Looks like a good list. The only thing I would change is the Ironman lift. Only because when I did mine a cpl of months ago I got 50/50 those who said they were ok and those who hated them. Went for West Coast Suspensions, lots of mining trucks there and I could see them before fitting etc. Three year guarantee.
Auto sparky in Albany or Mt Barker maybe??

Hated driving in the East with the amount of traffic, and only recently getting 2 lanes from Syd - Melb it came all too late for me.
A lot of families i knew, are still around, we have just gotten older lol
yeah, I know
every time I head down there, its not changed that much - haven't been for a couple of years (no reunions or deaths in the family)
although I DO love the all ages playground - always stop there for a hour or so

[*]50Lt Waeco Fridge/Freezer
make sure you run a dedicated cable from 2nd battery to the fridge, the Waeco's have a bad habit of needing good clean power.....
couple of my mates have had all sorts of trouble with the cables.........

I was going to go WCS or Tough Dog, but on the weekend, was talking to my Brother inlay, and he swears by ironman. He has has Ironman in his Navara, and patrol Tray back, and travels to the red centre and northern WA up too 4 times a year, for the Finke and the likes, where he races, and he loves ironman. For the price, I'm going to give them a go, and if it all turns to a hard as concrete ride (I've done many a mile in stiff suspension in Military vehicles so I'm betting this will be ok for me) I'll buy WCS Springs and fit them. Problem again resides in living in the country, because WCS wanted to charge me, 340 for shipping the package to me lol I'm getting screwed !!!
I have bought a Tough Dog Return to Centre Steering Dampener, so I have something that isn't Ironman
They seem to be getting better in their stuff though. The young fella that I saw in for the Suspension, is good mates with my Step Son, and he told me there is a place in Bunbury, that in the last 10 months alone, have swapped out 3 suspension kits for Ironman, and 12 ARB Bars for ironman bars . . So between him and my Bro Inlaw, I thought, why not

Well, I'm just about done.
COMPLETED:
- 2" Ironman Lift
- Tough Dog RTC Steering Dampner
- 285 75 r16 Cooper S/T Maxx
- Dual Redarc Battery System
- Boost and EGR Gauge
- 3" Exhaust
- Dawes and Needle valve
- Uniden UHF
- HID Strikeforce Upgrade
- Headlight and High Beam HID Upgrade
- Poer Sockets for kits in Rear seats
- Narva Power Hub in rear for Fridge and other Auxillary items w/ USB plugs (20Amp in line fuse)
- Rear Drawers with side wings
STILL TO COME:
There is still the roof rack to come (its in the post) and I will have it by Tues next week.
On this I have a White plumbers pipe with Baffles and comes in @25lts and a Tap off that. Reversing Spotty on the rear of the rack. Spare Spare Wheel, and I will Weld Jerry Can Holder onto it as well.
I also have on order and will be fitted on the 10Nov is a Kenwood DDX7015BT 7" in-dash Stereo/Touch Screen Unit. It has iPhone/Sama=sung Phone Mirroring. This will then give me Mirroring from my iPhone for Mud Maps and turn by turn navigation. Will be able to play Movies from the Phone or iPad for the kids. (am looking at hard wiring a 10" Screen for the rear so they don't have to strain on trips.I thought about a dedicated GPS, but with this Unit, I can kill 2 birds with one stone.
So I'm nearly where I want it. If I come in with the Trifecta on the Melbourne Cup, will put Air Lockers front and rear, and will put it in for a Injectors and Fuel pump over haul. The car I have always wanted is near completion.
My son jumped into it the other day, and he had a flashback from when he was a lot younger. The word out of his mouth were, "Dad, this reminds me of the trips I did with you in the truck. It smell like your truck, and its as high as it too" haha I had to laugh.
One thing I have noticed since I put the exhaust in yesterday, is the + power I'm getting on the right foot. I will say I need to fine tune the Dawes and Needle, but right of the bat, putting my foot down, I noticed quite a bit more take off . . . It really is surprising the power from just dropping in a bigger exhaust. Quite remarkable.......
Will drop some more pics in when I'm done
