Finally feels like it’s getting some where now

Making up some diff breathers this afternoon
Gotta add some jubilee clips to the pipe but that should do the job nicely

Might make up a 3 way t and send one small plastic tube up the snorkel

Filled the axles up with oil
Gotta get it on more level ground and just check the levels again .

Gonna get some more oil to change the oil on the lobster box

Then if I get a change drive it 😂

Got to have a drive and it don’t seem to bad soa so far

But I do have an issue with my transferbox I bought it’s making a slapping noise when you let off the throttle

It has excessive back lash on the input flange off the back of the gearbox but play is in the transfer box

Il see if I can upload a video

Other wise if it wasn’t for that I would of been happy


The lockright in the rear diff gonna take some getting used to as well

Nice articulation! :doublethumbs: :lol: :doublethumbs:

The tcase thing sucks though. I don't know how to alter backlash on gears in a tcase (or if you can!). If you work it out, please post pix!

Carried on fitting the defenders arches I think they come out well on the drivers side

Passenger side to go but that will be easy

Also got my hands on a 1.6 8 valve 413 gearbox and vitara rad
Supposedly a very good engine that had a few quid spent on it
Gonna check the clutch and replace if needed also I’m gonna do the timing belt and water pump

So il be pulling her front end off to do the conversion
