Smoggy's 'Rockwatt' monster rebuild

Looking forward to this

Look forward to the progress updates

Sounds amazing! I wouldn't like to even hazard a guess at the budget though!

Just the one on my profile pic I think but I'll try to dig some others out.

You're right. I was going to take a leaf out of Gaz's book and call it Smoggys unreasonably priced Jimny lol

Apart from all the other work and cash I had spent on the previous build and apart from purchasing the Trepadors. Light bars, ARB compressors, winches etc. I have invested £8500 with Rockwatt and although this sounds a lot Richard has supplied many parts including the Johnny joints at nearly £1100, the special ratio transfer box which I think was about another £500, the pro-comp shockers for the suspension and all the CDS tubing for the cage and steelwork for the refabbing of the sills, chassis alteration, 3 link suspension and pickup/trayback. All in all I believe Rockwatt has spent over £2500 and maybe £3000 on parts. Then there is the vast amount of work to build it all (lots of it hidden work). A very good deal I think for what will be an amazing truck at the end of it and built by Rockwatt himself
