It's about time I did something like this, it won't be coming thick and fast like others but I plan on doing some quality mods to my baby. Here are some pics of when I first got him :thumb2

On the right hand side of the photbucket page you have 4 options below the "share this photo" legend.

Go to IMG, the 4th in the list.
Copy the code.
Paste it in the dialogue box of the forum and Bob's your aunty's live in lover,



I can't see how you resize them as they're rather large...


I'd also look at a way of trying to keep other photos private too, for future reference as I can see all 10, sorry 26, photos you have up there.

EDIT: Found the resize. In the gallery you have an option to edit, in there you can resize. 600 for the longest side should be sufficient for the forum.

Are you having any recovery points welded to the tow bar :thumb2

I haven't decided, I don't really want to buy a tap and mess about with all that when I could put some tiger seal round and pop rivet it on, tiger seal by itself will do the job really!!

Not yet, I'm having a drop plate on it and I'm going to see if I can make a recovery point to put on in place of the tow bar, I wasn't sure I made the right choice but I can always have some added.
It's having a plate made for the bottom so it doesn't scoop half the country up when I'm off roading and he's gonna put some extra welds in other places cos thats what he's like, says they'd skimped on welds, looked ok to me tho

I will be using tiger seal to seal it :thumbs
