why didn't you get in? Not enough votes or it wasn't ready in time?

Yep we didn't buy any mags for that reason normally they don't get enough entrants. Anyway our fault.
The body actually sits over all the tube work.

Its OK there's still a TUFF TRUCK VITARA ,actually competing this year
The new mods looks all as ive been told by a few people .....very
just how much head height is there with the chopped roof and internal cage
....
And remind me again just how much vitara chassis is there
And I recall Paully advertising the 42"s was he dropping in tyre size to the sticky's (ie 39" BFG reds?) or have the new irok stickys landed?
Shame about missing out .....rear steer rigs will dominate again this year and with no rear steer penalty they will be in there element...
Be good to see this on the trails soon ...just keep paully from driving it at Rover park

Looks like the seats are mounted really low so i dont think this will be an issue.

True looks like they have plenty of room even with like 3" cut out with the roof chop .....and the internal ...and its only Paully's head so who cares ....
Does look pimp though ....cough did I say that out aloud

. With Paully driving and Sam naving, head height won't be much of an issue anyway!

It is nice to be able to finally build something from scratch with all brand new parts. There will be close to 500 odd hours in the build.

We went for the Rover over the atlas because of the rear output on the rover case is in a better position beeing offset rather than the Atlas centre rear.Which allow us to run a rear tailshaft at better angles and clearance. Also as we have developed internal disconnects for the rover case i think they are on par with what the Atlas has to offer.

ok sounds good
is it going 2 have a dry sump system in it?
and if so is that the tank behind the seat?

Yes the engine has adry sump as we couldn't get enough clearance for the diffs and that is the tank behind the seat.
