[Pissy]

NICE
You getting any rubbing in front wheel arch? I imagine that 3" body lift should stop any rubbing that 2" body lifts still can have?

[Drurban]

Nah I get no wheel rub at all only on the odd occasion when Iam in full lock and contending with ruts, but it is very slight.

have you got any pic of how the winch bar is attached to the chassis? wha about front tow hooks?

Nice one, why did you remove the carpet ???

[geeves]

With tracks like Thompsons I can understand the lack of carpet. These 2 pics were taken after 4 months of no rain. My wifes hand is on the drain for this mud hole The second hole is still full of water and a stick didnt find a solid bottom

Hi Demonic,

Sorry for the delay I have not been on here for awhile, I will find or take some photos of how it is mounted, I have used the original fixing points plus added a new hole so in total 6 bolts 3 each side.
