Think you did well swapping a frontera for that...

Underneath is good it must have had wax oil from new I was shocked iv got a very small bit of welding to do and the door seals are box section now that will out last the truck, I'm going to strip all underneath sand and rust treat it all and spray different colours

Got it off swapz the chaps misses was 4ft nothing and couldn't get in and out lmao my frontera was a 2.2dti lwb with a snorkel and light bar i paid 1000 for the truck and spent about 600 on parts I did loads of work to the engine as I like to play even if nothing is broken their I'd always something to strip and clean or a part to upgrade

Not good when you have to get rescued by the kids lol

Nice disco man! what are the two wires for that were on the bonnet/light bar tho?!

They push the branches out the way when travelling through woods and tight paths, just pushes them up and over

I laughed at the pic of you getting towed! haha you know those wires are illegal to use on roads even though they look cool
