Note to all, don't use that gasket gunk stuff this had it in it and 50% of the Engine block cooling holes were fully blocked others less blocked but none the less not good.

Haha yeah mate, I've actually got patrol docta solids in it, the sliders had had it. Checker plate woulda looked tough, but I did the windows in feb when I painted it.i got the winch from aldi for 399, it's a 9500lb winch, should be more than enough. I had to modify the bullbar to fit it but I squeezed her just in. Hopefully the snorkel will be fitted and polished up tomoz and the head will be done and ill for it back on. I'm stuck working on this beast tonight we jut put a new motor in today:

rear recovery
Yo mate PM if you want one of these in red or black, rated as well. That loop at the back is NOT rated and will break. Also have rated front ones as well, check vendor thread, but great build up just make sure you have the good gear on it eh
These are the originals too not cheap copies. Buy with confidents

Looks great mate, Those types of snorkles look schmick..
