Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Ok the Smittybilt finally met the Warn last night
Very Very impressed with the quality of this rope, especially the fact it had rope protectors at each end!
For those of you asking about the curve of the letters on the bonnet
So this afternoon went thus...............
Prop off...
The fairlead turned up yesterday, so I fitted it and moved the numberplate.
Just waiting on the rope now
The Smittybilt turned up yesterday
All the way from Compton California
One things for certain, it cant stay looking like that
Then I decided to fabricate my thingamabob
A sticker update
I Put the new winch stickers on
Its not finished yet, but almost
Then came the bonnet lettering

The gap between the top of the steering guard and bumper has now been filled
ooh and they work
I also spent some time...
Next the 2" lift had to go on and HD bumper, Snorkel and Diff guards needed to be fitted so a weekend was arranged with the nice chaps Steve, Cruiser, Danny and Rover Man
Rumour has it Ernie is still full after Mrs Hoovers Breakfast
More bits ready for the weekend
The box...
I bought this
After removing the PITA rear seats I fitted some storage boxes and the dog guard.

some nork blocked up the sunroof drain holes...
Well folks here are a few pics of Humphrey.
I bought him as a standard spec Adventurer, as a road only car to compliment my 300tdi Defender which I was rebuilding on a new Galvanised chassis at the time.
