Trailer - challenge truck build

Nice work.
I've been racing through my Disco ready for B+W too. Although I only had to fit a light-bar and a 2" lift kit!!

Haha and you don't 'have' to fit them I still need to fit seats, radiator, handbrake, you know not very important things

Wiring is almost done (cheers dad)
Intercooler pipe work is done
Oil cooler is sorted
All bodywork is secure
Paint prep is ongoing

The rear rad is almost done


Now should the hotter water go to the top or the bottom ? Or doesn't it really matter ?

Hot at botom might aid movement as heat rises

I'd put it at the top, the way its meant to be

Has a look at the vehicles in the yard and the pump pipe is at the bottom so that's how I'm doing it

Rear plumbing done sorry about the crap photos it's dark now



It's a 2.5 NA radiator as its big ! Haha and in good condition and I had it lying around so why not I'm using the oil cooler off of the auto box from the disco for the engine oil and mounting it high up behind the grille

Better pic of the rear rad


Ignore the header tank that's not in it's final place yet

Ive got a tank from a 206.. its round and a bit better shaped. The lr one is a bit awkward imo. Looking good mate, how long you think until finished?

I may be wrong but I think the upper ones usually go to the bottom of the hoop. But unsure about the others.
