I’m really wishing I had have gone the diesel heater route, toasty warm.

Matt you can do both, have the original heater all hooked up so you can show off your heater boxes and tube wrap, then hide the diesel heater under the front seat so it nice and toasty warm
Diesel heaters are OG, that’s Oh Gee why didn’t I get one of these sooner, best part is you can turn them on 10 minutes before you leave,

Ian how do they work? 12 volt? Switch on the dash? Can you run multiple outlets to heat different areas?

Yeah 12 volt, little key fob thing like a garage door opener to turn it off/on and up/down
2 outlets, so one front through the toolbox area and one for the back through the bulkhead
And this one I’m thinking about putting a small tank In toolbox area as well, just have to lift the seat to fill

Front on and the doors still line up so that’s a bonus

Got a feeling it's going to be on it's wheels very soon. It's taken a ton of work to get this thing all squared up mate but it's really coming together now.

Test fit for the rear tyres, and it’s tight.
I fitted the IRS arm and put the drum on

If that's around the intended ride height - I'm liking it 8)

Thats another 5 mins well spent imo.

I spot welded a strip along the lip and tapped the lip up on the rear guards, now have 10mm clearance then sprayed some undercoat on them
Now I’m going to fit everything then pull it apart and throw some paint at it
