Thanks Dagzook,

I was actually just searching Amazon for a 4x4 ammo box (the black square boxes with horrible lid clips) and that popped up instead. It's heavy and heavy duty, but exactly what I needed.

This one is called "Nitehawk 50. Cal aarmy ammo metal ammunition surplus storage tool box" on amazon, I think it cost me £10.

It has been a while! I've been at sea so unfortunately couldn't play. 


I took it off jack stands, reconnected the battery and fired straight up. 

I gave it a wash, installed the gas struts I bought while away and bought a new dashcam as the Amazon one was rubbish.

I also bought and installed eezi awn maxtrax holders, and a bottle opener. 

I replaced the online cheap fog lights for (far too expensive) IPL ones, they are pretty good quality.

I realized I'm not young like I used to be and and can't climb up and jump off the roof rack anymore. 

I installed an eezi awn rear ladder. Really chuffed with it.

I went for a drive up a hill, loving the look of this bad boy   .

Finally got one of the "last" additions I've wanted (I say last, we all know it won't end). 


BFG KO2 A/T 215/75/R15. 

I'm very impressed, I barely notice the difference driving. Extremely minor power reduction, however I really have to concentrate to notice it. I was worried about this when planning to fit the BFG's, but glad to be proven wrong.
