Yeah I noticed that the sj tbox was clocked quite a bit more hence why I want to see a few more pics ;) looks like the two are braced together differently as well so in intrigued.

They are brilliant bits of kit, does yours have a rocklobster as well?

looking very nice indeed.
like to see it finnished.
i too will be painting mine in a nato green matt paint, but not converting it quite as much as yours.
like the winch bumper, i can weld but i doubt my welding skills and welder are good enough to do a strong enough job myself.

i don't think they are ever finnished theres always more to add & mod :hahaha:

all the welding was done with a clarke 151te so you don't need a big welder to do the job :weld:
