first list of mods
some cheap tyres to learn on
black 15 x 8 sunraysias ( on there way )
sandblasted and painted tray
2 inch lift kit ( to be fitted )
given it a good clean ( was filthy from a life in mudgee )
chrome grill
here is the sacrificial surf for all my nice bits and to part out came with end NOV rego near new bridgestones new radiator and all the fancy surf bits and peices
chucked the surf buckets in
got the muddies fitted up to my rims as i was getting impatient and went for a little run
wife bought me a new toy
did some more wheeling
few little updates to add to the list, some new 33 12.5 15 BFG KM2's and put them on some hurricane wheels i have cleaned up and painted properly, EFS 3 inch lift , front diff moved forward 35mm, dropped drag link, picked up a front and rear 4.88 diff set (i bought them off a bloody tranny in botany sydney lol ) with a front lokka , got myself a recovery kit after a few little misshaps,put my winch on and got myself an ARB compressor and an ARB tyre deflater
got a little stuck
got stuck into the cab , pulled the lot out all bar the crash pad, its was FILTHY with a lot of what me and a mate like to call "dirty wattos virgina juice" from a few bog puddles.
so i got stuck into cleaning it up and finally got around to changing all the plastics over on my dash to shiny news ones from the surf, got the new stereo in, got the center console in and all back together, im very happy with it now as i have somewhere to put my wallet and phone................ such a simple little conveinience
heres a few pics
all cleaned up and back on the road
bit of a flex
broke my front diff so chucked 4.88s in
me and some mates did some more wheeling

decided on a wider track

and thats my truck from august 2010 to now
Nice toy and good to see your taking it to the limits.
I miss having a half decent 4x4 since my last MK Triton-some lovely pics in the rough stuff and I know how much fun that is-good stuff.
Great to see it change over time and getting full of Watto Vag Juice!
Thanks for sharing.
I Climbed Mt Druitt
looks mint now, but if ever car needed a turbo its this. Turns them from gutless slugs into decent fourbies, mx_paul converted one and the car is 400 times better now. Should be able to DIY for under 1500 including getting getting the pump remapped, given you can weld. I think he used a ct12b.
