Christos D40

Been on here for a few months so thought it was time I creat one of these friends.

Purchased a 2007 D40 STX TD in June as a stocker and began the long road to make it a Hiulx killer.

This is a few days after picking it up:

Then fitted a 2" Body Lift courtesy of Zordo, factory snorkel and suspension lift. Gave me a total of 5" of lift all up.

Today I fitted the new rubber, Mickey Thompson MTZ's in a 285/75/16, after some trimming and melting of plastics im happy to say it doesnt rub anywhere. Still waiting on some Dynamic rims or might even powdercoat the stockers.

Still to come are triple Hella 4000 HIDS, just making the custom bar at the moment, also ordered a air locker from the local ARB today, should be unstoppable soon

Will post some better pics when I get a bit more time.

Cheers

Kris

Looks pretty mint with MTZ's 285's fit with 2" body sweet must do that, you get front or rear locker?

Rear locker for now...

It has 5" of lift, 2" body lift and 3" suspension using Bilsteins, also running offset camber bushes up front

Nice looking ute, Mickeys look good

What are the offset camber bushes worth?b Thinking i might need them when i lift mine in a couple of weeks. And did you just use the adjustable bilstein shocks, or new springs as well?

I paid about $180 from Peps for the lower control arm bushes. Labour to put them in is about $300-400. But if you don't have camber adjustment chances are you will need these.

I'm running the adjustable Bils with Dobinsons light coils

$300-$400 labour? Must be quite involving...
