Anyone know/remember H847 NNO? Red/green camo style.

Hi I've just bought an sj from eBay. It has heaps and heaps of paper work with it and in there I found a list of mods it has. It has had a lot of time and money spent on it and it says in one eBay advert of it that the bloke that built it has over 500 photos of the build.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows it or remembers it. I think he owned it from at least 2004-2010. The reg is in the title and it was green and red camo (although someone's has now hand painted it beige). From eBay I think I can tell his name is Jody Arch and he is from Bedford. I has a lot of other mods but a couple that might help you remember..
Vitara engine
Vitara rear axle
Side exit exhaust
Roll cage
33" bronco grizzlies

I know it's a long shot but I was hoping that I'd maybe be able to find a build thread or something similar. I could upload pics of it now but I can't do it through iPad or iPhone so if anyone wants to upload for me that would be brilliant :)

Thanks Chris

I also noticed how close the tyres where to the chassis but the further the wheels go into the arch the further away they get. I had to try because I was worried they would touch.

I got it through an MOT. All I need to do for now is give it a service, a lick of paint and then try and get the winch working.

Anyone heard of Ramsey REP5000? I'm new to offroading so don't know a great deal. Always looking to learn though.

I don't recognise it but it looks pretty nice! Straight and solid too so that's a bonus!

Ramsey winches are good quality winches, it probably just needs a good strip down clean and service.
