Thanks lads
Hopefully this weekend il be able to finish this and start to think about the front axle, still sating on parts from various places, but I am heading in the right direction now at least.
Trying to figure out how I can make my new front axle stronger, I think il do the same as the rear but try and make the long truss go all the way to the hub, I have rockwatt knuckle gussets on there way to me which are hench !! So hopefully they will stop the swivel housings bending again.

Right I have 10 days to finish the rear winch befor the axle parts get here, going to get the front axle out one night this weeks and take of what I need from the bent axle and move onto cleaning the new and starting to fab up mounts and trusses and gussets ECT. This is the plan anyway.
I have a plan to test through the winter and next year start comping depending how well it holds up !!
Need to start to find me a winch bitch !!
