Very nice, In the pic below, is that the only floor mod needed to convert it for 4x4 from 2wd, and the cut outs in the front chassis legs???

looks awsome mate

one thing i would change is the brake servo and use a 4wd one, as the bottle is on the other side so less heat is on the bottle where the brake fluid is

You should no mate iv got one of each here . and as i see it there are fings i dont like on each of them . 2wd bottel can get hot but the pump is out os the was 4x4 bottel out the way but the pump can get very hot so that why i have both so i can make my mind up which one to use . and befor any one ask iv done the fab work so it will all so take the 4x4 unit as well .
