Bit of a bolt on build with this one, have to build the rock sliders though.
Collecting winch tomorrow, winch max brand got it second hand only 3 months old though. Lots of little bits still to do.

Wow thats amazingly rust free, Great add on so far.

 

[Daemo]

Winch collected and fitted. Going to remote mount the solenoid pack.. Plasma rope and hawse fairlead also being fitted.. Really dont like winch colour but 3 months old and less than half the price so i will live with it.. Also had to trim the grill which grieved me a little as they are hard to find..

Started on the sill protectors/step for the missus!! today. Had a few bits and pieces kicking around in the garage which was free so tried to use as much of that as possible..

Had some ally which came off van rear steps that were being scraped so thought i would use it instead of checker plate..

Possibly could have made them a little longer but to late now, think they will do the job, its more for the missus to get in as shes a little short in the leg...

Started on chassis mounts but not quite there yet need another day on them, then paint everything.

What a build! :clap

I Love the front bumper! :thumb2

 

[Daemo]

Ok here we go for an update, started driving her now and i am really pleased with everything, she's really quiet with hardly any road noise from the tyres, road driving is lovely and she certainly doesnt feel 26 years old.. Took a mate out in it today and he is in love with her.. So as she was sitting for a while before i bought im putting some road miles on to find any problems, looks like both front calipers could do with a rebuild as i think they are slightly seized as its pulling a bit so might do all four as the rebuild kits are cheap..

Anyway more pics.


Side steps on and finished, pretty sturdy.

RAPTOR Land rover 90 dash looks epic which i picked up at the Land rover show today, couldnt have asked for a better fit over the moon with that, can even use the fitting bracket that comes with it to mount it.

That's a mighty fine looking truck. I won't want to get it dirty!

 

[Daemo]

Thanks guys, got a couple of trips planned as a shake down in a few weeks but the lanes are pretty dry at the mo round here.
Got to organise the boot space somehow to take all my recovery gear etc..

It's crying for a Safari roof setup :naughty

 

[Daemo]

Got fed up with my new not so cheap chinese replacement mirrors for the nissan so made some adapters to fit some landy ones.

Also properly fitted the raptor dash and hard wired winch in.
