I think you may have a few issues with your steering box .. I know liquid nails seemed like a good idea at the time .. I have been tempted to use it myself :) But sometimes you really need to use high tensile bolts :shock:

Nice rig. What size tires you running?

Looks like your rear axle has been moved back?

Its had the rear 300mm or so cut off the chassis which might make it look like the axle has been moved back.

Spike - that axle has been moved back, but it's all been done with the springs. See how much of the spring is visible in front of the rear wheels? On a stock sierra an equal amount of spring will be visible fore and aft of the tyre.

I'm not convinced the chassis has been cut but I could be wrong.

your right steve. the rear was moved back using mazda springs with a custom top leaf. i believe the chassis had a minimal amount trimmed off. and yes the tray has had about a foot taken off.
i love this ute. reliable, practical and i don't think he has ever broken a thing. and best of all its still a ute. still capable of taking a wheely bin to the tip or a load of wharever for the garden.. did i say i love this ute :)

Yeah Steve, had another look at it and you are right. I think i am getting confused with the LWB tub chassis and the LWB ute chassi regarding the chop.

I like the look of it, I personally wouldnt have shortened the tray as it looks a little stumpy IMO. I love everthing else though. I am not a fan of flat trays without sides, it just seems to defeat the purpose, as it just means you have to tie everything down.

I agree that tray looks a bit short. It could have been a plank longer (6") without hurting capability and it would have made the car look more balanced.

Love the custom shackle reversal, think you went a bit overboard on the front towers though and approach angle has suffered as a result.

The gaps will be filled with some ali checker plate, good move? i just dont like seeing the gap :?

possibly GRPABT1, but its our first build, steep learning curve, and as its still SPUA we can go SPOA and halve the "fangs" if need be ;) not totally stoopid :lol:
