Also, I reckon if you're getting the chassis Galv'd, leave the front ARB mounts on if they're not in the way, easier to cut them off in future than try to add back in and weld on top of galv!
I would say pretty impressive starting like that after 3 months ive said it before but your knowledge around them is pretty dam good looking forward to seeing what you do with it 🤙🏻🏴
Hi mate...it was pretty impressive that the struck started that easily after standing that long but luckily the solar panel on the roof does keep the batteries well charged...but it should be a pretty good build as it goes along.
Just starting my own project for "retirement" an L200 single cab hopefully to become a 6x6 camper/tourer considering a left hand drive conversion to avoid Herr Starmer and his cronies is the discarded winch available, maybe you will retain it for other projects?
Hi...a 6x6 L200 would be an amazing looking truck as i have always wanted to build a 6x6 and the left hand drive conversion is not a bad idea and the winch has already gone..
Were the rock-sliders bought or fabricated? Just fitted a pair to my D2 and, honestly, I think bolting them to the sills is a bit questionable (although, TBH, they're really just intended to replace my rusty OEM sidesteps) but, if they bolted to the chassis, the outriggers would need to be like girders before they'd be more useful than the ones that bolt to the sills. I'm kind of interested to see how rock-sliders fit to things like Jeeps or Land Cruisers. Maybe the chassis rails on other vehicles are wider apart so there's less leverage on the sliders? It's not a big deal for me cos, as I said, I really just need them to work as sidesteps so I can reach the roof.
Hi mate the rock sliders were a set that i bought that originally bolted to the sills but i think that is a terrible idea so i chopped that off and made them so they bolted to the outriggers as i don't need a set to be rocksliders as i need them to be a set of side steps for getting in and our of vehicle and up to the roof tent. so the next set are proably going to be aluminium and just be side steps to save weight.

Hi Andy..should be a good build mate we have got lots of new things planned.

Hi glad you enjoyed the episode this should be a great build series with a few surprises along the way
Glad Ted wasn't squashed by the winch! Looking forward to seeing this come together

Hi..we could never let anything happen to Ted he is always kept well safe even though he sticks his nose in places he should not be..
You are probably right with that one i think i am gonna leave the ARB mounts in place as you never know.
