This thread is lacking some update pictures. Get the finger out Danny

Ok ha will do lots of pics tomorrow!! Grinder broke at the weekend only had it a month that's how much I have been using it ha! Lots of metal to cut! The rear winch bumper is proving hard to fit! Got to weld a plate across the back end of the chassis rails then bolt on the rear winch bumper! Have made a cradle for the wich so I can quick release from the back to front winch! In theory it should work!!

Come on Dan, shake a leg, hurry up and get it finished.
We've been getting out probs every other weekend for a couple
of months now (2 pickups, bobbed rangy and a jimney )
Your missing out on all the fun and we need more Toyota's
as we get swamped by green ovals everywhere we go.
Looks like your making steady progress now and looking forward
to seeing it finished.
