So far I've done the following:

2.5" suspension lift
33" mud tyres
front winch

I had at one point bobtailed the tub but needed a standard size one again so swapped it with someone who wanted a bob tub. I had also converted it to coil springs at the rear and this gave me an extra couple of inches lift aswell, but had nothing but bother with the springs so went back to leaf springs which i modified and took 2 leafs out of each spring - Much nicer ride and better articulation (full travel now only limit is the damper lengths)

I'm also an emergency responder with the National 4x4 response network (Yorks Lincs group) so have a few goodies in the truck to use for that too

A few snaps


















whats this like to drive on the road mate?

i'm tempted to get one and do very similar mods and use it as a daily, off roader and tow vehicle to tow a FORD for track 8)
