I just love the look of stretched SJ's.
I SOOooooo wish you could drive one of those on the road in the UK. I'd have the grinder out today.
Keep it up, it's looking
I'd have a minor concern using something from China on my brakes, but it's only fiddle brakes so not totally safety critical I suppose.

Its called a stinger I do believe, its supposed to stop you doing a forward roll
Sid James gone but never forgotten
Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

Love this build...pretty much the perfect way to build, simple and strong.
What engine is it running? not sure if I missed it or it just wasn't mentioned?

410 atm but 1.6v coming soon. He will not say but when we went out the other day he just floated over obstacles that other rigs struggled on. It is a great car but don't tell Ektoz I said that :-)
