IMO you don't want the spare inside, ask Gimmemud how much of a drama it is to fit a 35 spare inside.
,jdub,ill definatly stop by them in the next day or 2 and get some of that sorted,n yeh thats pretty much what ill be putting in UBZ,and like ya say im also pretty sure thatll sort the problem,i dont really want the spare in the boot but just for a tempory thing itll be fine,and yeh,thinking sum sort of full length plate down either side thats hinged on,thatl give me 2 extra pockets that are usable,and yeh id believe half the boot gimmemud,i threw mine in quickly just to check things and its definatly a tight fit,and that wont get any beta if i get a set of 37 muds 
hell yeah , def need that SAS ah , that IFS front would last about 2 minutes aint that the truth,n yeh,im working on it,ill let ya kno that much,if all falls into place it should be sorted by end off year you could imagine how happy i was
,the rear diff in the lux was locked solid so neither wheel would spin and of course i have my awsum gravel driveway to do it all on ,unfortunatly not quite driving yet though

its the 2nd time ive passed out while driving,1st time i drove 600m down the motor way,up the centre wall then back down and up the back end of a primer which went sideways and i came to looking a an indian lady who thought she was about to die.not even slightly funny in the least,lost my license while docs checked me out but couldn't find a thing so got my license back.its really quite a worry but i cant do anything about it and doc said it should happen again

Same thing happened to my dad, took them 9 years to find the problem. The muscles in the back of his neck are larger than normal and when his head is in the correct position, they restrict blood flow to the brain.
.also sat the new 80 series fuel tank into position and have measured up for new chassis rail brace and a rear plate for the double cab conversion.oh and got the drivers side rear door shell filled up with the internals in was missing ie glass reg seals handle and interior 
,we all know how that goes,but have sorted a plan for rear chassis rail and fuel tank mounting / protection and have collected steel as well as deck rough pla.,have decided to go with leaf shackle bushes and make custom eng mounts rather than make a chassis mount to suit a standard eng mount,mainly so if i roll again motor CANT fall out.last time it didn't but i did find a torn eng mount so it was on its way.sheet steel should arrive before the weekend so closing up will begin this weekend as well and picked up fresh 4.1 lsd hi pinion diff today from main freight.just got to get hub spacers made then can set aside a weekend to rebuild front diff.it ain't a lot but getting there .although the chassis has been extended its still shorter than factory length truck by approx 150mm.as per pic I've included tow eyes and snatch hooks.also put fuel tank into position and have began working on mounting rails for tank.sat night also got auto brake pedal out and manual brake and clutch pedals in.a whole lot of vacuum,fuel,heater and air con lines removed so eng bay is looking tidier.also got body mounts all tightened up,carpets back in place and front seats mounted...all little stuff sat night but has to be done at some stage so yeah.oh and cleaned all the black sticky sealant off the rear windows which will now get filled in with steel

good progress
,will be very similar to Oscars but just deciding on box or tube.will get tank mounted,deck fab'd,eng remounted and running so fuel tank full etc.basically truck finished along with solid front rebuilt then cut out front and set that up leaving springs and shocks the last things to buy so I'm not spending money twice.rear plate has been left strait bro due to window,fold would be in a funny place and yeah its good to see it moving forward again.only have 1 day a week to work on it though so maybe a bit slower to finish then I'd hoped for but good things take time,better things take even longer Very cool.
