Hey, bought another house and moved the MU there, and yeah the body is back off it at the moment, I am just finishing the mounts, got heaps to do... will be getting back into it very soon, will have my license back in 11 days so will be able to get more done. Will keep the pics coming...

The old build is here http://clubisuzu.proboards.com/index.cg ... &thread=72 but most of the pics are gone as I wasn't using photobucket back then....

Did u custom make that drawbar bracket? Mine is bolted underneath the chassis and severely reduces departure angle. What are the strings in the driveshaft flange? Alignment guides? Looks good mate keep it up!!

That picture is the MU with the old hilux SAS and a set of XML 38.5's just sitting next to the 33's. Picture looks better small.

Yeah the tow bar was made from a Nissan patrol one, cut down with new ends, the rear of my patrol chassis is not standard anymore as it was rusted, so it sits down in between the rails. I originally modified this tow bar to sit above the chassis of the MU after the 3" body lift.

No not yet, but I have just started on her again. I have had an engineer around that said I can register it, so I'm trying to get her going around June.
