Might have to follow AB & Biggus Riggus's lead and do the bunnings flares too, makes my 2" lift look non existent now!!!!!!!! lol

Gonna look at getting some sliders to replace the bent up alloy ones, then eventually front bar.
He's not a bad ol' bus, just clocked over 200k but has just started the good old peeling paint syndrome these things are know for, so I guess I'll end up having to strip him down and give him a new coat at some point
yeah your truck will certainly look alot more capable with those annoying alloy bars outta the way and or replaced, im just going through the same process, my thread is in the DIY section if your interested in the pics. im striping it to bits and my mate is painting the whole thing. im even gonna change the colour of the dash. this is my second troll, and the greay is wearing a little thin on me lol, always been into black, so thats what the paint job is gonna be.Quote:

yeah I've been having a look at your thread there, will definitely be keeping an eye out - love a good diy thread. Black will look bloody great, I think there's a guy on here called Ady who has a Safari, he's not long sprayed it black and it looks the dogs nuts mate, bloody fantastic............... I'm just a servicing newby, and not overly mechanically minded but did the last oil change, coolant flush, thermostat and thermostat housing. Also did the lift kit with a mate of mine - he instructed while I did it........................ I like the whole learning process and like you said , it's a good feeling. Next thing to learn will be A/T fluid change & diff oil and a few other bit's n piecesQuote:

personally i have no automotive background, i am an IT technician, mostly always worked in offices or bars, but i love to fix things, and buying old cars give me that outlet, thats what i love most about cars anyway. its ashame they are getting so advanced tho, cos it means that tinkering for someone like me is soon to be a thing of the past.
ill be posting up some more pics next week and a new DIY thread on how to install a pertronix elec ignition kit, cant wait to figure that one out:thumbup: and cant wait to share it with everyone on here
yep that's exactly how I did mine, back on page eight I think!!!!!! lol....... I'm in the same boat as you, always on the hunt for stuff and bargains on the net, very rarely buy anything mind you but always looking!!!!!!!! hahahahaha..Quote:

Mate if you go 4" then it will be 35's then a new house............got to ask yourself is a 4" worth it...LOLQuote:

Hey Clunk,
The new wheels and boots look great,
Look foward to hearing what you think of the performance and handling of them.
Gavin
Thanks Gav, early days with the new boots, we had a spot of rain a few days back and have to say I'm impressed with the grip of these things on a wet road, superb under breaking and cornering (unlike my old and pretty worn BFG A/Ts), now I can drive like a hoon once again (ok maybe not)!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha....................... haven't had the chance to try them off road yet but will keep you informed.Quote:

Going to have to come up with some sort of quick fastening and release for this thing as I've got buckleys chance of parking it under the carport with it on........
