Haha mate unless I convince my mates or my missus to come out and take some photos, that is about the best action i'll get a picture of! I'll get some poser flex shots soon at least..

As promised, some poser flex shots from the yard, front end needs flex arms or something asap! Still a blast to drive though. Also still really need new tyres..

Everybody likes photos, here are some from today. Couple poser flex shots, didn't get any shots of the better tracks but will next time for sure!

New creepies, 37/12.5/16.. Waiting on some rims, was gonna get 16x10 but after reading quite a bit about leaky beads and bias tyres I am going to go with the 16x8 -50 pro comp 52's. Should be able to go to 10psi safely before I get em beadlocked and big offset because it's more stable and to be honest whoever doesn't think it looks awesome is lying to themselves.

So it's staying more comp than daily driver then? Those Tyres and rim offset are gonna see you chewing through front wheel bearings and king pin bearings.

Apart from that its a good looking rig.

X2 you will need to per load the fork out of your wheel bearings and remove the shim packs from the king pin bearings to preload the bearings more. Otherwise the wobbles are going to be a common thing.

My current rims are 15x10 -44 which sit 19mm further out than a 16x8 -50, so should be less stress on bearings with the new wheels.. If they go then they go, i'll replace them and continue. It's not going to be built as a daily but it currently is being driven daily. Some time I would like to get a smaller run about car but if that doesn't happen soon I don't really mind, I would prefer to be putting the cash into this first anyway.
