Sorry pal no, a week on Thursday would be ok.

However if you are up here this week mind and visit.

[Growler]

Looks like it 's a flying visit (literally) this time round so in and out on the same day unfortunately. Contractor I'm using will be travelling up with me and he's booked the flights already

Will make the next one a stop over in around 2-3 weeks

Think I will chop this surf instead of just tidying it up and selling it.
The pickup will be handy for me and it will give me something to do through the winter.
I know I could buy one but the prices for total sheds are ridiculous.

Sorry for the delay mate been away for a couple of weeks sun.

Not done any serious off roading in almost a year pal, better to make this a work horse and something I can drag around the green lanes in the Lakes once you arrange a camping weekend for the spring

[dannyboy77]

Almost there with the rear bumper. Still to slash cut the ends to match the arch where the red tape is. {thanks to Tony N for sending me the arch}

Then both ends of bottom and top tubes will be capped and spanned with some sort of design on the plate. Not decided what. Brackets are on the truck and need removed and welded to the bumper and I need to decided if I am infilling that step section with Chequer plate or drilled aluminum.

To dark to show on the truck, I will paint and fit it next weekend to get a proper idea of what I like and don't like about it.

Brian, what's the spacing between the two bars on the sides ?

Also would it be possible to put a square plate on the final spacer as it comes round to the back of the truck ? I'm looking to put something like These if they'd fit.

And can you loose the step portion on mine please
