Ummm, the hummer look is not quite what I'm going for, but the door trims would look great I reckon - just thin stuff to keep weight at a minimum.Quote:

A snap from the weekend ... not an action shot, but I played with the contrasts etc as that stone entrance to the tour route was simply beautiful ... like going through a big gate to enter a paradise ... very nice ...

Definitely need a winch up front!! Looks bare without it! lol
Looks like a must see place i lived up your way years ago
and never new about that place
Mate, I live here full time and never knew about it - was very pleasantly surprised .. very nice spot .. could imagine its a top winter getaway to spend a cold night by the fire, as well as in summer when the swimming opportunities (and good wet tracks) are in abundance ...Quote:

1. Auto box valve body upgrade - December 2011 (includes manual torque lockup switch and temp gauges)
2. Winch - already ordered through Torq4x4 - December 2011
3. Petrol tank back in, new ECU, and bigger injectors - January 2012
4. 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws - January 2012 (thanks Benny!!!)
5. Full dyno and tuning - February 2012
6. 6" Off Road Boss springs and shocks, and drop arms (drop boxes going) - February 2012
That should see it ready for the comp in March ...
7. New seats (front) - whenever
8. New rear windows (solids) - January 2012
9. Full rebuild of the old engine, decompress and refit - when I can afford it
10. New rear bar - still haven't decided if I'll build or buy, but leaning towards build
11. Dual battery system - when I can afford it
12. A BIG facelift - a full respray/paint job ... when I can afford it
Hate the costs, but thoroughly enjoying the process of the continued change of direction for Tank. And yep, eventually it'll get to the point of it being de-registered and being a weekend warrior. Think I'm already pushing 'the friendship' with the boys in blue, so this would see a big target painted on the side I reckon ... then I can get another Patrol (street friendly) to tow it around!!!
Thinking of putting labelling/advertising on it for the forum, Torq4x4, AutoArt Mechanical, etc ... (not looking for sponsorship as such, just figure can't hurt to promote places that have taken care of me and get their names out there ...).
Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing it in comp. Are you selling the current lift kit and will you be selling the rear bar?
Are ya gunna keep the same colour?
Big lift needs big rubber 37's???
Rear bar is already taken as it were, but I'll be selling the springs, shocks and drop boxes (and braided brake lines).Quote:
