Haha, no it's not fading that's merc 2pack red !! Better not fade, it was dirty before it went, and still is now. There's areas which are dented now, so I may do a coulour change anyway. Probably go for yellow. Which is what I wanted originally but changed my mind last minute.

No it's cool Scottie the centre of the diff was machined instead so I didn't need them :) thanks anyway though pal :)

Hopefully go playing again this weekend. We shall see :)

Mike.

Umm not sure about the colour yet.

Dont know how tall, tows well though, I strap the front and rear recovery points down, rather than round a wheel. Stops the body rolling :) line lock on its not going anywhere with the brakes jammed on.

It touches my garage door going in, so that's 7 ft, 2/2.5ft trailer height? Is quite large. Rar axle is as wide as my trailer 6.6ft wide. She's a big old girl.

:) running this on the road isn't really an option. It's to slow and big. Plus the fact I wouldn't want to wear the tyres out and most of the sites I go to take me an hour in my navara.

She's a trailer queen now, the other issue is I don't fuck about when I am offroading so the likely hood of me breaking it is quite high !! It's a bit big to push home lol :)

My plan now is to fit the rear winch, second charging system ect. Good service and fix a furling issue it has.

Then the prep begins for next years challenges :)
