Thought I would post a pic of my new, now 2 month old GU8. So far have put in

Arb deluxe winch bar
Premier winch
Ipf xs9000 hid lights
Dual batteries
Snorkel- Nissan
Taipan chip, 3" stainless exhaust and catch can
Superior Engineering 4" superflex kit
Pillar pod with Autometer boost and pyro
Gme uhf
Cargo barrier
Nissan towbar
Procomp 17x9 alloys
Mickey T claw ttc 35x12.5
Roof rack and awning

Have front locker and diff gears 4.625 to fit, but having trouble getting this ratio for the rear with factory diff lock. Got the Arb twin compressor to run the front locker and tyre inflation. In dash gps still waiting to go in also. Will get some drawers at next months 4x4 show, then it's getting there.
All seems to work ok, already done a red center trip in it and a play in the mud.

Thanks guys, I am pretty pleased with how it's coming along. Can't wait to get my camper on and get out and use it some more. Put matching wheels and 35's on that too.
Yes the steps are going, just not sure what brand sliders I will replace them with.
The Armada's seem good so far, valved pretty stiff but don't make the ride too harsh. The harder you hit stuff the more they like it.

I love it! well done. definitely the most modified GU8 i've seen so far.

re the side steps, 4" lift and 35s...you'd be doing well to find anything that high to put a ding in them!

Had a bit of a go already, one of them gave the sill a bit of a kiss up north. Now looking at a set of Walker Evans beadlocks after ripping a new tyre off the bead in the most inconvenient place. Skull dragging a Triton while dragging diffs myself not the best place to loose one. Kept it nailed to the top and the tyre survived, new claws are tuff.
