Hey guys, asking this question for my dad. He's got a SOR bikini top, has had it for about 5 years now. The plastic strip that holds it in the channel has started to tear along the seam. Being in Aus there is nothing like it and he's going to have to order a new one. He doesn't want to shell...

Thanks man!! If you ever make it to Western Australia, I'll happily let people come for a wheel! Cheers guys!! Cheers, yeah man!! The Trepadors are one of the only sticky compound tyres we can get in Australia and they are amazing!! Traction was never an issue, ran them at 10psi.

and now for the action shots!! These shots were taken at a property few hours east of Perth. Some of these were taken by professionals, including 4x4Images. If you guys want me to include anything just PM me.

its been a while since I updated.. a fair amount has happened to the truck! i'll try and keep it in order. finished making the wrap bar, tried to get the lower bar to offer some protection to the driveshaft. I've since been told the shackle mount should be the other way around.. when I...

i got them made from Longfield in the US.. surprisingly cheap!

alrighty.. done a bit lately. since last time I've made brake lines and diff breathers, got the hydraulic lines made and rebuilt front knuckles and bearings, installed ARP studs on the knuckles and now i'll let the pics tell the rest of the story! first up; finished the lower shock mounts &...

hey man, cheers! nah, it will probably never be engineered or registered.. road rules in WA mean this is a trailer queen without some BIG changes in the law..

I did some more work on the ute.. got the power steering cooler and overflow tank mounted. got a few low pressure lines done. I had planned on getting the orbital valve mounted so I could get my high pressure lines made. unfortunately I need a steering column out of GM (commodore)...

well finally finished the front diff, and I reckon it is fairly insane.. but I'll let you guys be the judge!! i didn't get many photos of the mock up for 2 reasons, firstly because we were a bit busy and secondly it looked ****ing awful for a while there!! if you want a full step by step of...

Hey all, got my hands on a double ended 6" stroke PSC ram for full hydro steering, as always plans change. Now I'm wondering is anyone running a double ended ram as hydro assist? Anyone see any issues? I know I couldnt have the ram mount direct to the tie rod (as you would with a single...

it was a 60 series housing.. because I didn't outboard the springs the drivers side perch would normally sit quite high in the pumpkin, the spacer means the perch can be shifted over 1 1/4" which will bring it down the pumpkin which means lower perches and more room for steering arms.

and so here's a few full shots of how it sits at the moment.. so once i get rid of those sh*t little OEM side steps, plus adding the 3" wheel spacers, means the inside of the rim will now sit outside the widest part of the cab!! outer rim to outer rim comes in just under 2.1m...

and then about 3 months later.... we did a strip down on the front end to do a shackle reversal and upgrade the power steering to 60series box with the TrailGear pump.. we then discovered the front diff housing was bent, due to some over zealous sand dune jumping. in the down time between...

started the teardown of the front end.. got the spring hangers and the shackle mounts cut off. sorry bout the photos, best i could do at midnight.. finally as it became too late to be angle grinding, mocked up the new front bar.. back under its own weight!! only temporary to get my...

while the rear diff was out, i braced it with some 75mm shs. pretty sure i wont be bending this anytime soon here's some pics. still need to add a wrap bar and finish up the shock mounts.. so here is how it stands now under its own weight again. my front springs were beyond...
