Nice!

But, you lucky git, you have solid chassis to weld to!

I have to bugger about with paper thin series 3 chassis, lol, see my latest thread.

What is the Landy going to be? Winch challenge truck?

Cheers.

Not really a winch challenge truck but it is too that spec really. I am sort of setting it up for moving to Australia in about a year with my aussie girlfreind.

Spec at the moment is

Front and rear ARB diff locks and compressor
Front and rear warn 9.5xp's
Southdown side sills
2004 type rear door
255 85 r16 bfg mud terrains on modular rims
safari snorkle
repositioned ecu and fuse box
flashable ecus (3 of them!)

Am currently designing a large capacity fuel tank for the load bed (200+litres) and once its all back together I will probably fit the following. (time and finances depending)

Hannibal / eezi-awn Roof tent
Patriot roof rack
ome +2" suspension with devon 4x4 turrets and relocation cones etc.
roll cage

and some other stuff

will post a few more pics of the progress over the next few weeks.

Update. All the mechanical/fuel/wiring stuff and the bulkhead is fitted/together. Only the body to go. (I wish it was that easy!!)

Just ordered a set of OME LTR (Long travel remote cannister) dampers for it too look realllllllllllly cool but cost a bloody fortune
