Welcome to Yotatech Chris! This is a great forum where the members try to help each other instead of slinging sh**! You've got a great looking truck there...looks like you have put lots of hours into it.

Thanks for the comments everyone, its taken a while to get to where it is but im trying to do it all right the first time. Learning alot as i go, Im a carpenter by trade so didnt really know to much mechanical stuff before starting the build. To date everythings been done by myself with the help of my younger brother or friends. Wish i could jump the pond and wheel some of your american trails like the Rubicon and hammer trails etc in this thing one day.

I also need to move the shock tabs on the rear crossmember in further to stop them bottoming out early.

Had a build up on pirate but wasnt getting any love and was told to make a build here by a pirate4x4 member.

WOW! if you weren't getting any love from pirate than those guys don't know 4x4. This is probably one of the coolest builds I have seen. I can only dream of having a rig like that. Very clean and enjoyed the door mod pics (thinking of doing something similar to my 86 when it is no longer my DD). Cant wait to see some pics from when you finally get it dirty.
