Cheers stu, it’s taken a long time, mostly due to the fact that bar the new chassis I’ve built it out of the bin, anything I could salvage and/or repair I have done

even more reason to be proud of what you've done!

Gentle away is the order, 2nd gear starts and no hammering it. Eventually I’ll update the running gear but it’s useable as is!Wow, what an awesome build! Great stuff. The 6BT is known for its big grunting torque - how do you think your drivetrain is going to like being pinched between it and a set of knobby 37's?
Keep the news coming please!

It appears I skipped over the box mods, so the transfer box is now running a custom 0.9:1 ratio from ashcrofts, which give the lower revving Cummins something to bite into and should make cruising at 65-70 easier on the old girl!
The front diff is actually a short nose puma rear 4 pin, which lost the argument with my lathe and should give me a much stronger center. Rear axles a standard salisbury, it won’t get any mods unless a locker turns up, however I have converted it from drums to disks as I despise faffing with drums!
I would like a locker in the front axle but one will have to wander past my nose pretty cheap!

I can see it now: badass Cummins Defender on 37's passing me on the freeway with ease pulling a triple-axle with an excavator on the deck. How awesome is that!

Little more progress today, I have a roo bar!
Thats looking good.
Are you leaving those upright sections as they are..? I'm wondering what plod will make of the potential for removing pedestrians or cyclists organs with the sharp edges..?
Im sure you have that covered...

there’s a flat finishing strip to go on yet to take the sharp edges away

Rear shocks fitted and a throttle cable made up. Ratted around to see if I had some steel to make a throttle cable bracket at the pump end but no, then remembered the 3D printer sat on my desk! Hence:
