Done a bit more chopping and tinkering..

I lowered chassis rails and body mounting I fabricated this gave me a lower body mount point and increased the ground clearance of the skid plate.

I also mounted all electrics up front to give me better weight up front.

I then placed rear shocks at an angle this gave me more articulation on the rear and made for more flex so I plan to add a slight angle to the front shocks..

Mk 4 as it stands

I also have now my scout 2.2 up for grabs would like to swap them for some 1.9 ideally.

Still I alot of tinkering to do but its coming to be what I think is a great looking and handling rig..

looking at 35t motor with and change gears to 20t pinion and 80t spur this should give me more wheel speed and plenty of torque.

I am getting biggaz to make me some bumpers (roll bar also fingers crossed) in the near future and plan to add a light bar on the cab roof if not mount to roll bar/cage.

still got water resisting to do so I can hit the odd puddle stay tuned for more thanks for reading.
