Tub Placement

Alun also gave me a hand on with the tub (top bloke). It’s just sitting in place at the moment. I plan to fit it with appropriate sealant between the chassis brackets and tub parts to prevent any future corrosion, and then have it painted in situ (to prevent handling damage after painting). Take a look at how high the vehicle is sitting – the bottom edge line of the tub and jerry can lockers is only just below the top of the tyres, and those are 235/85s! It will sit a little lower once the complete body is on, the rock sliders are fitted and the 3 fuel tanks are filled, but the combination of HD paras and 1-ton chassis and shackles give it a huge lift.
