Well I got the Bushwackers on it only took a day and a half they look awesome, there is plenty of room for 35's let alone the 33's that I have on there, it was really time consuming and fidly if you dont have patience, really good quality Left, Right and straight snips a 4 " grinder a Jigsaw with metal fine blades x 2 , about 3 x 4mm metal drill bits, a really good hammer, screwdrivers, a compressor with a ratchet, a metal hacksaw, metal file, and a heap of other stuff forget it, you can ask anyone that has done this before its not easy, but the results speak for themselves it looks ****** Hot.

I am going to put nuts at the rear to help with making it stronger but thats about it, oh and a put a couple of holes into my washer bottle because the drill bit grabbed onto the metal and pulled it into the plastic lololol not to bothered though it still holds a little bit of water lololol

I will post some pics in a few days.

Good old silastic works great, when fitting snorkel did not remove water bottle to start with, as i thought everything would clear - except the forward mounting which went straight through it was full thats how i know water all over me as i was beside guard.

Silastic and no leaks since

Today: Made a new rear speaker box, Took up what boot i had left after the LPG tank took up most of it all those years again. Well this ones 900mm long, sits hard up against the rear door, and is 450mm high so it sits near level with the back seat. all i can fit in the boot now is a damm rope and jump starter.

Serviced my auto today, new oil and filter. Big thanks go the the mechanic I payed to do it last time, for the 3 stripped bolts and fear of a cork gasket . It's hard to believe that someone with no mechanical background can do this... I thought servicing auto's was hard
