half way through building a front bar, built a snorkel (RML special),tightened wheel bearings and did a water pump and thermostat. Hopefully tomorrow finish front bar, sort out rear bar and deck lift. Weld all joins and grind back snork, paint and fit. Get rid of valve in rear to get new disks working, look at inventing a custom handbrake and throw in radiator, bleed and test run..
Lots to do on the new(ish) truck before a trip mid august but should get there with a few late nights :D

took the gammy factory cassette stereo out of the ln60 , made a panel to fill the massive hole it left and fitted a new stereo. fitted 2 new tow hooks so theres 1 on each corner now. will probably need them at woodhill next weekend ,to tow the stuck fullas out :wink: it will probably be muddy as. have to modify the rear bar i got from gimmemud. think it must have been fitted to his wagon after the body lift was done.

Down the river at Timona Park, took the kids down for a play and bike ride and spotted it. Water flowing too fast to get out to it. Was thinking of dragging it out.
