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.

Hello to you all,
Well our Shottle ‘Challenge Event’ came and went. Did we pull it off? Yes. Did it all go according to plan? Most definitely. Was it worth all the planning and hard work getting ready for it? Absolutely!
Firstly I, and I’m sure everyone who took part, would like to say a big thank you to the following people who helped with this event, Byron for the idea originally, and weeks of hard work planning behind the scenes with me, Mick Bell for helping set out the red punches, Gaz, Little Andy, Pete and Bob, Calla and (beaver) Mark who all put in the whole of Saturday setting out trial sections and punches, and marshalling the event on Sunday. (and if you don’t mind i’d also like to give myself a pat on the back for my part!!), and finally Shrek for getting out there and pushing the event outside the club.

Only taken nearly 2years to get this far. Just some paint on the body , inner rear wings to make and some minor fettling to finish off. About another years worth of work to do at the speed i go.

The Japanese Eye project was overtaken by another buggy build which took place before breakfast, there is an odd mix of tyres but that’s all Chloe could find on the lounge floor.
It has to be said though that the approach and departure angles are in fact spot on.
We were thinking the driver was modeled on (Gnatus Brainus) (Callum)?
