Re: Mikes lwb build and repairs !
So went to Scotland did the scotia winch challenge was really good
Broke a diff and a front shaft which was a shame as it was rcv, but new one is on the way from USA.
Really good event, but 450 miles each way was long towing !
24 volt converting the winches was really good, made a huge difference, body work got beaten even more rear tray section which holds the rear lights got ripped off.
So just got hold of a new one, but I plan on shortening it.
But there won't be much use of this, this year as I'd really like to do my kja, if I don't carry on with it soon it will never get done, and I don't have time for both.

So got a photoshoot today for a magazine
So decided to smarten it up a bit as damage was bad after Scotland.
Cut of or should I say pulled of the back panel, shortened the bed a few inches and replaced it with a new old stock rear panel I had.
New lights richard fox has sent me so big thanks to him !
Il take pics today see how stuck we can get him !
