    Thank you o so much. It has all the ingredient doesnt it! What a weapon.

    Looks to have similar specs to ours (except we have GU diffs, not Portals).

    Looks like they have moved the front forward a couple of inches over standard with the 3 link, which is what we plan to do.

    Is there a link to a build thread or further info anywhere.

    Thanks again!

    Nice looking vehicle, but I would advise that you try to reseach as to any handling quirks of that radically offcentre 3rd link. My 3rd link is also offcentred to the right, directly above the diff for packaging reasons, and the right front of the chassis will lift slightly under brakes, and dip a little in 4wd when climbing steep slopes at an oblique angle that places the right side down.I'd imagine the greater offset of the Discos 3rd link may exaggerate this phenominem.
    ideally,if there was space to do so, the 3rd link would be offset slightly to the left side and angle down from the diff mounting to the chassis mounting to counteract propshaft torque roll.He does seem to have quite good upper and lower limk separation at both axle and chassis though, so it may handle ok.
    Bill.
