Sounds like fun but I'm in Chicago this weekend - maybe this summer though. Will let you know when we are heading for a run shortly.

cheers
 
Hey where is the aux tank, you should put one in, the 70 series tank fits and is the same size as factory.
 
I know - I want to put one in but prices for used ones are too high. I'm still looking though. An aux tank would be great - and I kinda need the extra weight now - my truck is too light in the back end!

Do you sell coil spacers?

Couldnt you find a BJ70/73/74 tank?

I seen a 75 series owner one day with both his spare tyres stapped down over the rear axle. I think I know why:D

Im going to let a few psi out one day when I find time
 
Just found a tank thanks to exmodlad - going toget it and install this summer - will be great for the long trip and extra weight.
 
Thanks for the pic Ross, do you have a picture of the sides and rear? I want to cut the sides and add the tie downs - looks great.


Found the battery recharger:D
The latches on each corner are my favourite type as they are easily unbolted and replaced if damaged.
You can also put a small padlock on them too.
They act like a rachet/wedge and become really tight as you push/hit them.The black bit is rubber
This is important on an alloy tray as the sides will rattle and drive you crazy;)

I plan to fill in the gates on the inside so I can use them for cooking and meal preparation

This could be a new business venture for you:D. Many American trucks like F150 use alloy trays in oz for their versalitily and low maintenance.

Some owners build HD gates that can be used as sand ladders or ramps for loading quads etc;)

If you need any close ups ,just ask;)

No more business ventures for me - no more time. Most of the people who drive pick ups here don't use them to carry things funny as it sounds - and I'm not sure if they'd like the look of the trayback - things are weird here.
Thanks again.
 
Added some new tires today, 36 inch TSL super swampers. (SAM-27's) . They fit well, only the left tire big gnarly knobs touch the steering arm when fully turned to the right - maybe I'll add wheel spacers.

Going to do some flex testing tomorrow. The wheels are not balanced now and really need it - the balancing beads will be in tomorrow.

Sweet, looks good.
Those are the same tires I am getting for my BJ42. what width rims do you you have there?
Cheers,

EFS suspension here in aus make a 5"lift for the 79 series, including coil spacers.
also an ARB bullbar for it make it look heaps meaner..then the locals will like it ha.

Any experience with EFS suspension? I see it getting a lot exposure on 4WD TV on channel 31
 
The rims are 6 inches wide - I need wider rims though. Deny, make sure you get balancing beads though as these tires are way outta balance.

And my bumper still has to be welded up properly, I'll be adding a few more tubes and plates here and there, have to make a trailer hitch first though.
 
if you do wheel spacers then you will rub on the front fender rear corners.

there has been mix reactions with the beeds and powder for balancing...those are not big tires and any competant tire shop should be able to balance those with normal weights.

crank in the limiters till you just kiss the steering arm...

looks good with some real meats on it...

Good point about the spacers. Will try the balancing beads and let you know how they work. There are a bunch of different kinds of beads - these are silica based and stick to the low spots by static. The guys said they'd need 20 ounces on one of the tires. My rims are pretty hammered.
