Need some peoples opinions on what I should do up front?

Coming on really well, great progress Simon Thumbs Up

By up front, do you mean the draw bar?

You could do as I have, mount a spare wheel, and maybe if room a gas bottle? Altox GSM FBH controller thread

I mean on the extension yes. I want to mount a spare wheel vertically but not sure what to mount it to Confused I want it to sit slightly on the drop Thumbs Up

Do I do some confusing angles or do I keep it low?






Or sloped at the front like Wigg's was??

I want a locker up there but do I stream line it? So complex to decide Thumbs Up 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

RD that looks very neat Thumbs Up

I have decided to go with A Wiggs type of design up front. I have tapered in the front end to where I am going to mounts spare wheel Smile

rd would you mind posting some pics of the break section you have behind the 50mm ball set up please Thumbs Up

I have got my 50mm ball ready to bolt on and I hope it is close enough to the hand brake but just in case I need some ideas Smile

I think I will have a small locker up front in the slope and then on one side will have two draws and the other a small locker Thumbs Up but still undecided! I must admit it is looking very much like Wiggs MK 1. Sorry Wiggs was not the plan!

Well finished the taper on the front and I Think it was the right move even though it was a little tricky Thumbs Up

Nearly got the wheel boxes finished just a bit more welding to do Smile

Also bought two 18mm marine plywood to do the floor with. I will have to paint one side to give it protection but the cost difference between the pre coated grippy trailer stuff was huge!! Hopefully get these cut at the weekend and get the cooker in position and give you guys a but of a better "proof of concept" Thumbs Up few more supports/ diagonals needed so I don't do an "Iggy" Rolling with laughter

Iggy let me know as soon as you are back and we will get ordering Whistle

All coming along nicely! I had a few too many beers last night and told SWMBO it would be ready for a weekend break at the end out August before I go back to work Embarassed

Fingers crossed! 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,
