If this breaks, are you gonna eat your hat again? safe bet this time :D
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Right the axle case is primed, knuckles cleaned, side gears are on the way from mr Robbie !! Big thanks again for that pal, much appreciated.

Hopefully tomorrow the diff can go off to be built by Steve Francis my diff builder (god of diff building)

Then build the axle up. Need some new seals and stuff but may have to bash old ones in it for now. We shall see !!

My fading interest in the Motor industry isn't helping my suzuki. Really can't be bothered with it at the moment.

I managed to finish the axle casings a few weeks back and prime it. Still waiting on my diff builder who's been away on holiday. Next I will need to order another battery, kill switch and then lots of power cables to power the rear winch.

Then I need to fit an engine kill switch as well, doing a challenge series next year hopefully so this is part of the requirements.

May have bought some bigger tyres as well......

Bigger tyres again?? haha nice work :)

Those are going to be some very long and fat cables to power the winch at the back!
