Popped off my flaking rain gutter trim and wrapped with matte black Oracal 651. Cheap and easy. Also got my winch mount built and solenoid mounted on a stainless steel mount under the battery tray.View attachment 1312819 View attachment 1312820 View attachment 1312822 View attachment 1312823 View attachment 1312824

Great idea with vinyl wrapping! I am a little new here and haven't seen that yet...a little annoyed with my flaking rain gutter trim myself. How much of the norcal did you buy and where? Is this stuff pretty durable? Last longer than repainting you think?

The rear I'm not sure actually. But all side windows are sprayed. This may be because it's a bronze color.

So you can clear all the windows of the factory tint? Holy s***! I was just thinking an hour ago about how to tint my windows darker, but still have them look the same!

Drove it to the marina to do some sailboat racing and discovered something I'd missed before.

It's only 48ft so I need to charge a little extra for the next round of fire extinguisher mounts. Daddy needs 50

Where did you get 48' out of this picture? Are you one to exaggerate length sometimes?

Received these pictures today. We are making progress. Behind the blue tape and cardboard is a very sexy Ron Davis radiator. Should be running soon.

Love the mechanical fan build. I always thought this was best for cooling

Who is doing the build?

It's a must if you plan to tow. Ron Davis wouldn't sell me the radiator if I was going to run electric fans.

I like the idea of adding a small electric pusher in front of the condenser as well. Do you have a build page? What are the specs on install?

There will be a complete and seperate thread on my build when it is complete and tested. Just wanted to show some teasers in the weekend thread. Thanks for the interest.

I was planning on leeward side but there are no more reservations available for camping, I guess I'm just gonna make a day trip out of the north shore side.

If you want some company let me know, as long as the weather doesn't get really bad.

Fitted Winch and awining last night, ready for a trip up north in QLD (Stradbroke Island)

My truck is 7600 lb and the intermediates in the rear are pretty good at 70mm lift loaded

We use the heavy duties in up to 9500 lb trucks.

I think you might be a bit confused about spring rates

So what are the specs on the springs? Info is very scarce and there is no website! How do you expect to sell your stuff?

relax. This stuff is essentially brand new and just recently starting to make it's way to the states. There's no more than a handful of "kits" actually in use in the US currently. There has been a lot of anticipation and discussion but the whole thing is still pretty fresh. I'm sure all the details will be available, although there is already a decent amount of info already.

Could take a bit of time to read up on everything but there's a lot of info available. Here's some links for those interested.

There are still no specs! It's a site and gives something to look at but still lacks more info...what are the pounds/inch ratings for different lift springs and what lift ranges are there in inches not mm?

Have you gone through the other links? There are specs. Be patient. More will come.

I thought @AutoCraft Aus answered your questions in another thread?
