Amazing work Danie. Watch out you don't get a show on Discovery channel :-)

How about putting in a split bus front and back end? That way you will get more ground clearance as well as a lower final drive ratio from the reduction boxes.

If there is one thing that deserves a proudly Souf-efrikan sticker in this country it has to be this Kubel. WOW, so well done.
Congrats

Since the last post, the Kubel has featured in an SABC2 news insert where it participated in a re-enactment of Ops Barbarosa near Bloemfontein.

Got this pic from Danie a few days ago, the Kubel now also have a 'brother in arms'! :drunks:
