Challenge trayback build

great build, looking forward to seeing it at the events when its done.

Great work, those axles look bombproof. Can't wait to see the finished result.

carnt wait to see it on the mud

Good job!

It's nice to see that you've been plagued with clearance issues too! I re-made my front prop three times - with the final version being made from a Land Rover half shaft 31mm - and now I have 2mm clearance on the sump and 1mm on the front A frame under full compression. Not much, but enough.

Today I made the exhaust with lots of complicated bends - a real pain in the bottom!

I'll post some piccies soon. All I have to do now is plumb the brakes, connect the handbrake and wire up the lockers - then it's drivable. When the weather gets better, I'll make the external cage & winch mountings. Tube bending needs more space than I have indoors.

Cheers all

Si, haha yea i think doing the type of build we've both undertaken theres always going to be loads of clearance issues, i'm sure there are easier ways of getting around them but the most time consuming tend to be the ones with the best end result...which is a pain! :laugh:

i'm not looking forward to doing my exhaust, the N/S shouldnt be a problem but O/S has to go over the transfer box without interupting the shift mechanism thats a headscratcher for another day though :laugh:

looking forward to seeing how yours is progressing

I'm lost for words.

If the devil wanted a Jimny, I think he'd give you a call.
