Alex's d22

[Big Al]

Hey all iv been on here couple of months now and have had a few post here and there but id thought id put up a garage thread finally.

So far the mods are:
UHF
front splits
2inch lift
2inch body lift
sunnies
33s maxxis mudzillas
HD tie rods
HD idler arm brace
rancho steering damper

Iv just ordered a xrox bar so that should be a couple of weeks and im also getting hid spotties and a winch at the same time but see how the funds are going.

So now some progress pictures
the first few is when i just did the torrsion bars up and had no extended shackles. I still don't know how i made the 33s fit.

 

[Big Al]

some more and still with out shackles also lost a flare one night to........ found it again though

 

[Big Al]

and this is were the body lift was put in but still no shackles

 

[Big Al]

and finally extended shackles went in and just abit of farting around at work
Could probably tried to get more flex but was still in 2wd and couldnt be bothered.

 

[Big Al]

Still lots and lots of mods to go but one day i might get there. Hope you all like and let me know on your thoughts

Looks good mate. I can help you with sliders, rear bar, recovery points and bash plates.

 

[Big Al]

yer iv seen you're work and they all look good so ill keep it in mind as they all that are on the list

 

[Big Al]

Haven't been able to give any real updates lately after having a car accident in the nav (not my fault) and only just getting it back with everything fixed. But on the bright side I just got new HD tough dog torrsion bars, the new xrox bar is going to be in on the weekend along with a new 12000lb iron man moster winch with rope hopefully if the funds allow it. Iwill post up pics soon

 

[Big Al]

So after a month or so I finally got my xrox bar and winch and to anyone who what's to get a xrox bar for the d22 let them do it. It to me 2 days to fit mine and still it's not %100

So the second part of my story is I needed new muddies as the mudzillas were getting abit worn and I found a really good price for a set only problem is they are 35s so I reckon I'll be doing abit of graud timming in the next few days and I can also say goodby to the rest of my power haha
Iv also got a bloke making up a 3.5" stainless steal snorkel and air box for the nav. I'm pretty excited to see how it turns out iv yet to see one on a nav. I'll post pics up next few days or when I get time

35's will look sick, but probably the worst move ever

 

[Big Al]

Yer I no but what the heck I thought if I never got them now I'd always be thinking about getting them. I got abit of a shock when I put them next to my worn 33s though.

 

[Busiboy]

And not all 33s are 33 and not all 35s are 35, simex 35s measure about 36 from memory and many 33's measure 32.

Best of luck with the trimming and bar fitting.

 

[Big Al]

Yer I measured this out to be just over 33" and my old 33s measured to 30" if I can remember rightly bit under sized but ah well they still say 35 on the tyer haha

 

[Big Al]

Just few pics to look at if ppl get bored, 35s next to my old 33s bit of a difference that's for sure i also manged to get 2 amps and a 12inch sub woofer behind my back seat with makes everything sounds nice inside.

 

[Big Al]

got the 35s on this arvo i like them and im pretty happy with them to makes the car so much bigger again

 

[Big Al]

finally got the stainless steal snorkel and air box on Saturday i think it looks so much better and the sound it makes now is incredible

 

[munchu]

Hey snorkel and air box looks great. Where did you get it done and how much?

 

[ekul26]

What did the 35s set you back
$$$?

 

[Big Al]

sore an add on gumtree a while back for custom 4x4 gear, all up fitted cost just under $1000

 

[Big Al]

35s were only $330 each i thought that wasnt to bad
