i have just been out trying to fit my drop boxes (and the rest of my 3" lift) into my 99 GU 4.2 Wagon.

i have got all 8 gearbox crossmember bolts undone and the 2 little 12mm bolts ontop and the passenger side drops down enough to get the drop box in but the drivers side wont drop from the chassis
is there something obvious ive forgot to undo or loosen??
ive given up for the night now and will give in another crack tomorrow in the light.
any help appreciated

got the 3rd boldt out and all went good after that.
thanks for your help

top 12,mm bolt was under a layer of mud so it couldnt be felt from underneath until you chiseled the mud off.

Cheers
