Yeah, I've got some floating around somewhere on photobucket I think, will find them and post in a link. Bit old, but will update them soon when I finish the camper and hit the deserts in august (if they're not lakes by then

)

Nice looking forby mate.Nothing wrong with black for a 4wd. I've got two black Discos, may show up the dust a bit more but mud and sloppy stuff looks the same on any vehicle.

I recognise that cat in a hat. Haven't been living in the UK recently, have you?

Slowly coming together.

Did a ball joint flip and wound up the torsion bars yesterday, in for a wheel alignment today to fix the camber. Lifted a bit over 40mm in the front to compliment the 50mm lifted leaves fitted in the back last week

I'll be crossing one thing off my wish list next week. Long range tank is in the couriers hands on it's way for delivery. Yeah!!!
