Looks a beast pal ! You got any pics of your rear arch chopping ? I did my fronts other day and fiber glassed the bumper to the arch to hold it in place how have you done the back ?

Unfortunately i've only got the pics of the front chopped. I just did the same with the back. Took the arch plastic off and attacked it with an angle grinder. took it to the clips then lined it with body trim tape and clipped it back in. Then drilled a few holes and cable tied the bumper to the arch plastics just keeping it in place. I think Gary did a guide in the forum how to's :).

31's should fit fine under a 3" lift with the correct trimming with no issue's :)

Brilliant how tall do your special tracks stand? And I've done what you've done with arches, metal inner gone and plastic trimmed an inch

I've never measured them properly only that they are 31s

Could do a proper measure when i get home.

Yeah that works. Angle grinding Attack is the best way ;)

Mount/Guard came today from Richard from RockWatt. It looks bad ass. Would take a lot to hurt this anyway haha. Can't wait to get this fitted and running.

Paint was from ebay :) There is a link on page 3 of this thread to which paint it is. i just used a normal soft roller from wicks to put it on. It's actually pretty scratch resistant to. I've just had to touch the car up from a few knocks and bangs (Garble moan stupid friends) but the colour matches well even being touched up because of it being matt :).

Hope this helps.
