Looks good, may have to do the same on mlne due to dents.
One question does yours have an aerial in the wing how good does it fit around that as I think somebody (maybe garage I brought it from) tried to fit a stereo and the hole was too big so they drilled another hole next to it, and would like to cover that if I can.

They do 2 versions - one that extends over the original aerial hole which has a hole for the aerial, and one that stops short. Rgds. Chris |

Yep, what Pacha said. It stops short of the aerial. Not sure how well you can see it on this pic.

I am awaiting delivery of an ATB rear diff from Ashcroft. Couple of weeks away yet. Been thinking about a brake upgrade as well, but to be honest I’ve never found the standard brakes lacking so it’s hard to justify. Front diff and drive shafts etc can wait until next year. |

Sorry for taking this a little off topic, yep they are the ones but I would need LHD and not RHD and also would be looking for better postage quote, can prob get genuine LR gold ones anodized black, for cheeper 😂

Mine are Mammouth ones from LRParts. Because they are cut short I don’t think it matters whether they are LHD or RHD.

Rear ATB fitted today. Pegged. Haven’t been out in it yet but it is certainly well built. The old one was in pretty good nick as well, regular oil changes have certainly helped I would think.
