I couldn;t find anyone that did one off the shelf, so i made it myself..... as long as you can live without the rear box, it's quite simple, just cut the pipe off just behind the rear hanger, and create something to fit where you want it to exit..... i'm sure there would be a market for someone to fabricate something up to sell.....

Will do Jake, don't worry.... thanks to your thread i went out this eve and removed the cups on the rear shock mounts.... big hammer and chisel..!!!

also tweaked my breather manifold to a slightly better location, fitted the cardon prop from D44..:) and also threw in one of my two red top optima's....... not sure if i can fit the second one though, as the snorkel i have (southdown) uses the original inlet into the airbox, which is awkward as it's exactly where the 2nd battery would fit...... :huh:

Still waiting on both bumpers and the tree slider from Golddigger, he's promised them for this weekend...!! after that i have the winch to fit and wire up.... with internal and external switches....:O

i'm not even gonna add up what it'll owe me when done..!!!

Golddigger...... they fix to the chassis legs, and the outer sill skin with rivnuts, a right pig to fit they are too..... and the powder coating on top of the galvanising won;t last 5 mins......  they look right though!!
