Hi Dom,
Yes it is the frontrunner slide, I got it from opposite lock in Mitchum vic.
Have a look at dolium.com.au anything they have opposite lock can get in for you. It was $589.
Cheers

A few more pictures from the last upgrade.



Next upgrade will be an ARB Rear Diff Cover and the Flashpaq ECU Programmer.

Finally finished my drawers and just in time for the WA Safari, final cost was around $360 so much cheaper than the commercial equivalents.

I actually did something for once lol

Put the RFI UHF antenna onto a teraflex bracket for the back end



Was worried about clearance with the spare, but not a problem



Clears the top of the hard top and didn't strike at all in the quick drive around, time will tell how it goes offroad though

Also, did the Throttle Calibration sequence and in my 12 auto, it does seem zippier from a stand still:

Quote:
Throttle Calibration
Throttle calibration can substantially improve throttle responsiveness over "factory standard." Many people notice what appears to be sluggish throttle response or a "dead area" at initial accelerator depression. Throttle calibration can take care of these.
1) Insert ignition key and turn to "ON" (not start).
2) Wait for all idiot lights to go out. Check Engine Light may remain on.
3) Slowly depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor.
4) Slowly release the accelerator pedal until it's all the way back up.
5) Turn the ignition key to "OFF".
6) Start the engine.
Most drivers notice an immediate change in throttle response, but depending on your driving style, you may need to repeat this procedure periodically due to the computer's adaptive programming. You likely need to repeat this procedure any time the battery is disconnected.

Keep an eye on the antenna and mount for cracks or coming loose....you may need a spring base for the antenna...I run the same antenna with a spring base to help with vibration issues......or if I hit something (its on my bullbar), but that wouldn't apply to yours....nicely protected up there.

Thanks for the heads up on the throttle calibration procedure...I'll give that a go on mine and see if it makes a difference.
