Flipped the upper ball joints, no spacers so the camber should be ok.
Eyed up doing the gearbox 4wd switches, wow what an ass of a position to put two switches, defo need to drop the gearbox and transfer box as low as possible. Ah well watch this space, still waiting for the switches to arrive from milners.

Tail lights are fully LED as of yesterday. Only managed to break one drill bit while mounting the load resistors for the indicators, think that's pretty good going, for me anyway
