Right, so it is time that I got this started if I am going to have it back on the road by the end of summer.
I have a budget of £3000 to do a chassis replacement including suspension and a new transfer box.
Please bear with me, I am a complete novice at all of this and I will ask a lot of questions!
I am planning on ordering the chassis on Tues, but need to finalise some stuff first. I think I am going to go with a Richards chassis as they are a slightly higher thickness steel and I won't have to re-tap the threads. But I will collect it and it is a lot father away than Marshalls, which isn't ideal.
Just trying to decide whether to go for the gearbox crossmember as well. I think I am going to get the TD5 tank mounts too and make some kind of dual tank system.
Any recommendations for suspension brands? I guess I need HD springs as the final idea is for it to be expedition spec. Or medium duty if I can find some.
