It annoys me so much this is just sitting in my garage, I'm getting the hump with it now not having time to finish it and use it.

I just stripped and serviced my axles. Such a boring job and it just looks the same afterwards.

That's why il do it last :)

Driving it the other evening after work round the farm, makes me chuckle :)

My dads customers have been coming and saying what's that thing !!

Don't expect it to be in a workshop full of old jeeps.

I've stopped pretty much working Saturdays now, which should help with things. Next major hurdle is saving up for the cage and a proper rear winch again, I've also got to start thinking about spares packages to take to challenges with me.
