Pic: I need mud tyres
Heres a quick pic of EVLHRBY on New Years eve. I was buy myself with not a single friend in town (everyone went to darwin)
3 hours, 4 pairs of thongs and possibley some swamp cancer I dug him out.
Also, i took this pic ages ago but now its really become relevant.
My strut brace/winch mount we did when we got him. We've also welded new 3mm plate around the other side of the bars (in the wheel arch).

A prop attached 2 the end of your crank/pulley like a schwimmwagen or how ever its spelt

nice winch bar, provided you have a suitable thing 2 use with it, seems like theres abit of torsion bar envy hidden in the design aswell, you would
think its the wet season by the looks of your place too

Yeah... getting about 100mm a night lately. Really fukin wet.
Torsion bar? Pffftt.. Struts FTW! I did it like that with 2 bars to take a bit of twist out of the front and to give me good mounts for the whinch. I
really wanted to take a bar backwards and fix it to teh 'firewall' but there nothing with enough meat to weld to. Im sure its ok as it is. Something
else will surely brake before the body bends.

true, im a strut type myself remember, i figure a good super's gotta go up in value eventually, same goes for bays, might i suggest you make a bar
from the roll over bit ot the windscreen frame, either one in the center or one on each side, would be alot more structurally sound that way, mite be
an idea to figure out a way to do a body lift on a super aswell, never heard of that being done before, mite prove useful to you

Body lift would be ok, but i really need to lift teh suspension. Ill raise the rear a spline or so and then get to working modding the strut towers
for a little more hight. Really need to wait untill i have the rims made made and the tyres i want so i can workout how high i need to take
everything.
