You mean you cant see in the 3rd picture the distance between the guard and the center of the wheel hub? I know its a cut guard, but there is still a lot of room there, and its a fair way up that ramp with all 4 wheels on the ground.

Looks great, just a damm pity that mining dump track in the paddock ain't going anywhere!!!

. Not much space between the rear tyre and the body though. Should have cut a bigger hole or dropped the wheels lower!!

They are the diffs of a Uni Mog that the Army use. Have you seen the trucks that carry men, equipement and stuff. It is the diffs out of them.

Just looked at all the pics from the build up, Looks like a floppy piece of shit.
Flexes due to running a linked suspenion,with air bags any truck will get reasonable flex once its linked with coils ,air bags ,ect.
Sorry but i dont like it

the rear has about 2" uptravel, unless he jacks the airbags up when he wants to flex, the tyres would surely just hit the guard.

I remember seeing a video of this driving out of the workshop. sounded cool (3Bturbo?) but looked very scary - nowhere near enough roll stiffness.
VERY difficult to maneuver by the looks of the video.
