Installed a new side awning & also had a Berrima tune up on thursday.
Going for a 150km 2hr drive to Korumburra to help out Westy's pick up his bullbar off TheBigFella. Then off to Cowes 70km 1hr drive to see someone about a winged chair.

Went off to bunnings, bought my very first angle grinder and a sidichrome 60 piece socket set. Picked up a replacement alloy bullbar for a 6 pack of JD.
Removed the old bar, ground off the scrub bars from the steps. Keeping the steps on for now because of the kids, will get some sliders on there down the track. Chucked on the replacement bar.........makes the front end look rather bare now. Thinking I might either spray the grill black or even bling it up with a chrome one lol

No scrub bars...... Looks odd after all this time with them on

Don't slap it, tap it!!!!
Had a look at the rear section of roof by peeling some of the head lining back, no rust! What so ever! Pulled the sunvisors off and looked through the hole, no rust!! Sprayed some fish oil in, but will get some flexible hose so I can get the stuff in everywhere within the roof section. Happy days!
Spotties or a light bar would sort that front end out mateQuote:

put a new safari tuff clutch in and fitted a sub amp and new splits with their own amp for the stero
yeah I'm thinking maybe a couple of 11in light bars running underneath the main lights and a couple of spotties in the middleQuote:

Reckon you need to chop off those bits of Roo catcher at the bottom too to improve approach angle....Quote:

If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
Good stuff Parksy - you seem to have picked up a really good GQ for its age. No rust in the roof probably indicates it is fairly good right through .....Quote:

That's what made me think of it!Quote:

Took it down the coast for a light beach run today. And took it out to get a load of firewood yesterday. Found out my little girl isn't a fan of 4wd just like her mum unfortunately but I reckon I'll win her over in a couple of years when she's a bit older. Either that or she doesn't like being in the ute without her child seat

Yeah did that to the last bar, they're not so low on this one though, so will see how it goes. May just chop out the middle........ The bar is only temporary til I get the funds for a steel one or custom bar made.Quote:

I can put one in mine too. Mine's a 2005 GU DX ute, with no frills. It's gunna cost me about $190 to do it and because I've still got my 'bench' seat, the anchor point has to go on the passenger side, not for the middle seat.Quote:

If you're considering doing this, check with your fitting station or government gurus on this subject - before you start drilling holes.
Yeah I had to take it to an authorised restraint fitting placeQuote:

I should have looked at the radar shouldn't I ? Half way through ripping the kaymar bar off , I got 4 bolts that just would not budge, and to top if off, that misty rain began soaking me very quickly. Not impressed lol.
Yeah thanks guys but the one to convince isn't me its the minister for war and finance and I can honestly say that only when he'll freezes over will there be a child seat in the ute.Quote:

Just finished taking kaymar bar off and reinstating the factory bumper. Not as hard as I expected for a one person job. Hardest bit was loosening some of the nuts in very awkward spots. Getting spanners and sockets in there was tricky but eventually I won. With the bar off, I realized how rigid the kaymar bars actually are. Very very solid units. I'd hate to rear end someone wearing one.

Best tool I ever bought is a battery powered impact wrench...... Makes light work if almost any bolt or nut!Quote:

If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
Why you taking it off?
I've got a bunch of the Ryobi tools with the same battery. Was in Bunnings a few weeks ago and they had the impact wrench on sale without the battery for $99.....too tempting, and it truly has become the most used tool I have.Quote:

Got one mate. But was useless, since most of the nuts were in very tight spots, some JUST had enough room for a deep socket and wrench.Quote:
