The "Tank" - Big, Grey and Ugly ..

Bought some vinyl roll that looks like carbon fibre and going to re-trim all the old fake timber inserts on the doors and centre console this weekend. Saw it on a mazda and it looks a treat!!!

Where did you get the vinyl from Scottie, looking at re doing all my door trims, as they are pretty sad @ the moment

I'm going to try the fake timber arm rest pieces (where the power window buttons are) this weekend - fingers crossed it comes up like the one I saw (except for my two left hands doing it!! lol) and I'll bang up some photos straight after. Got the roll of vinyl yesterday and it looks fantastic!!

That's the plan!! If it looks good and lasts (apparently you can use it on the outside also? UV and water resistant etc?), I'll probably throw some on the step of the rear bar, steps of the sliders, and wherever the hell else I stick it in my whirlwind way of doing things!!!! lol

The only thing is its not very hard wearing (for steps etc) but on the plus side if it gets damaged, it is easily replaced. Good luck applying it, if you need to conform over curves etc a little bit of heat helps (buga all heat)

Just a thought on putting something nice and smooth and shiny on steps .
Don't slip on it & break your neck .
usually anti slip tape is the go isn't it ?.
1 Sunday out and about, unfortunately got stuck, get the trusty winch cable, mud in the boots.
go to get back in and big endo landing on ya backside slippen on that smooooooooth stuff, get a vid of that for us pls, lol.

True mate, there not really steps as such though, and the vinyl will be no more slippery than the current powdercoat I figure - that said, I'm not sold on it, just a thought ... I think checker plate would be more the go ...

Yay!!! I now have a mod compliance plate on the truck for fuel system and turbo/intercooler!!!!! Apparently they don't do a plate for suspension?? But he's listed it on the compliance certificate to keep in the glovebox.

Bit by excruciating bit, it's coming together!!! Two more sleeps till dyno and fingers crossed, I have my rig back on Friday night!!!! I'm beside myself with anticipation!!!!

yeh I don't think they make a plate for suspension here either, I assume you have gotten it engineered for the lift for it 2 be compliant...... How much did that set you back?????

Would love 2 get mine back in and engineered before the law changes, not that i can see it happening, but I can live the dream *L*
