Erm, ye i want it road legal so i can green lane it. Havent really thought that far ahead, ill just overcome what i have to when i have to.

Its funny because i wasnt really going for flex just comfort and offroad capability, then one thing led to another and here we are. It rides nice over the cobbles in the yard :armsup:

I have never seen an SJ with that much articulation. Well done indeed!
If it ticks over...leave it

It wasnt my plan, just how its ended up. It seems very stabile too, unusual feeling for an sj!

That looks fantastic! I like how you've kept the bumpers true to the original size but loads stronger.
