2014 and your trucks?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Sort out all my wiring for spotlights and stereo, maybe a snorkel and take her off road

Build up new rear axle with truss that doubles as YJ perches, fit it with ARB locker with Vit ring and pinion and full float.

Make YJ mount kit with built in HD front bumper to match rear.

Strengthen front axle.

Fit it all and stick on 33s.

Finally get round to fitting snorkle and finishing dash panel gauges and locker/compressor switches.


Enjoy!

Must mean a psychotic dachshund then.

More importantly would it be a road legal mental toy?

Cut it, make 35's fit.

Use it in challenge series.

Cry about it when it breaks.

Fix it.

Repeat.
