The "Tank" - Big, Grey and Ugly ..

[timbar]

is this what you had in mind for the front bar ????

[Bigrig]

I give the GQ 5 stars but jeez man that car parking effort is a lazy half star...LMAO:bananarock:

I always park over the line - I figure that space isn't a thoroughfare, just a big parking spot!!! LOL

[Bigrig]

is this what you had in mind for the front bar ????

Nothing attached mate??

[timbar]

sorry first one didnt work

[Bigrig]

sorry first one didnt work

Very similar actually - a little different, but close enough that I now know it will look AWESOME!!!! lmao

[timbar]

i would extend the whinch section at the bar past the vertical middle section

[Bigrig]

The bar is essentially this one with headlight hoops, and a wider centre hoop to fit the 4 spotties ...

5477

[timbar]

ok then i like the other one better but your rig do it your way im sure the end result will be fantastic judging by the rear bar hahaha

[Bigrig]

ok then i like the other one better but your rig do it your way im sure the end result will be fantastic judging by the rear bar hahaha

I like the other one as well - but its not what I'm getting. It'll be a damn sight better than the rear I'd suggest - he does it for a living, mine was a hack - but at the end of the day, cost me a grand total of $155 in steel etc. The front isn't something I'd even attempt ... on my rig anyway!!! LOL

[Warnie]

I want one of these guys bars http://www.millweld.com/a/Winch_Bars

They look awesome. Much better than the half finished effort of mine under the house.

They are awesome indeed!!

[Bigrig]

Well, hopefully my front tube bar is ready today as I just organised a new winch/28 metre plasma rope to go on it, but the big news - Supercharger goes in next Wednesday (takes a couple of days, so won't have it back until the weekend). It won't kill the engine (just yet) and I figure I will have that much more usable power in the meantime anyway .. rebuild can wait a few months ..

Tank is getting a lot of love!! Time for the kids to song for their supper again!! lmao

[growler2058]

Mate are you tryin to make me feel jealous cause ur doin a FINE job of it. How bloody EXCITEMENT!!!!

[Bigrig]

Thanks boss, and no, that wasn't the plan ... just a bonus!!!! lmao

Very excited indeed!!!

[big_fletch]

Cant wait to see this tube bar mate, should look s#!t hot... And supercharger?? That will be tough as when all finished lol

[Bigrig]

Cant wait to see this tube bar mate, should look s#!t hot... And supercharger?? That will be tough as when all finished lol

Fingers crossed brother!! Apparently should be ready ... tomorrow ... but that was said yesterday also, so not getting my hopes up just yet ..

The SC will be awesome - figure I'll run it in with the engine as is, and if it starts playing up, I'll rebuild it down the track ... at least I get that power in the meantime!!!

Runnin the gauntlet mate thats the shot! Im gunna be away might have to sneak off to an internet cafe and log on to see the progress and to hear it cause i KNOW youll post some cool vid an audio

[Bigrig]

Well, here tis - the new front bar - not the best shots as it only just went on and it's dark, but you'll get the idea - I'll take some more tomorrow. Certainly opens up the approach angle, and quite simply put, I love it!! Toughens the front end up a bit as well ...

[patch697]

Yeah your right mate, it is a bit hard to see?......Daytime pics are in oder me thinks???...........lol

[AB]

Very nice Scotty, I like it!

Mate, pretty serious set up with the spotties too, you'll start bushfires with those puppies...LMAO

[Bigrig]

Yeah your right mate, it is a bit hard to see?......Daytime pics are in oder me thinks???...........lol

I'm on it boss!!! Guess taking a photo of a black bar at night wasn't one of my greatest ideas!!! lol

No........ But its the thought that counts mate......PML

[AB]

Scotty, I haven't kept up with this mammoth thread but have a think about making those spotties vandal proof if you haven't done so, I would hate for someone to steal those.

Using cable to the bar work, grinding the bolt threads down, etc

Thanks mate - now they're transferred over, I'll throw a spot weld on the threads ... the center ones have anti-theft bolts, but even so, if they want them, they'll always get them.

[timbar]

looks good in the dark mate gotta be awesome in daylight .........what did that bar set u back ???

[Bigrig]

looks good in the dark mate gotta be awesome in daylight .........what did that bar set u back ???

$1100 - fitted ... dual recovery mounts, winch compatible ... he put extra spottie mounts on it also with a larger centre hoop to fit all 4 spots in ...

[Bigrig]

Some day time snaps - bit easier to see!! lol

5941

5942

5943

5944

Got the taller centre hoop so I can put some guides on the bottom side of it to wrap the plasma rope around from the winch - figured once it's used, I'll just wrap it around the guides until I get back home to clean it - protects the front edge of the bonnet also. The side hoops are pushed around the back a bit from standard also to give added side protection to the indicators etc .. pretty happy with it all in all ... now for sliders!!!! lmao

Mal is going to have a look at trying to do a full bash plate for the front also which will clean up the look from the front and protect the steering arm etc also.

[patch697]

It looks tough as Scotty & with the bash plate done it'll be strong too...... Love the side hoops you had added,,,Much better with them on IMO

Your getting my mod bug going again.... all I need to do now is make some bloody money.......lolol

[Bigrig]

Haha ... glad it's inspiring you also mate!!! Thanks for the wrap - I love it, and as said, it'll toughen up with a black checkerplate bash plate ...

I'm on the saving path again now also ... the winch is $895 (Tiger 12000 pound with 28 metre plasma rope and hook) and it's just out of my reach ... need some overtime!! lmao

[Sir Roofy]

Mmmmm will wait till the bash plates go on,probably better in the flesh but seems to open to me

[Bigrig]

Mmmmm will wait till the bash plates go on,probably better in the flesh but seems to open to me

Nope, no better in the flesh - it's REAL open!!!! lmao ...

The bash plate will clean that up a bit, but for what I do, I had to start looking at getting better approach angles and a bar that doesn't bend everytime I hit something (which is often as dhuck and crew can vouch for!! lol).

agree on the approach angles it will work ok but now leaning towards comp car
will be interesting to see once you hit the slopes again scenic rims next right that will be the test for it

Hahaha ... Thanks old mate!!! Yep, 4" lift and now there is so much tyre showing, it looks a bit dinky from the front, so once the sliders are on, I'll be hunting down a set of Mickey Thompson 305/75 MTZ's to throw on it!!! And it started out (750 odd posts ago) as such a nice family rig!!!! lmao ...

I know you're all sick of hearing about the truck (ahem), but I actually sized up a set of 5" Dobinson springs and long travel Tough Dog shocks today (will need the radius arms and rear upper control arm done also to accommodate this) .... where does it end????!!!!! lol

[nowoolies]

where does it end????!!!!! lol

Scotty Scotty Scotty..................IT LOOKS THE BOMB [that's good] MATE, LOOKS TUFF, LOVE IT. Now it just needs a lightbar on the roof...lol.

[NissanGQ4.2]

Sorry Scotty...........I don't like you anymore *LMAO*.................nice work your doing on TANK, Would love 2 add a super charger 2 mine :) very jealous i am...
P.s: did i mention u su!k

P.s: did i mention u su!k

Does it make you feel better to know I'm not getting the super charger?? lol ... it's off the list as they don't do a kit for it ...

Would it worsen the relationship though if I told you I was getting an LS2 V8 instead?? lmao!! But that's a pipe dream at the moment old mate .. I'm blurring reality with desire at the moment!!

It will happen if I hold onto the dream ... just don't know when!!!!

[NissanGQ4.2]

Surely sum1 has supercharged.....mmmmm V8, I still miss my old Holden HZ Premmy it was only a tock standard 308, but i loved it :)

You will get there mate, and I'm looking forward 2 seeing pics and a write up when it happens :)

Thanks champion - would have thought it possible also, but trust me, I've hunted the bejeezers out of it, and nothing ... that said, super charge and get 200kw's versus new motor and get 300kw's for about 20% more cost and I know which way I'll be heading ... sort of took the decision out of my hands, but thankfully so! lol

can never have 2 much power anyway *L* why you going the 5 inch lift and not sticking with the 4 you have????

[Dhuck]

He goin bigger but a little softer, He getting more serious about what he wants to do.

[Bigrig]

can never have 2 much power anyway *L* why you going the 5 inch lift and not sticking with the 4 you have????

Because I'm a d!ckhead who's never happy with what's he's got!!!!! lmao ...

Nah, the rise is fairly rigid, and even though it flexes ok, I figure if I'm looking at swapping springs and shocks, I may as well go another inch ... that will definitely end it though, not going 6" ...

[Dhuck]

You would not even make 6 with a brick on the end. rofl

[Bigrig]

You would not even make 6 with a brick on the end. rofl

You're just scared that I can already do more than you without my funky new engine, and funky new sliders, and funky new lift, and funky new tyres, and funky new .... you get my point!! lol

[Dhuck]

Its a kinky 3 way between you me and benny

[YNOT]

So the weight loss is not going so well then???.....................ohhh, you were talking about Tank!

Fair enough mate, I'm going 2 have 2 get my as! in gear and put my 4 inch back in, but will do it all legal this time around :)

Legal, schmegal ... when's the last time (honestly) you got pulled over or know someone who did??? (who wasn't driving an obviously, ridiculously illegal truck by the way). I know of a fair few trucks now that are at least, if not bigger than mine, with bigger tyres, cut wheel guards etc, etc who have never been hassled ... I'm not saying break the law, but a 4-5" lift done well with 33's and without all the "monster truck" setup will attract very little attention me thinks ...

We seriously need to talk a NSW trip Todd ... me? I'm more than happy to drive down and back even for a 2-3 day trip (days driving either side is no great drama).

[Dhuck]

The only reason I would do it properly this time around Scotty as its getting harder 2 find a mechanic that will turn a blind eye 2 a lift. I have been pulled over on numerous occasions from the boys in blue for random rbt and they had never questioned the lift, not even the fact i don't have flares on and my tires stick out noticeable :)

Mate if i had the spare dosh at the moment i would be heading up your way now 2 raid your beer fridge.....I mean for a trip :):):)

Plenty of blokes up here who'll accommodate your request to install a big lift, big tyres, etc, etc ...

[Woof]

Very nice bar and light setup there Scotty, a new or modified bar in on my wish list at the moment along with about 20 other things.

[Peacemaker]

Thanks champion!!! Just fitted the new wheels and tyres also - looks a dead set treat!!!! -23 offset, so with the wider tyre gives it a heap better looking stance and really changes the look from the front end, but will post a pic of that tomorrow in daylight.

A slim line number plate might be the go to suit your slim line bar.

[AB]

tell me where I can't go with 33's that I could with 35's.

I used to think along the same lines mate but heading down some deep ruts worn out by 35"s and watching Timbo and other vehicles cruise through on 35"s and myself try and bash through scraping the housing the whole way through has lead me to believe I really do need 35"s in my area unfortunately...

Unless I mount a snowboard that runs from the front to rear housing and you can get enough speed up to grind your way through then 35"s are a must for my area....LMAO

Just have a question for you Scotty about your Crawler Gears.

I have a Mate with a GQ and Auto Gearbox and on the Very Steep Hills in the Vic High Country we come down in Low 4WD using the Engine Back Pressure as a Brake however the Mates Gq does not cut it in that situation and he has to stop every now and then to cool his Brakes.

My question is with the Crawler Gears can you use them as a brake on Steep Hills ??

Sure can mate - the autos tend to run away down hill, and hence you rely on the brake (not ideal especially if slippery as you want the wheels to roll and maintain traction). The reduction gears are incredible and allow you to traverse steep descents without relying heavily on the brake - I can now easily do 45 degree and greater descents in 4L first gear and literally not touch the brake and probably aren't cracking 4 klms per hour ...

The single best investment I've put into the rig ...

Your mate says (he got sick of texting so asked me to contact you on here!) you would be better to go back to standard bushes when you fit the drop boxes other wise you will have to much castor. He has a spare set of front control arms that he could press new bushes into ahead of time to make the suspension install quicker.

We're such a bad influence on Scotty. A few weeks ago we were all pressuring him to get 35's, then he tell's us he's looking at buying a V8 so a couple of us started suggesting putting a blower on top of it. Now I sell him a bigger suspension lift.
