inch shock absorbers, all round. Bailey Morris extended HD propshafts were fitted and both the gearbox and transfer box were fully reconditioned by Synchro Gearboxes.
• Heavy-duty steering bars, front castor correction arms (3 degrees) and double-cranked rear arms were fitted to a heavy-duty A-frame, from Adrenalin 4x4.
• The exhaust was modified for a side exit. A Superwinch 9.5 electric winch was fitted, along with a snorkel from South Down Engineering. • The wheels (16-inch deep dish steel modular, painted black) and 37-inch Trepador mud tyres were from Bardills Tyres, of Stapleford. Four 40 mm wheel spacers were used, and extra-wide spats were fitted to the wings to accommodate the extra width.
• All bushes were replaced with a set of orange Polybushes ("to match the paintwork!" laughs Carl)
• The rear tub – the only original body part – was lined with black- painted checquer plate, as were the wing tops and bonnet.
• Extra LED lights, a waffle board and Hi-Lift jack complete the external spec. GREY, £19,995
