I'm a big fan of this build, thanks a lot for posting it. I actually really like the look of the narrower bed, a bit like a scaled down version of this haha! All the best with it.

Yeah cycle wings are the ones mounted to the axle not the body.

My green laner build
2003 Jimny - M16 engine - 4.16 TC - Winch - Snorkel - 30x9.5 Maxxis MT-764 tyres on 15x7 ET-7 offset wheels - 4" lift - Rear floating axles and discs
Looking good Riccy, chopped Jimnys look ace. Surprised how rusty it was for a 2006, must have spent its life somewhere with a lot of salt!
Wasn't sure about the narrow tub on the back at first but think it would look good once it's got some arches fitted

Good old machine mart where having one of their VAT free deal days today, so nipped in this morning for some new toys.
Top of the list was a gas mig welder. Nice little clarke 135turbo welder bought, along with some gas and wire. Excellent little machine, much neater welds than the no-gas mig I was using and much better weld penetration. Not as much need for grinding, with practice maybe even no grinding :laugh: Forgot to take a pic of it but suffice to say im happy with it.
Also on the list was a clarke 12ton pipe bender with dies from 1/2 inch up to 2 inch. Another great, simple machine.
Had some 3/4" tube in stock so messed around with making some rear mud guard rails. Pretty happy with the results so far. Will mean theres a nice step behind the rear wheels (big enough for a 20L jerry can, although I dont think its legal to strap a can of petrol to the outside of the car in the UK).

Looks great Riccy, I've seen some jerry cans converted to lockers with a keyed door way cut into them. Be great for shackles and strops.
You could even house a compressor in one, mini bar.... the possibilities are endless..... They certainly would look the part on that rail.....
An ammo box and a jerry can......
