Did the Vee Dub make it? :lol:

I use throttle out method when all else fails, only issue is, the brake fluid eventually boils and the T/C gives up. :lol:

It went surprisingly well, he made it up that one in the video, left behind all 4 mudflats, an inner guard and buckled both side steps. Still made it up though haha, very capable car standard.
Ohhhhh thats what happens, Traction gives up quite regularly for me haha, just didn't know how. I need to have it put on a switch by and auto electrician

So bit of an update.
20s are sold, and now running a set of old school toyota alloys with 32" Mickey Thompsons. The 32's are temporary until i get my 35's :D
Also tried some headlight tint for a while for that stealth look. Not the best idea, even with 10,000k HIDs i still couldn't see shit haha :?
Also have made a stainless frame that sits just above tub for my rooftop tent and also for my bike rack for the pushys 8-)

So just a quick little update.
Turfed the 32s and bought a cheap set of 20s and had them sprayed and went back to the 33x12.5 Federals.

Also Installed a new intake system utilising a K&N Apollo filter and a small mesh filter in the snorkel head.

Machined up a set of the 25mm seat spacers for the front two seats. Holy shit that made a difference haha :D

Will be posting a few pics tomorrow.
