Been reading a few bits and pieces around this site and I must say that there is a lot of lovely looking gear going around.

Thought I may as well join up and chuck a few pictures of my rig around. See what everyone's thoughts are

A few specs
When I got it it was a standard VDJ79 2008
Had only 66k on the clock and was stock as a rock right down to the steel split rims
After buying it I put on some 16x8 black sunraiser rims with 285/75/16 tyres (33x11.5)
Stayed like that for 8 months clocking up around 30k KLMS as it was being used as a work vehicle.
The I moved up in the the world to a bigger truck as I work bus so this young girl was retired to a parts chaser and a toy for the weekend when I was on my R&R

While in retirement mode it was treated to a set of mud tyres of the same size
Then came the 3 inch exhaust. Pleased with the sound is an understatement. The exhaust consists of a 3" dump pipe to a full 3 in system that has only the one muffler.
Sounds like a petrol V8 and turns heads when ever I sink the boot in.
Also lowered my fuel usage and I feel it gave a slightly better throttle response as well
Rear wheel spacers were fitted to get the rear wheel track inline with the front (2.5" each side :eek:)

Also fitted a few cosmetic things to it such as a bonnet stone guard stickers on the bonnet scoop ( V8 turbo diesel )
Fitted a new am/fm aerial and cb aerial

Coming up before Christmas is a set of 2" lifted front coils and a set of 2" lifted rear parabolic springs for the rebrand also fitting up some new fiberglass front guard flares to keep the tyres inside the guards hahaha:)

That's about it for now
Doing research at the moment into a new high flow turbo and new computer tuning for it to unleash the beast ( 280hp at the rears is easily achievable )

Cheers
Hellboy
 
it get's way cool when you reach 100!

Nothing standard about that truck, we only see them here on the crocodile hunter re-runs!
 
I would love one of those! Nice looking ute
