Sweet job!  Everything looks like it turned out really good, and it all had great appearance.  Not to many people go for a nice look, its nice to see.

kumasta ka na Maa

that is the truck i want to build have you had it out on higher speed and if so what was it like for stability.  that truck is the exact truck i want for a daily driver. i like that you kept it looking very clean looking

Great job. out of curiosity why did you go pajero instead of toyota for the axles?

with thed dual tcase, i guess speed  is not part of its daily chore...crawling perhaps

i ended up using pajero axles (coz they're cheaper) maybe ill change to prado axles in the front if i win the lottery
