the nice touch with these is the option to winch/drive/drive assist or a combo or any of the above, less lever pulling keeps it simple (I REALLY need simple)

the rear wings are self tapper'd to the bodyshell along the horizontal, rivetted to the shell at the front vertical - theres a fair dollop of panel sealant in there too, you will have to drill out the rivets that hold the rear quarter pods to the shell (open the lower tailgate and you will see them ...

the manifold is standard 2.8 cut and welded, the pipework is just ally pipe with a few silicone elbows chucked in.
The ram bars tie into the front hoop for the roll cage so the firewall is left stock other than making new footwells to clear the tyres at full articulation. The lights are recessed ...
