Great idea with the lift up lockable glass,
a guy down here uses alloy checker plate
.
Rumours lol fn auto correct . Drew I made them myself simple and easy to do ive used 3mm perspex ive slowly been collecting the bits and pieces as I wanted to keep it under the $200 mark and ive done that now and am pleased so far just need to get it finished off. If anyone does it with perspex id suggest 6mm
nice rig mate
Went for a run last night to recover a mate that was bogged in neerim south got him out noce and easy. Then on the way out he missed judge a corner and ended up on a tree poor b @$ tard smashed the steering up .so in the end ended up leaving them there with a car completely blocking the track out no steering now cant get in contact with and need to find a steering box heres some pics of it
What's wrong with the steering box Healy?
Sheared the bolt/pin to hold the arm lost all fluid aswell not a pretty site now we cant contact them fun and games. You can see it in the first pic daz
Now rolling on mudzilla's
Auto trans variables.
Power = higher revs before shift.
Hold = hold trans in selected gear so no shifts or kick down, good for snow/ice.
Started the bodylift tonight so I can turn my wheels more than half way I went this path as I liked this set up on the last gq I had but ive now got 15x10s to work with this time which is already starting to $h!t me but they do look good
Are you running a -22 offset with those?

-44 drew thats the pain. Does a -22 fit on the 4.2 efi? Didn't think they did 15" I mean. Think I might get it set up hight flares etc then look at trying to trade with someone for a more suitable rimQuote:

I'm trying to work out if I should change mine over.....I'm just running the standard 15x8 steel rims and just got the 10inch wide tyres on ATM.
Am considering going to -22 and 12.5 inch wide tyres......for looks mainly as my skinny KM2's are still bloody effective

I had the bighorns 35x12.5x15 with -22 on the last Q worked a treat. These ones are 35x13.5x15 -44. I wish they were a 16". But I did a straight swap for my f'd tyres and the standard 16x8 rims im glad aren't on my car anymore as they just chip away on the edges when at low pressure im sticking with aftermarket steelies now. So after that dribble GO AND UPGRADE DREW DO IT HOPE YA WELL TO MATE. Id love some km2's but for now MUDZILLAS it isQuote:

Not sure if I'll swap just yet, am tossing up if I go an extra couple of inches of lift with the body to accommodate 35's........can't decide.
It's that balance of vehicle mods vs making it more comfy for the family when camping.....might go a locker next though......too any things.....not enough money! LOL
Hope your health is good too mate.

Fitted new 125mm flares and refitted rear mudflaps to keep the tyres covered.

SIZE: 16X8 Inches
PCD: 6/139.7
OFFSET: 13N (i.e -ve13
They gave me the most travel, clearance and still sit nicely in guards.

Ill get tape out shortly mate. I was running the 16x8s 285 75 16 before I swapped for these tyres they do sit in nicely even with the factory flares.Quote:

Couldnt agree more mate I build everything myself, I'll grab a measurement in a sec. Do have hands full atm,Quote:

They look mean mate. I need to learn to weld as I got a rear carrier bar but is a little bent and I would like to fit a jerry can holder on the othersideQuote:

Thats unreal, what is your reasoning behind pumping it out that far?
The flares or tyres? Tyres and rims I swapped for my set I had. Flares are to keep the mud off the windows abit more so I can see and to hopefully keep the authorities away as bodylift and 35s arnt legal without engineers certificate.Quote:

Wow these are not an easy fit all the work ive done to fit these front flares on ive now had to remove to fit these up for now they will fit on afterwards but to make them hold is gonna be alot easier. However gonna be a fun project time to learn to weld now
I hope your not planning to use these as sliders.Quote:
