Hi all new to this forum. Just thought I'd start a build thread on my truck I bought about 6 months ago I'm planning to use it for work and playing.
Here it is now so far I've only fitted some bigger tyres I had lying around (265/70/16) but I'm hoping to go bigger yet.
Removed the back seats so I can chuck more kit in side.
I'm also in the process of building a flatbed to replace the rear tub. Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Sounds like a great project about to start lol.
Are you going to increase power? What is the plan inside?
Oh, and is your tailgate still good? I could do with a straight one

Hi @Asalt why not come along to the meet and see a few modded trucks and hit some mud

and some unmodded ones too, cough...

Lol that goes without saying he might get some ideas for his project

I know it all looks heavy but its not as bad as it looks and at least it should stand up to a few bashes.

looking good whats the plans for the rest

Cheers. Just make it up as i go along.lol.going to paint it in thatraptor paint I think see if it's any good.

ha ha i like that policy! acid etch it first or epoxy prime then raptor and it will last forver

I was thinking use it for a bit in case I want to change anything. Then get it blasted then paint but I'll get some epoxy primer on it before the raptor now. Lol. One of my plans is to rig up a vice to go in the rear sockets.

That rear ends not goanna break in a rush.

good idea on the vice, what do u do for work then Ash

I would guess Engineering / metalworker welder

Yes. Engineering got my own welding /fab business.

Looking good - look forward to some pics of the trial fit.

So the trial fit has turned in to more of a permanent fit for now as I decided after getting the tub off it would be easier just to go for it now. Here's it is so far. I had to make some changes to the lights as it wasn't going to work as it was not sure wether I like it or not might make some changes to the lights. See how it looks when I fit them.

And I was thinking of doing a 2 inch body lift first. Need to do some thing with the tow bar aswell as it looks a bit daft now I was thinking of boxing in the end chassis and fitting a receiver hitch so I can change it for a NATO hitch or recovery eye

looking good mate

I have a receiver on my truck love it means I can change hitches when i need to made a few different hitches

big ass drop plate to tow the horses
normal tow ball
recovery eye
table for camping slots in
cycle carrier

Cheers there so many possibilities I hadn't thought of there with the receiver

the list could be endless! seen winches on a plate shoved into the receiver too! oh man mow I know what i wanna do next!
