Our first day...


New Cooper's



ARB Bull Bar, ARB Underbody Protection, Warn M8000, Front Lift







First I did not want to cut the original fender flares. Bought a pair of cheap fiberglass ones. But after some mud play, they were all failed.




Final photos with the completed lift process, original "cut" fender flares;

Looks good mate
I love the canopy too
What's next?

[blackluv]

Thanks.
Next are;
- ARB Side step/fender protection
- ARB tow bar.
I've ordered these two ARB's and hopefully will be shipped from all the way from Australia to here soon

Also I have Yaesu ATAS-120A motorized antenna to be installed on the bull bar this weekend.

After all, I'm planning to paint the wheels either dark titanium grey or black.

Some action...

[VALERIO]

Hey Blackluv, what about those warn driving lights? I's thinking about get in a pair, but never saw it in action, are they good spreading the light?
BTW, very nice ute mate.

[mattz]

Looks like a good day out.
You have a nice variety of terrain over there too.

Hey Blackluv, what about those warn driving lights? I's thinking about get in a pair, but never saw it in action, are they good spreading the light?

Valerio, the warn w650d lights have a long range but they do not spread the light and a illuminate a very small area. More like spotlights... Also with the recommended installation, you do not know if the lights are on, no indicators inside. Easy to install with the wireless switch.

Few more updates;

I've covered the whole body with 3M clear protection film. Now i can easily run thru the bushes and trees
Plus;

ARB Rear Air Locker & CKMA12



ARB Side Protection & some rough road

Great photos, blackluv. Keep them coming. It's always interesting to see four wheel driving in different countries.

[blackluv]

Hello friends...
Here i am adding more photos of some of my recent trips around the city...

A brief story of the place "Belemedik" where the following photos are taken;

"In 1907 Belemedik became the center of railroad construction activities of the Philipp Holzmann company within the scope of Berlin-Baghdad Railway, one of the most prestigious transportation projects of the early 20th century. The population of the village increased by the inlux of Turks as well as the German construction workers. During years of construction 41 Germans died of natural causes and they were buried in Belemedik."

And the 100+ years old route i've followed is the service route used during the railroad construction. Very narrow and 500 meters of cliff on your side Hope you enjoy it...

















And now some photos around the Seyhan Lake / Turkey;











Some preps for the TransAnatolia Rally;



And some headache!!! When the A/C is on, on a long steep highway ride this still happens. Replaced the radiator, thermostat, coolant, thermo coupler... And finally ordered a 16" Flex-A-Lite Syclone Electric Fan and a smart fan controller. Haven't put them on yet. Let's see what's gonna happen.
