What an amazing build. Pics are great. Any chance you could let us know what the rear bumper is or where it came from? Sorry if you've already answered that one did read through. Just bought a 130 and looking for something robust to put on the back of it.

Bumper looks great, do you ever struggle with departure angle over and above a standard set up? Looks like the angle itself doesn't change just a slightly longer overhang.

The departure angle is reduced, especially when the towbar is fitted but then when the tow bar is fitted I will have a trailer attached to departure angles go out the window somewhat.
Finally got the truck back from the paint shop so I will be back at it today and this weekend |

Spent the weekend replacing the door locks on the AFN back and beefed up the locking mechanism.
Currently got the seats out and floor/transmission tunnel mats as I am sound proofing the floor, at the same time I am running cables etc for the various extras that are going into the vehicle. |

Finished the first battery box today and tested it to see how 'ard' it is.
Seems to be strong enough
