Good luck with the exhaust, personally if you're planning on keeping it in your fleet, I'd get a full custom stainless one made, there's some good companies doing them at reasonable rates..

i already have some 90 degree pipes  that would be ideal but no cherry bomb/tractor exhaust to fit to them i think strait pipes of just over six foot might be a little too much bark for the ears to take

as i cant make the breakout and fact i have a bit of an opening this weekend i am going to give the chevy some lovin  and asses what it might need for its mot next month
also goung to give some consideration to its overall looks i think a repaint in satin nato might be cool undecided  as weather to re camo or just one solid colour

if it needs much spending on it may be parked up for a few weeks  as its high season for kids birthdays at the mo

there have been other trucks in but sadly no pics 

one thing i found on zj norm was the third brake light in the tailgate was a full blown plastic dummy light i have never seen this before on a jeep  maybe mike pavlin knows about this  norm is a 96

Yes, all early UK models had the dummy unit fitted.
