plans for the weekend is to do some work on the truck, so it will rain all weekend..
no pics, but while looking into the ignition problem I had, cleaned up all the wiring from the conversion.... It was left in a really bad state, the only part i was not happy with.... all nicely tide together fuses in higher places.
I have the paint ready as well, a little bit of prep left and rear back wall to be finished.......then spray the truck, just not looking into tapping everything up....
Wow...
Dr Drift...
NO up dates at the moment that are worth showing, unfortunately sinking my money into house reno's.
But thinking about selling off my 5" lovel heavy duty springs and Superior engineering drop boxes. All in top nick not much driving done on them..
let people know when there ready for sale,, The most work the gear has done is on my you tube link below. Thats nearly 2years ago, month after that comp I started the chop and It's still painfully going on....
Reason for selling as I'm wanting to go lower.
Lower wtf for?
do you know what roughly u want for the gearQuote:

Looking at $500 buddy... Its good gear, Lovells don't make crap spring and there australian steel and made... they are the black powder coated springs not blue.... I dont like having colour under the 4b as I try to keep the police away and black looks standardQuote:

So I've been taking my time (little to long) and going to purpose build if for smaller fun comps and short touring and trail rig....Quote:

My sheet man failed me before christmas, and was hopping to have the back wall welded in and the truck painted...:mad::mad:
So go onto the next mod...
going to turn my double door into one...make a Bracket off the rear door for spare wheel and finish it with a comp style wheel lock nut... This way I can still use the original wheel mount when I go on longer trips.
The wheel will sit right onto the high lift jack and act as the main support.
even though im pulling the pin on the bigger comp I wanted to run in... I still love the look of the winch trucks....
