Ordered a budget boost whilst I sort out suspension options and ordered a Smittybilt XRC front bar, they should both be here by the end of the week
That gear is a good start.... don't forget the quick disconnect rear mud flaps & front swaybar + to keep it nice and str8, Rock Sliders will help heaps

Smittybilt bar turned up today, fitted it after work, relatively painless but the instructions were not very clear with grainy photos, but got there in the end!!!



Fitted up budget boost, surprisingly the rear shackles weren't seized!!!!


Looks like a completely different car, my son is so excited. We are trying to get it ready for a family camping trip at Easter

It didn't get away for Easter, but hoping for a weekend away very soon!!

So in preparation bought some Rhino gutter mount legs off eBay and "borrowed" the Crossbars and roof tray from my wife's Prado

We fitted it up tonight, now we have somewhere to mount the spare until he saves up for a rear bar:
