Not much has been happening with the old girl of late. I did get some new Tyres in the form of BFG KM2 in a 315/75/16. Stuck with the km2's as I got 100k out of the last set and they were still legal.

How are your alloy sliders progressing mate?

I was just thinking the same thing

I am organizing a welder and some more material as I would really like them done.

Yea I'd be interested to see how they go not that I can weld aluminium lol

As am I Troy. I do like the fact they are super light. Weight saving is certainly high on my agenda. I weighed the old girl not that long ago and with just Sharee and I in it and half a tank of diesel the ute came back at 2.7t. It's all controlled by the almighty dollar at the moment as I would love to make a start on a custom allow tray as well as I could probably save 200kg there alone.

Yea the tray would be worth it , im surprised at the weight of it though as mines only like 100-180kg heavier and you only have half a car lol

The weight makes sense as the tray would prob be over 300kg then I have a frame for the 5th wheel which is another 100kg or so , the utes also have the larger sub tank. Then there is all the other normal stuff dual batteries, winch bar with winch, tow bar etc.

If only you knew someone who welds ally! It's hard if you're doing it and it's all in the Prep work. My new tyres are also rubbing on the radius arm. Is there a fix to this?
