I don't suppose those leafs in the background are 1ton jobbies are they?

I decided to change my dislocation cones as i lost one when my spring fell off while green laneing. Iv'e decided to attach my home made cones to the axle, but havn't tested them yet.

Started the rear of the tray back now just need to decide a hight to have the tray, im going to take the spring out and lift the wheel as high as it will go so i can build the tray just abit above that hight.

i started the roll cage last night. you can see it coming through the body. its a bit wonky tho, so need to play with it tonight. But for a first roll cage for someone with 0 experience its OK.
