Haven't touched this for a while due to work and started to see a little rust appearing so thought it best to chuck some paint at it.


Front Bumper is cut out to fit the Rc4wd Viking Fairlead.


CMS mount on one side, Panhard Link Mount on the Other and a Bracket going across for the Servo Winch to hide.

Why you're Made the cms @ the other part of the chassis panhard mount? Are you sure this will be right and without any bump steer?

It's a good job that the Two Parts are interchangeable side to side then

If you notice, it's a bolt on, not welded. I asked for detail on this and I'm pretty sure a lot of thought process went into this build. I have all the confidence in Dready.

A lot of thought yes
but I did bolt it on the wrong side by accident
I blame the Hot Weather we are having at the moment in England...

Because in england you drive in the wrong side of the road, so your pitman comes on the right

Roughly 10% of People in the World are Left Handed, what does this have to do with driving on the left well i'll explain.

If you are Right Handed this tends to be the hand/arm that you do the most with, it is therefore stronger than the left.
I'll continue...
Right Arm does the Steering Left Arm does the Shifter, now you cant have a shifter on the left Hand Side of a Car so lets put it in the Middle hang on the Steering Wheel then has to go on the right then.

So Steering on Right equals driving on the Left for obvious Overtaking and Safety concerns.

Simple.


Unless you drive on Dead Straight Roads where steering isn't an issue?
You lot can sit on the left!!

Very nice thought and consideration....
As you can see from the nickname part of my parents are from Seychelles, where we drive on the left, so no problem of both the side....
But I don't Understand why the drive things are not UNIficated.. right or left...

Update time and after lots of headscratching I think I can make the Roof and Doors Removeable in One Piece more of that later.

Rear Bed's been started


That slides over this piece and will bolt with Scale Bolts.
The Removeable arches will tie all the sides in.




Attached all 4 doors are tied together at the top


And also got the Roof Pretty much straight

And that gets stuck to the other piece, Started to cut the windows out and we're finally making progress on this build.

Wow! Between this and your 4-runner, you've been super busy

It's turning out very slick, making it to my liking. Your ideas are brilliant and thank you for sharing. Very pleased with the whole build so far. Thanks again
