[Big Red]

4.6 diffs with the huge H260 rear diff
5 speed
factory turbo




a bit of chopping should see the 35's fit :lol:


might need some wider flares though

[Big Red]

welded up the exhaust bracket and the cracks it caused in the muffler, fitted some roadworthy tyres to it and made up a drop bracket to get the nut in far enough to pick up on the spare wheel mount.

As you saw, I needed a LH flare and they're a bit expensive so i bought one on Ebay for 100 bucks ...

came with a few extra bits thrown in LOL :lol:



just about everything in the whole trailer load was painted chassis black ... including the grill, bonnet, guards etc ...


there was a badge on the grill so i hit it with some graffiti remover and this is what i found ...


so i chucked it on the ute and doubled its value :lol:

[Big Red]

stripping it down for paint ...


had to remove boxes, guards, lights, fuel filler etc etc so i could lift the tray to clear ...


sat the tray on drums and drove it out so i could get at the rear of the cab to sand it down ...


11 pm, Just finished up for the night,
used 6 charges of the Dewalts battery's and a caramel wheel to strip the stripes and stickers off it tonight ... in between rain showers

neighbors are getting some of their own back :mrgreen:

I spotted a bit of rust in the lower corner of the windscreen and since the windscreen needed to be replaced anyway ... I ripped the windscreen out to treat and fix the rust.
of course it started to rain so i had to chuck my tarp over it but its a bit low for working on ...


the offending corner


there was a bit on the other side as well

[Big Red]

errr ... the top had heaps of holes and rust ... lucky i pulled it out


anyway, a bit of rust treatment some bog and half a can of spray putty later ...

[Big Red]

Got sick of the tarp hitting me and there was not enough room to paint the roof so i did what any self respecting bogan would do ...

built myself a shed :lol:

tarp was very tatty so i had to roll the edge and screw it to the guttering , whack a few eyebolts in the fence and use half a roll of 100 mile an hour tape to block up all the holes :lol:

All this rain doesn't help with the lake on the ground though :roll:


its now in undercoat but thats as far as i could get.
painted the windscreen recess then got the hoodlining glued back in to the edge at the top.
will paint it when the weather clears but not being a painter i hear its not good to paint in high humidity?
gunna be humid for a while i think :roll:
