Looks great mate, all it needs now is some Flares and some Mud Flaps and it will be Sweet As!.

Note that you will get allot of attention from the local Coppers with No Mudflaps mate. once you start to Mod it on the edge of Legal then Mudflaps will be the easy thing to get pulled over for. Put some one mate.

Flexi Flares are a Winner too mate, although t looks like that is what you have taken off it?

yeah i have taken them off. found a little rust underneath them. not much, but enough to get fixed :)

so heres the update for today!

theyre the mongrel retreads off a guy called Tibi on ebay, and the wheels are off ebay too! all new :)

tyres cost $470, and the wheels $280 + $50 for tyre fitting and balancing off the same guy. pretty happy with them!

however, am NOT using these on the road until i have to. theyre purely for trips, so theyll stay chained up in the garage until then :)

sounds like youre in a boeing 747 when youre driving :\

Thanks for sharing!

What profile are those tyres? I think the pattern makes them look to me to be skinnier than they are!

my meager attempt, 2" lift with no swaybars
