[nathand22]

with the rear bar off and the RX panel installed....... well almost. ARB will be here in the morning with the new rear bar and ladder racks.
I will put some more up once the rear bar is fitted

:/ that bullbar sits out so far

just the angle i think mate, its the same as my old one and they both are the same.

Have to put the 225 narva's on, re fit the winch, fit the new UHF, get the rims and sliders powder coated, and pick up the Black rear sports bar off a 550 form the dealer.

nah the black one was like a dog turd and once it sat in the sun for a while it went WHITE!!

 

[KraftyPg]

There is a group of <insert certain racial group here> who are now wishing they were D40's

That sounds alot funnier when you don't have to be politically correct.

Nice work nathan.

 

[nathand22]

Nice work nathan.

Thanks Brad, i will have to bring it up your way soon for a day trip with you guys.

 

[joe2006]

Nice.

White is pretty forgiving too.

 

[nathand22]

Thanks Joe, I did get the before and after measurements like you suggested in the last PM,

FRONT BEFORE = 500MM (from centre of rim/axle)
FRONT AFTER = 555MM

REAR BEFORE = 535MM
REAR AFTER = 600MM *(empty and with out bar work)

The front will change by 5 - 10mm once the winch is put on and the rear will also sit a little more with the rear step/towbar and it should settle a little, i will take the measurements again once all the stuff is bolted on.

 

[joe2006]

A lot of blokes would be very happy with those measurements.

 

[KraftyPg]

Alot of blokes would need an elbow in the middle with those measurements

 

[joe2006]

Yeah but some of us manage just fine.

 

[KraftyPg]

And the lack of bragging from those people is a credit to them.

Looking good mate. My rear step tow bar took two and Hal months for ARB to get it in.
What kind of suspension do you have in it?

Thanks Jason, ARB came to my place to install the rear bar on friday morning before the 'SON OF TRIALS" BUT they had the WRONG bar and dont know when they will be able to get me another one.........

All the suspension was fitted by and is "ULTIMATE SUSPENSION" from Ingleburn,
and they are on the forum in the advert section

 

[nathand22]

Fitted the black sport bar off the 550 today, now to get all the other stuff to the powder coaters

Thought i would check how much the suspension has settled now that the ute has done 3000km, anyway Not sure if i read the tape wrong or what but the front is now at 565mm.... i was expecting it to drop not grow
