So I couldn't help myself, I installed what I have of the lift kit, probably should have waited, but that has never been my strong point.
So we have 3" flexi coils, monotube shocks, adjustable panhards, extended brake lines, brake proportioning bracket, steering dampener, rear upper control arms.
I'm pretty happy with it so far, definitely looking forward to some castor correction! :eek: Standard rear shocks at the moment, about 20mm up travel left as it sits!

Looks good mate, all the better with the new boots n lift
-
Looking much better with the lift!
how bad's the road noise with those new muddies compared to your old tyres?
-
Looking good Damo!! We should meet up sometime and compare notes, Love the look of your rig mate. Enjoy!!!
-
that's a very tidy rig, if I had a 4.2L I'd be grinnin' ear to ear!
-
Thanks guys.
Yep I am grinning from ear to ear ! :)
The tyres are a little noiser than the A/T they replaced but you have to expect that. Definately not offensive at all, I barely hear them at all now.
Mudduck, def mate, real keen to go and play some time!

With the trip to Fraser coming up quick, and a bench full of stuff to fit, I didn't get many pics of work I have done as I went along.
I have installed LED interior lights to replace the existing globes in rear, centre, and front map lights. Great mod, well worth the money. I picked them up off ebay. Much cheaper to buy individual globes if you know what your after, but I had little time.

I finally changed the wiring for the LCD gauges I have. They didn't dim at night time. I re-wired to the dimmer switch.
I had to remove and refit my rear drawers 3 times over about a week. I completely wired up rear area with:
ARB air compressor mounted inside rear 1/4 panel,
installed drop down table on large (RH) barn door,
changed sides for fridge slide for use of new table,
wired a proper engel plug into trim panel for fridge,
a 12v cig socket in each side at rear,
LED strip lights on both barn doors
LED strip lights in side awning (great idea I stole from others, works really well)
LED flood lights on custom made telescopic pole. Also seconds as a spacer for spare wheel.
LED driving lights mounted to roof rack. Very very bright.
Divider next to frige - a bit rough but it was the night before we left.
I also sorted out my spare wheel with a new rim and a second hand MTZ in the correct size.
I apologise for the mess in the back, still cleaning up and packing away properly. It doesn't normally look like that, but peer pressure has caused me to update this thread first. (edit: Oh and zinc from the kids on the door trim, nice.)

Telescopic Work light. The pole is powder coated yellow, I found black paint doesn't stick too well.

I now have heaps of room down LH side of fridge. Been thinking of making a box or something similar to sit there to hold stuff. I removed the pockets in the trim to maximise space. I used it for my tool bag on the Fraser trip, and to hold the spilt washing powder apparently.
