So I bought this thing and then exchanged a fitted Polo gearbox for a whole 'nother SJ.
Then I took a lot of it away, fitted some proper tyres, swapped out the original transfer box as it failed on the first trip out off-road and did quite a bit of welding on it:
and fitted one of the buckets out of the original nail:
Which is still on OEM rails, as per Blue Book regs.
I also welded a roof panel in over it, to provide the start of some protection. I do also have the ROPS from the first one to fit in due course.
Then I took it to a 4x4 trial on Sunday and started enjoying it.
