Well, it was a great day out in the mud at Holymoorside on the 21st. The guy who came with me was called Sinan, and is big into his photography. I have pulled out SOME of the pictures he took on the day (Yes there are more!) if there is a picture you like with your truck in it let me know in the comments and I’ll send it you in large format.
Obviously, Sinan was with me for the day so there are a lot of photos of my truck, but Ezz’s, Ako’s, a couple of stray Disco’s, a Pajero and some random Quad’s make it into the mix. And a mad dog!
Enjoy, Mark

I decided to  build this truck last Xmas for something to keep me occupied and spend some worthwhile money on (I think that is now an understatement!)
Here’s a detailed write up of what has been going on.
The Chassis-
The chassis Has been welded up now and painted, It has rose joints on the links to the chassis offering a lot of movement compared to standard rubber bushes. The axles are off a range rover classic. I have used bespoke trailing arms at the rear and modified radius arms at the front. I have made mounts on the chassis to accept the radius arms and trailing arms and upper link for the rear axle, Plus new spring mounts on the axles and bespoke suspension turrets on the chassis. Also at the minute it has RR and LR coils (But i will be changing these for softer ones at a later date), the shocks are pro comp es9000,s. The suspension fully dislocates all round with my bespoke dislocation cones that i fabricated. Dazz kindly donated a power steering box from a Mercedes G-wagon as it was just the thing for the job. The chassis has been lengthened by 9″ as the sump was too close to the front diff for my liking. I have custom made the rear bumper/winch trey and purposely made it a little heavier than normal to compensate for the light body on the rear and heavy engine upfront. All the fuel lines and brake line are in. I’ve used braided hoses for the chassis to hub connections all round for the brakes. The main fuel and brake lines are made out of copper with the final fuel connections being standard rubber fuel hose.  I have made a bespoke propshaft for the front which has two wide angle UJ’s. To do this i had a piece of tube machined up to mate the daihatsu prop and slider to the rangey prop.
