just about got things sorted, rear shoes in, front caliper was stuck, hunk of 4x2 has (hopefully) sorted that out. Still no speedo, but ill look into that tomorrow...... at least the transfer case is in one piece, for the meantime.

Migh have a paj with me too. ATs with no hooks etc.... standard roadie... hopefully its as flat and easy as everyone seems to tthink it is or he'll be going home again.
