Absolutely loved reading this project, I'm starting mine tomorrow which our lass isn't to happy or hopeful about the whole ordeal but she knows me well and will try my hardest to get it done. Anyways onto the question, I've been looking at mine and if I'm going to take about 16 - 17" of the back...

I've noticed that also. Maybe because he isn't a member anymore or he's not been on for a while. Shame like I would've loved to see the finished product.

well ive only got 80 x 40mm box. i suppose it will have to do. if i do weld the box to the mounts, i may have to weld some more plate on to the back and then it will be able to be weldable. like i said the body mounts need replacing so will mate these up as and when.

well its come to the time of sill replacement on my 200tdi disco. The way im going to do this is not the usual way, but to replace the sills with rock/tree sliders. Now the question on my mind is can i cut the sills out and replace the sills with the rock/tree sliders. i have had a brief look at...

well youll never believe it but bought some used but like new swivel balls, for a 10er haha anyways i am going to get the kits bought for both sides and will do the jobs. will keep you posted.
