash, loom, seat mounts, seats, hydro handbrake, glass, doors, bonnet, winches, the list goes on !

Going back to the tyres thing. I completely understand from a performance point of view its just my eyes don't like it.
I guess a custom tank may be the way to go. Get it right up out of the way.

Can always buy more treps, you can't buy boggers anymore.
One of the few reasons I got them, standard tank is all in and fitted, with the guard.
Moved the axle back to original postion too, standard rear shock mounts being used. Will all be neater that way and quicker.
