40 inch tyres below the sill

Another angle

Got some good flex

 

[Mr K]

But certainly got some trimming to do for full clearance

Erm, scuse the typing, my keyboard is covered in drool! But apart from that, your snorkel hole.. That would make an outrageous exhaust exit.. Just an idea.

A ha. Good thinking.

Yeah looks like an old fighter plane exhaust like that and I thought long and hard to see if it would be possible but I'm afraid not.

Wouldn't work with where the turbo is and would also blue exhaust gas in the passenger window and be even louder than it is now and it is loud! Mot would also not be favourable and I can't have that hassle every year.

Looking at all the options it's probably best to keep it out the back. Plus I still need a snorkel and that is starting to take shape as you can see.

Love your thinking though :thumb2

 

[Mr K]

Another for good luck

Not sure there'll be many fork lift trucks on the lanes to be able to flex like that:lol

 

[Jay666d]

That is some amazing flex!

Looks awesome! I hope to see it in the metal one day! :clap

A few more pics of the rear bumper coming together

 

[Mr K]

Really nice work so far. Petrol tank also getting protection

 

[Mr K]

Closer look.

 

[Mr K]

The lines of the work carry on the lines of the truck and front bar. That's the idea anyway.

The original wheel arches are getting binned.

Last I was off road I caught the rear offside one and pulled it off and also there is something about them I don't like. I think it's the rubber extensions.

These are going to be replaced and the rear bumper bar has to wait until these are on so we can match the bar work up to them.

Coming on nicely:thumb2 what thickness is it?

 

[Mr K]

It's 5mm mainly and 3mm for the rolled edges.

It's all integrated into the chassis for total strength so its as one if you like. :thumb2

 

[Mr K]

Arches have arrived :clap
