Is that all they could fit on there - wasn't the jeep supposed to be able to carry a quarter of a ton?

Sorry I haven't replied earlier, some great suggestions and many thanks for giving me some ideas to work on.

I have managed a little bit of bench time. The first thing was to work on the suspension I haven't done to much but I have removed the solid hangers and replaced with wire as they seem to be suspended on a single U shaped pin.

Next was to replace the front and rear bumpers with the etch offerings. And finally you may just make out I have removed the solid moulded body supports for some scratched supports on the top of the chassis.

The only other major surgery with the exception of the addition of etch was to remove the moulded on fenders as these were far to thick and make some out of pewter and fit them I think they look a lot better.

Hi John, Thanks mate. Not sure my skills are up to a light box yet.
