when I picked it up it had already had inner front arches removed for clearance but they had left the battery tray held in with 1 bolt and bending the bracket so battery was fouling the wheel along with light wiring and engine wiring every were close to tyres and suspension so I set about relocating battery up on to bulk head and redoing the loom

Welcome to the club!!

I like the look of a low long bed... what guys do always amazes me. I always say, just because you can does' t mean you should.

thanks guys

so I converted it back to 6x139 from 5x114 and I had been using the truck daily and its got a few bits I wanted to sort so I had been planning a few ideas for long term but after a boot full out of a junction I snapped a rear spring doing a fair bit of damage dented fuel tank killed prop bearing handbrake cables and flexi brake pipe so I stuck it on the ramp to get stuck in I started with replacing damaged parts but then changed my mind and decided id go all out and do all my suspension mods now
