Nice the Dual Battery box looks good too! Remember you have to add Tow Hooks otherwise Jerry will be on your case.

Does a 33" spare fit on the back door without clearance issues?
Is the winch going on the plate in phot tight to the radiator?

Oh yes and tow hooks :D

Also adding a front locker

We are still working on the spare door, no a 33 wont fit standard, but once we remove the factory bumper it might.

The guys at 4wd Acc in CHCH have been excellent with everything. It should be up and running by next week and hopefully going to take it out to the shefield mud plug.
