maybe losen the shackles a little and retighten, might help? of course you always tighten when wheels are on ground.

Cheers for the tip, I did tighten the shackles while the wheels were off the ground so that may help.

Time it had a bath I rekon

New shoes fitted today! I ended up just going with 265 75 16 Maxxixs Bighorns, they arent as noisy as I thought they were going to be which is a bonus.

Very happy with the mods I have done, now I just need to get it dirty!

 

[Leprechaun]

looking like a proper truck now!

The Bighorns will get noisy as they wear a bit.

 

[gshannon]

Cheers mate!

Yeah I did read somewhere that they get louder after awhile but all good

 

[Firestorm]

looks good and very lucky u getaccess to that shed! bonus its got a spray booth in it!! wont fit in ur garage there anymore

 

[ljacko78]

nice truck mate !! Reckon you could swing a roof top camper on that rack??

 

[gshannon]

Definatly wont fit in there! We are renting this house while building another and made sure the garage was going to be 28c ceiling which I know will fit everything in.

Id be pretty sure the rack would handle the weight of a roof top tent, have been thinking about them for a trip I want to do soon

 

[Jason]

Tyres look great mate.

Came home today to find a package at the door from Prestige Comms (even though I didnt give authority to leave) and fitted it straight away. I put the main unit under the centre console, it fits like a glove! It may get a little hot down there during the warmer months so I will have to keep an eye on it. Will just attach the handpiece bracket to the dash somewhere with double sided tape when I get some

And for those interested, I decided to go with the ICOM IC-440 and RFI CD900 antenna and happy with it so far

I have placed the cables well away from the gear stick to avoid damaging them

 

[hutchstr]

that looks like it was made to fit in there!
looks good..

 

[gshannon]

I know hutch, I was going to try and get it in front of the gear stick/under the dash somewhere but there wasnt much room and stumbled on this little pocket. Forgot to mention its a ICOM IC-440

 

[hutchstr]

sweet thanks for that, might be a good next purchase!

Fitted some Narva 225 combination lights to the bull bar today and all I can say is WOW!

Now these are the first spotties I have fitted to any of my vehicles so I cant compare then to anything else, but saying that I am very happy with the light output. Already thinking to myself how I drove for so long without spotties.

Fitting them was pretty straight forward with the supplied loom, just need to tap into the high beam which I did behind the headlight, there is a fair bit of wiring included so one day I would like to have an auto sparky mate clean it up for me

Will plan on upgrading them to HID, just need to lat the bank recover!

 

[Dave]

Oh they go well HID'd.

There are a few pics in my thread showing the light output.

Dave.

 

[gshannon]

Cheers Dave, Ill have a look

A recent video of a little rutted out hill at the Mundaring power line track, the best stuff didnt get filmed, the nav went very well, completed the whole track and only had to avoid a couple of the extreme hills/decents
