    handling the tyres once they are on the ground is not too big a problem, getting them there is - I plan to fit a 150 lt fuel tank where the OEM tyre goes under the cab, so I'm looking at making a rear mount and that will have a winch/crane for it.

    The photo shows what the it will look like in a few month's time.

    I've very lucky that my wife is understanding - she also helps out on the truck where possible.

    Just an update on the works this month.

    I've figured out how to fit the Range Rover seats into the cab - they are heaps more comfortable than the OEM seat. I have fitted an early D1 a/c condenser and fans into a roof console. Progress has been steady, with most of the time being focussed on fitting new portal axle gears to allow me to cruise at 100kph @ 2200rpm.

    Other works include the designing of the rear cab. Here is a Solidworks model of the rear section of my Mog - A full size double bed is at the back of the cab, and we have space for a toilet/shower as well. The rear part opens up as does the top. The inspiration for that came from this build up which makes my truck seem tiny:

    Rob Gray :: graynomad :: wothahellizat :: wot2 :: diaries :: diary_19

    All going well I should have the frame up by the end of Feb.
