Ok cool, haven't been that way for a while. Seems I am always in the Cessnock area or Singleton area for work.

Reason I asked who repaired it is, my brother is the forman panel beater at East Maitland Body Repairs.

Well set up D22.

Well done.

Dave.

 

[dunkmuddie]

just put 285 75 r16 mickey tompson MTZ on

 

[Laith]

[dunkmuddie]

looks bloody good with them on.

yeah made a huge difference hey so happy with the extra ground clearance an just more aggressive stance

 

[Jason]

They look great, I'm looking at the 265/75's for mine.

 

[Cruiserstu]

looking good mate, just a quick question in regards to the toughdog shocks as im looking at fitting them to my d22 as well. Are you happy with there performance on/off road, are the adjustables worth it or do you think they are not needed. Im thinking of fitting them with extended shackles standard leafs and winding up the standard torsion bars (lookinf for flex, ha ha). As i said looks good especialy with the 285's.

Hey Dunkmuddie,

I pranged my ST-R also. Hit a cow at high speed in the night up north (dipped headlights).

My airbag didn't go off either WTF? I hit hard enough to kill the cow and my ute! I did $15,500 damage. Scrapped the two front guards, inner left guard, bonnet, radiator support, headlights, Hella 4000's, nudge bar (useless), radiators and fans, water pump, aircon compressor, alternator, headlight protectors, grille, aircon hoses, cyclone prefilter and had pass door beaten and re-sprayed.

I hit hard enough to break a bone in my left hand and bend the steering wheel, but airbags failed to go off! I hear you need to hit on the right hand front corner where the sensor is to send 'em off.

Mine took 8 weeks to fix and when rebuilt it was also fitted up with a Steel bullbar. Looks great now and steers straight, no wheel alignment necessary as chassis was straight as.

Anyways, your rig looks sweet, tyres look nasty!

Regards,

DJ
