Having helped @Indestructible 47 fit TT smart coils, parabolics and pro remote Resi shocks to his HDJ79, I'd highly recommend them. Mine will be here next week
I wish haha. I’m not too sure on which shocks. I saw that a fellow mud member got bilsteins not too long ago. BP51’s are wayyyyy out of my budget. I need to look into parabolics.

Highly recommend the TT gear, absolutely transformed this my truck. You will notice the front sway bar is now gone, such is the control of the TT pro shocks. I'll get more pics later of flex

Looks great! What tires are you running?
G'day mate, I just bought some 2" Terrain Tamer 100kg+ Smart Coils for my Troopy, and 4 of the 'Expanded Body Firmer Ride' shocks, and one of their HD 35mm steering dampers. Pretty keen to hear how you find the smart coils. I need some 2" rear leaves now. Ute looks tuff as
Thanks man! Just some cheapies, I got a sweet deal on some 285/75/16 Falken Wildpeak MT. $200 per tyre fitted in Aus is pretty cheap for Brand New ones.. so had to go for it! BFG MTs were almost $400 ea !
Does it smell like you burned it? It looks great.
Finally got mine off pavement!

Hey mate, the smart coils are really good. I was running brand new emus on the front and found it handled like a boat in corners. The smart coils seriously do a really good job in the corners, that taper works well. I think you will be impressed with them and I reckon you made the right decision on them. Can't comment on the shocks I went with the pro shocks. Hopefully works good for ya. Cheers

Installed a new ARB winch bar with 10,000lbs warn
Little bit in a good way. Sanded with 1800g paper after burning then wiped with damp rag and oil soap.
Was about to hit the Kalahari desert for a week or two and I knew that my new fridge freezer would suck my aux battery down on anything longer than a quick one night stop over so I took the solar plunge. The switch board will be covered and trips for the panel and battery added as well as multi fuses for the " Loads", also removable and can be used in camp if necessary.
I'll have to make proper holders for the pannels , but , it worked as is. In the eventual setup, i will still keep the panels in the roof top for the long fast tar road part of the trip, and zap them on to the roof when I get " There". The system worked so well, that my intellegent battery relay always saw the AUX battery as having a higher voltage, so it never switched on while the panels were up.
2 by 120 watt bastards in series, and she takes no prisoners.

Noticed how different the air box lids are with the diesels and the 1fz engine. Do you think it would make a difference to swap lids in hope of more airflow?
I kinda figured. Just thought that the diesel lid looks more restricting vs the 1fz lid.
