Goes awesome for what it is, wildly loud induction.

It red not pink also.

Plans are:

fender mirrors,

front lip,

lower,

15 by 8 -22 on the front, with some sort of flares.

15 by 10 -44 on the rear, black 4wd steels.

Im going to tidy up the deck with actual decking. Maybe lower the deck and narrow it slightly so its fits flush with the cab.

Finding it hard to find flares as its got a rectangular wheel arch. Any ideas?

And where the cheapest place to get 4wd steels?

Sanded the deck sides, put some marine varnish on, looks ok but tidys it up slightly for now. Also got a sweet hay bale for redneck pine! Although it has now been destroyed and was found all over cars in our street.

Got one of my front wheels, the last one they had in stock so waiting on the other front and two rears. This is an 8j.

Fender mirrors I scored also.

Got some tyres on the rears 225 50 15s and a 185 55 15 on the front. The backs good but I think the profile on the front may be a little small especially when compared to the rear.

The tyre was an old one though almost bald. I think a new 185 60 15 may look better, slightly more profile. I need a 185 as its got the perfect stretch to keep the tread in the guard.

What do you predators think?

Made a new deck this week. Used Miranti ply and satined the original sides to match.

Also put a rowdy exhaust in with a side pipe but its a bit too rowdy 118db on the limiter. 107db with the wof style test so going back to standard muffler so im not a bender.

Got pulled over for the second time this week. The 1st time I was a suspected looter, the second they checked my ute out.

The u bolt ends were exactly 100mm fom the road. 1 mm lower and I would have been stickered. The cop didnt know what he was on about, said as soon as i get a load on the bolts will be below 100mm.

And crashed into a powerpole drifting like lil jonny in the snow so I have to repair that before I can put my sides back on.
