also got alot of the bodywork done so it wont be long now

Some real progress made for sure ..............

Looking good mate. I've just started to do mine last week. Hopefully will be at this stage soon. What diameter and thickness of steel are you using for the cage?

The tube is 2" O/D with a 3mm wall, i was going for blue band seamless but its only a laner and couldnt justify the money :blush: RW transferbox is painted up along with the cradle and ready to go in but still havent managed to source a SJ mid and front prop to fit.. back axle is all painted ready to be fitted after the arms and bushes get here
Then do the front :whistle:

list of things to do
-mount winch in the tray and wire in
-tart up both axles and refit
-wire in rear lights and spot lights
-paint paint paint paint paint

There's a guy on eBay selling the props you need. £95 for both delivered I was quoted!!!

I need a front and the middle props off a 413/sammy.. what would you be asking for it?

I ended up putting a 1/2" spacer in the 'mid-prop' when I fitted my Rockwatt box and cradle as the output from the main gearbox was out by a little way.. works great though I'm well chuffed with his stuff.

My sj prop is the 8mm bolt one with slightly narrower spacing than the big 10mm versions. Depending on what flanges you have you can swap ends or may have to re-drill flanges suit. My lobster had a mix of flanges so i swapped the small end from the jimny front prop with the small end on the sj to match up. I would have only needed to drill my rear diffs then but needed a new uj, so i swapped that end for the one on the jimny rear prop so it all matched up.

Im pretty sure rockwatt said that the box has correctly drilled flanges il have a measure up

Been spending again :laugh:
-bush set
-4 arms
-h/d tb mounts
-prop spacer
-new radius arm bolts
-6 micro spotlights for the cage, 4 forward facing and 2 rearward

Looks good but id send them spot lights back i had them on mine id of been better off holding a candle lol
