Wings and PanHards On

Wings back on with the bumper now and looks a lot better (ignore the skippo bag to the left lol)

Rear Panhard Rod on and adjusted, image looks a little odd because of the bent chassis end

Closer look of the adjustment, added approx 1.25" onto the length to get the centre point of the tire to the chassis to match on both sides

The front went on a bit easier and there was only a slight adjustment here

While I was underneath I secured the exhaust from flapping around as well.

Winch Bumper On

So the winch bumper arrived and after looking at it for a while I figured out how to fit the thing.

It took a little while to align it properly on my own so I'd suggest you get an extra pair of hands if you can,

Now I'll either have to put back on the wings or else cut the bumper......I think I'll cut the bumper to make it nice and tidy, then again I might try the wings back on first before I make up my mind.

The mounting plate has 3 large 12.5mm bolts on the side and 2 10mm bolts on the front of the chassis legs, then the bumper is mounted with a further 3 12.5mm bolts on each side.

The nice thing is that by removing the two upper bolts the bumper can swing down to gain access to install the winch, or to do maintenance on the winch.

Battery Tray

 Battery Tray installed, some slight banging off the negative terminal when closing the bonnet :(

3" Lift, Wing Removal, New Boots

Finished off the 3" Lift Kit yesterday

Here you can also see that I removed the front wings so the wheels will not be rubbing plus it allows for easier installation of the roll cage.
