Hey guys and gals. I just joined today and was asked to post some piccies of the Dreadnought, so I'll now see if I can figure out how to do it! Cheers!

I have more photo's but they're all over 2.9 megabyte sized and I don't know how to downsize them.
The basics of the Troll are as follows
Fuel Injected 355 Stroker V8
5 Speed Gearbox from an MK
35 inch Maxxis Bighorns (onroad)
36 inch Simex Centipedes (offroad)
37 inch Goodyear MTR's (for when I just need an "extension")
3 inch spring lift (including shackle extension)
2 inch body lift
Front and rear lock rites
Rad looking barwork and rear rollbars
Vertical rear tail lights to stop the need of replacing smashed originals
Other stuff that I've probably forgotten.
I just realised half the specs are in my signature, oh well.
If you wanna see more, can you tell me how to reduce photo file sizes???
CHEERS!!!

Thankyou very much! I just had the inspiration to do it after watching movies like DeathRace, and YES, Mad Max. I decided I wanted to have a four wheel drive version of the Interceptor crossed with the beasts from DeathRace. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to get the armored plating look on the body. Certainly turns a few heads though. I love the smiles and finger pointing I get from little kids walking along with their dads. It also performs REALLY BLOODY WELL out in the bush!

Have you thought of hammer finished metalic paint is also great for covering up defects and small dings in the bodywork i used it on my trailer worked a treat

Nah I love the matt black coz I can buy it for 3 bucks a can, therefore do a full vehicle respray for $15. As for the armored plate look, I more so mean the studs all round the edges. Like this
