plans are to sandblast chassis, repair x-member prep and prime.
restore brakes, new wheel cylinders hoses and steel lines ect.

Not rebuilding diffs or engine
Hey mate, I've just re read your post through a web browser. I was currently looking at it on Tapatalk and it wasn't showing the text in your last post. I didn't realise you were blasting the frame and replacing the lines, rubbers etc. Great to hear :clap:

You've got the GQ to tow anything. It serves no purpose as a recovery point so I'd lop it off!
