nice build , do you have any further plans or is it complete .
consider hd tie rod upgrade if you plan to wheel it hard as
the stock ones bend easy , a high clearance skid pan is also
a good thing as they are stronger than the stock skid and
will give you an extra 2 - 3 inches of clearance which helps
with ramp over angles .

Still going but here is where I am up to.

Ultra Motorsport wheels 15x8 with 33x12.5 Mickey Thompson MTZ's.
4.56 Diff Centres with ARB Covers.
SYE and driveshaft.
Front and rear diff locks.
ARB rear bar (I highly recommend getting ARB to fit this. PITA )
Snorkel




More to come..Stay tuned

great stuff mate

i like the arb rear bar as it tucks up high and hides the body lift spacers at the rear.

its a heavy bastard though

Thanks mate,
No it's still going. I have looked at some skid plates and haven't finalised a decision yet. A few of the centre skids I have looked at recomended a body lift to get them to fit and I really want to avoid this. Will keep looking. I hadn't thought of the tie rod. Does it ever end??
Apart from that it's a few more cosmetic stuff, HID spotties, Stereo, UHF etc. Have looked into a new fuel tank as well. Got a mob in melbourne sending me measurements for a 120l tank so I can drive further than the end of the road and back.
Will keep you posted.

What are you crazy. I didn't spend all this money to scratch things up.
All I need now is some dirt in a can and a mall

Scratches will follow, just want to get everything sorted but I'm itching to get it out there.

And yes Kitrino....it is a heavy bastard.

Getting finished now.
Fitted up a new stereo, Ebay special so we will see how long it lasts. Has GPS built in. It's my daily ride.
Changed out the winch wire for rope, fitted a Safari Straps cage webbing. Fit's great and really helps keep your gear in the back.
Changed out my front spotties for new IPF XS900.
New rock sliders. Pretty easy to fit up and nice and solid. It's just a bigger leg up now to get in.





That's about it. Think I will have to stop there as my funds are getting really low haha. I haven't had a chance to run it properly yet due to a few unforseen things so hopefully will get it out there real soon.
