Yes thanks Keithy, ready for end of next month hopefully, fingers crossed, etc :laugh:

and thanks Gadget, the red is one of them love it or hate it colours!

Today was a bit of sandblasting on the undersides and onto some paint again. The RC primer from buzzweld on the axle casings, front bumper and undersides of car, then started on the black top. Managed to get the back sides of trailer body, axles, bumper and bonnet plates before running out of the black. More to order then as the car undersides didnt even get a coat yet.

No pics though, sorry!

Your truss looks like a proper job.

The "jacking point" on the Gen4, just happens to be where the casing would be liable to crack. ;) :whistle:

Hi Steve, Yes that looks like something Suzuki have thought about. Their solution is much smaller and lighter than my way (which is actually just a copy of the ones JimnyBits sell).

Is it the same on front and rear axles then?
