    I didn't paint the rails yet as I hit a bit of a roadblock, contrary to the info I had and what is now glaringliy obvious the wagon chassis has no tray mounts so I need to get some welded on. This turns out to be a bit of a positive opportunity as I now have the chance to brace the chassis.

    A quick chat with PSR (great to deal with and happy to share knowledge) and a bit of kit is on its way, looks to be substantial. I also ordered a rear coil tower brace kit, it's just to easy to get it done now. The added bonus was PSR have free freight this month! The links below show the kits I ordered.

    Can anyone else think or recommend anywhere else to brace while I'm at it? It will be a bit of an all round ute, farm, outback touring and hitting the occasional track.

    I also spoke to Big O 4x4 in SA about bracing the top of the inner guards and the triangle brace where the inner guard attaches to the firewall, the bloke there who is a bit of a champ told me I don't need it as the early Utes already had a full length horizontal brace and a triangle guard firewall brace, the guards are still on the ute but I could see the horizontal brace through the old snorkel hole.
    In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
