Noel's newish ute

[noel_w]

Hi guys, have had a GQ 95 RD28T for yonks and finally thought I should upgrade.
So, looked around and found a 2012 ST Coil Cab ute and now she's mine. 65 on the clock came with OEM winch bar, OEM snorkle, OEM towbar IPF lights, UHF, Steel tray, near new Cooper AT3 rim protectors, rear coil tower full brace and full spring replacement airbags on the rrrsend.
Have ordered a full alloy canopy which should be ready in a couple of weeks.
Will be setup as a touring beast for when I retire in a couple of years and have a shed full of mods to do. Will update as I do them.
Enjoying my new ride.

Well have added some bling to the uterus
Tong Box custom canopy
Recovery points front
Runva 11XP winch
Set of 6 16" GU alloys to replace the steelys (keep the weight down a bit)

Gave it to Zordo to do some magic the other day:
Heavy Duty Dobinson 2" lift coils all round
Koni 88's all round
Firestone helper airbags with kevlar collars
Castor correction bushes.

Feels like a proper fourbie now.

Booked in soon for the onboard air and air lockers front & rear.

Coupla piccies along the way

Well done Noel, that does look to be coming together.

Very flash looking box Noel, are the top racks for taking a tinny?

Nah, not a fisherman. Mainly for throwing tents and swags on top. Haven't used the rack in anger yet.

Had a set of custom sliders and brushbars made by Bolsy installed yesterday. Usually on utes the sliders stop at the back of the cab but I had him extend them back to just in front of the drive wheels. Main idea is to protect my under tray toolbox which houses my compressor. It has already had one hit.
Also had a 2.75" Beaudesert exhaust put on a couple of weeks ago. Has a resonator instead of a full muffler so it has a bit of a note but my excuse to myself that it was lighter and every Kg helps :icon_victory:
Has improved power output by heaps and has made it so much easier to drive. Very happy with it so far.

Great to see another ute with a pod on the back.

What are you going to put in the pod?
