I went the long way to work today. Not real happy with the rear of the car so might look into a 4 link set up

Lockers will take about 6 months.
I am about to fit the transfer from a auto jimny so that will take care of the gearing issues.
Then I want to fit a joe blow full floating rear diff conversion with 4 wheel disc brakes, upgraded front axels and CVs will be done at the same time. Will be fitting SJ assian FW hubs as well as I find 2wd low to be very handy when reversing trailers.

Did a bit of a wrap on the bonnet, might get some more and do the rest of the car.

I reckon you should do the roof and tailgate. Leave the sides silver. Kudos for doing something a bit unusual.

Also fitted a haymon reese receiver style tow bar

Hey Shep, did you keep this bumper as in your latest photos it doesn't look like you did. Any other photos or this bumper by the way?

Not fitted yet, still need to make some seal caps and paint it. Hopefully finish it next weekend.
I am doing a 8000km drive with my camper trailer next month so have been getting everything ready for the trip.
