Default WK2: Hounds Build Up
I thought I might show the work I have done and had done to my WK2 over the past few months as I am really happy where I am with it now.



Fresh canvas. 2011 Ltd CRD bought second hand less than 18 mths old.

With a trip to Land Cruiser Park first item on the cards was a new set of boots.

Given I didn't have enough time to look around for 18" I just bit the bullet and bought some 20".

Went with Cooper Zeon Ltz in a 275/55

Next was some Rhino Rack bars, Mopar rock rails and underbody plates. Also bought a mesh tray to load the Oztent and camping kit.



And off to LCMP



Found it dragged its nuts to much so next thing on the list was a lift.

So off to see Stu at Murchenson Products for some of their magic.





Really happy with the result, rides and handles better than before.

Next planned trip was to Moreton Island for a week over New Year so it was off to RFM 4x4 for a Couplertech electronic rust proofing system.



Testing new lift and worked great.

Sand was soft, many bogged but not the GC.

550Nm on tap helps no end.

While at Murchenson for a lift I also order one of his 10" LED bars but there was a bit of a mix up so I had to wait until I got back from Moreton to fit it.

Uses a Great White bracket to fit, but the bar was a bit wide for it so Stu had to have some magic worked to get it fitted.

Great result in the end.

I forgot about the trip to Janowen Hills before Xmas.

First run for the new trailer.

7x4 with 520mm high sides, offroad suspension, 2x gas and 2x jerry holders.

I also had Rhino false gutters installed and bought some rhino heavy duty cross bars second hand so I could carry the tent and awning on the trailer.

Makes room the the car for the dogs, or kids when the time comes.
