Our LiL-Richie

[Dave Holio]

this is what we picked up the other month for 3k

oct 88 model 4.2p 5spd .
mods that where done where 3in lift , spotties , solid rear bar , rock sliders ,
uhf , by the looks of things it was setup before and they ripped the good stuff off
before we picked it up .
Things ive done sar far is fit EF (falcon) thermos , aftermarket bucket seats , descent HU (dvd mp3+monitor ) and changed the front bar to custom built 1 that i picked up for 20$
also aquiered a set of 315/75/16 mudstar mt's
looking at fitting belly tank and gas , roof cage , snorkel , maybe 2 inch body lift and 4-5 spring lift .
also looking at fitting drop box's aswell

getting a bit of flex with it , still has rear sway connected

at least front flex's a bit :)

[threedogs]

Would you really need all those mods looks like it would do most tracks around as is,
Very neat looking 4x4

[Dave Holio]

springs i would like to get done for the tyres , drop box's to steering right as ive allready got the death wobbles sorted but looking getting the front end right for when the other springs go in

[threedogs]

Might think about chopping the rear quarters too for a better departure angle .
Snorkel yes , its a nust have

[growler2058]

[Dave Holio]

yurp for sure on the 1/4s , lol just need to to get the rear bar off as its pretty solid there

[Dave Holio]

and this is the front bar , just need to get winch (something is better than having nothing )

[nissannewby]

You know you have had a good run when the rivets have started to be worn down.

[Dave Holio]

Now to drop the flywheel off to get resurfaced


Off da tapa :p

[Dave Holio]

flywheel got machined yesterday and picked it up and clutch kitt today and got home ,
530 - 8 pm and road tested after dinner and the thing is now awsome to drive -
lol now its time to get it out n dirty

[Dave Holio]

got some new booties for the mav today

[Stropp]

Nice looking rig there mate well done.

[BigRAWesty]

Nice mate. Very clean
In regards to the body lift, don't go anymore than 1". It creates to many problems going more.. But pair that with a nice 2 or 3 inch spring lift and you'll have a good height.. And plenty of room for the 33's..
