It started life as this

I dropped it off at Westside ARB in Brisbane (Footo's) and got a few things fitted
Like these

My OZtent was too big to fit into the wagon, so i got this

The standard suspension was shagged, so i call suspension stuff for 4 inches of goodness

then added 35in shoes to make it look like this

Looks awesome mate. I like it a lot. 4" and 35's look great. Do you know what sort of fuel consumption you get with this setup? Looking at similar myself.

I noticed the switches for fridge power and aux battery. Do you have some sort of isolator for the battery and fridge separate? What and how? ? ?

What sort of deal that you couldn't refuse did you get for the locker?

I'm keen to hear about the other little items you mentioned.

Thanks mate,
I've currently git the standard 3:9's diff raito. but i'm getting approx 15l/100km (800km's) day to day driving.

The switches - Fridge power switch turn on/off the rear power board. That is switched via a relay under the bonnet so i dont get voltage drop. and the AUX battery switch is the link override to the Redarc isolator. this way i can link the batteries together if the starter goes flat or if i want the winch to have a little more "punch".

the deal was supplied and fitted locker (i fitted the compressor myself) plus a few extras for alot less than retail...

Other little things are like 55w 6000k headlights & ipf HID 55w 6000k upgrades on them aswell, LED interior lights, re-wired the engine bay to neaten up the wiring (pet hate is messy wiring).
turbo timer, alarm system, tuff clutch, engine / turbo work....
that sort of stuff.

the wife hates the car cause i just keep throwing $$ at it.

:bananarock:

Am I seeing another GU you got in the shed???
Nice set up truck mate...

Cheers

G'Day Munter, great thread, love the gradual build-up photo's, I've got to say I am very gealous, as I am in the early stages of doing my very own build-up of my 2001 GU 4.2TD as well, just bought it 3 weeks ago. Once again your truck looks fantastic.

luv the truck mate 35's and 4inch lift go hand in hand.

Fitted the flex arm today with the help of a mate

took less than an hour... it was a little too easy to put in.... quesexclaim

But we decided to give it a quick flex test


still got more down travel to go on the front, could have chosen a better angle
