Love it thanks for sharing.
How much do you have to modify the crossmember to fit the PS rack and how much did you shorten the inner TR ends on the rack.

pretty sure most racks will be different, i had to cut the hole a bit bigger where the splined bit pokes up through the crossmember, and just a tiny bit of reshaping where they bolt on underneath.
i dont know exactly how much i took off the tie rod ends.
just wind them all the way on, then work out if you need them to go further or not
should be pretty obvious onve you have it in there!

So its modded then
Yeah i like how you've spent so much time reinforcing the chassis too.
I'm becoming more of a fan of autos for offroad flexibility...
looks like you've not just put a lot of time & effort into it but a lot of thought also...great job!

Awesome pics and great right up. Well done Bluesteel
Just wondering why the snorkel is on the LHS when the EJ22 normally has the airbox on the driver's side? Which also reminds me.. got any engine bay pics?

Argh! How did I miss those new pics?
Awesome! Scrumby looks right at home out there, love it!
Hope there's many more happy years of 4wd'n and camping.
I'll endeavour to keep a closer eye on this thread for new pics
I don't know how the snorkel creates a black spot. Mine on Ruby Scoo is on the driver's side and fits perfectly in the "factory fitted" blind spot from the pillar - it's quite surprising that yours seemed to enlarge the blind spot.
Cheers
