well i am going to be moving to mt isa in the next couple of weeks, so this is going to become more of a tourer/ long distance traveller now. so am selling of the creeps and have bought some procomp all terrains in a 35", unsure what to do about the 9"s though. dont know wether to sell them off or keep them in the shed and still fit them when i can???? so i am looking into lights at the moment. a light bar is almost a necesity, after hookinh one up on a mates car the other day they are quite incredible. but will also need a set of HID's for the distance. If anyone can recommend some decent lights i would love to hear about them.

But i will be posting up some pics along the way and keep everyone updated...

well i suppose i should give some form of update here. The front 44/9" is complete and sitting in brisbane, the rear third 9" is complete with brand new gears and locker, i have ordered a ruff stuff housing from dragtec customs and realistically should have gone elsewhere, told me it would take 6 weeks to bring in, its now been 6 months and still no sign of it. seems to be hard to find decent fabricators/importers, been stung 2/2 now but oh well not going to let it get it to me. I am still trying to figure out the easiest way to get the diffs under it, and have decided on 3 and 4 links and coilovers, but itll be a slow project as money permits. The goal is 4.0/6 speed/ 4.3 atlas, 3/4 link stretch 100"ish WB and 35's. will make it super reliable in the diff department and make it more suited to the driving style up here ie limited rocks. any way as soon and this housing gets in ill throw some pics up. ill then fly down and put the diff together and get them freighted up to me so i can start the next part of the build.

well i have finally put some time back into this. I hooked up my 12voltguy.com switch panel with winch controls.


I picked up a softop for free up here, must be the only 1 in Isa. And also put the light bar in front of the winch. i was getting way to much glare off the bonnet. even though if i hit a roo its gone.


Even had time to take the r/c crawler out for a burn.




I am about to start a DIY hiline lift as im not getting enough uptravel with this lift. So ill post up pics when i start.
