Cheers tadpole, it's getting there :)

Yeh 32mm spacers, I will check for you when I get a chance :)

They scrub the mudguards as is, no articulation, little bit before full lock.

When you say mudguards im assuming you mean the little mud flaps behind the front wheel and not the arch liners?you planing on removing the ARB for better articulation?

I haven't noticed any rubbing on mine but then I dont have spacers ;)

Yeh mudflaps not arch liner. They might have to be removed its gonna get on my nerves.

Il try it n the road/ off the road as it is then try it without and see which I prefer. :)
I think it should be ok, the rears look like they will tuck in with rom to spare, can't comment on the fronts until I get it out and test it :)

No more chrome. 13 years of grime sitting behind these is proving a pain to remove, got the worst of it off, will attack it with the mop tomorow, bit late for power tools now.

Another small update. Sticky number plate. Tinted my rear side windows.

The window tints quite frankly were a bastad! I will redo them at some point because I'm not happy with the way they came out, and when I do I think il go darker with them.

Lift kit bits turned up today big thanks to everyone that I have purchased bits from, you have all been excellent, quick delivery aswell :)



Cannot wait to get it fitted :)

The tyres are going to have to wait, I need to source a second set or rims, 7j ideally, then il probably get another pair of the nexens, they aren't extortionately priced new, and the money il have saved should cover the cost of a diff lock or snorkel :)
