No plan for them to be honest. I've never had one fail so haven't had cause to worry. I would imagine I would put heavy duty ones on if I ever had a failure though

Got the rear axle mostly finished today, rebuilt the calipers myself and got the ball joint swapped. Once the A arms are on then that's the rear axle ready to roll!

Can i dare say that once you have done the front axle, will it be a rolling chassis

Only a small update today. Got the rear axle completely finished, so now focus has moved to the front. Here I fitted the steering box and radius arms. Need to relocate the arms of the ramp so I can get the anti roll bar fitted which I have repainted. Hopefully tomorrow will see the front axle stripped and possibly primed

Looking forwards to having all three LSK plates back on the drive once the 110 is finished. Will definately do a photo shoot!
