nice truck 8)
i like how you doglegged the last box section to match the cab - how many would have just set it back and kept it straight for easiness :D

Luke, cheers mate!! It's the little things!! That way, the winch uses very Lille space on the bed, as it sits really close to cab!! Thanks for ya kind words.

Off to paint shop again tomor to fit the side skirts and sport grey arches. I'll put pics up if anyone's interested?

It's got a mk7 steering wheel too! Feels loads better with it, and taller too

Remapped, egr blanked, cat chopped out, a box chopped out of exhaust, Airbox hole enlarged, bout 130bhp estimated now. Good fuel economy, I do 600-700+ mile trips sometimes and doesn't miss a beat!!!

Looks mint! I'm going to be building one soon. What size box section did you use? And have you got any more pics and sizes of the back body? Would be a good help. Thanks
