Thumbs up

Love your work Dave!!! That made it easy for the people to see it.....
Hey yeah mattajeeper not sure with those tyres? I ran em at about 21 pound and found em ok, at the end of the day they just aren't enough rubber for the car. My rims got chewed up reasonably well over the weekend and I took it fairly easy too...

Good luck, Micko

We ran our 20s at around 18 psi on very soft sand and no real issues. That included driving on bitumen for a fair way to air up again

Hope you guys are enjoying yours as much as I do. Might be worth checking how the rock rails were fitted though. I may have been unlucky and got the rough guy at the factory but a couple of brackets which were there to hold the original sill were bent back and twisted. Not a big deal visually as it can't be seen without removing plastic clips and looking under that cardboard type of material under the front wheel arch. The problem is the paint had peeled off a large area to bare metal with all the bending and twisting and was starting to rust.

That does not sound real good, I will endevour to take a look at it over the weekend. Cheers.

I have noticed a few loose bolts here and there, i have not had a chance to put it up on a hoist to check everything but it might be worth a look for all GC owners.

G'day mate yeah our car has a section of paint missing where the
Rails go on up front also, it doesn't look like anything has been butchered/bent just the paint missing bit of a shame really
