Thanks guys I literally as bad as this sounds just stuck the relay in and assumed that was that 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll try find out what I’ve missed looks like I may have to start again on that! Thanks I’ve tried retain all the originality of its military components etc but then just modernise the colour scheme! If you love the grey you’ll love the seats and what I’m going to do with the rear tub!

I think the ring just keeps crud out, it’s not that bad of a gaffe...assume you fitted the two bolts at the top end which bolt the relay to the chassis?

Great job Callum - where in the country are you based? Would be good to see your truck at one of the shows when it’s finished.

I live in Chester Andrew, I’ll be definitely driving it to a show maybe even this year. 😂

My steering guard came today! I asked for it to have no holes and look as basic as possible... I felt this made my lightweight look bulkier. I’m trying to be carful not to differ too much away from the originality of the lightweight but still give it my own influence

Well, it certainly doesn't look out of place like that. Splendid steering wheel by the way - is it one of those really expensive ones?
