There ya go UAV - couldnt take too many pissing down with rain.... but you get the idea - i need to space the rear of the tray about 8-10mm to bring it level/square now. Couldnt pick it before but can now....

[fridgie]

Very nice!!!!!!.......... both of you

Good score on the rack UAV looks sweet

[tassie_ml]

[ML-VR08]

Go back a few pages and you will find a pic of the frame work.

i reckon my tub and canopy looks hot - but boy oh boy it has given me grief so far.

if i was doing it all again i would go this way for practicality, and now, looks as well.

Both those arses look good guys....... ummmm erh

Well triton is gone, went today. Didnt really want to sell it but I just dont drive it. Sat here for about 8 weeks not driven as I have a work car now. But I also recently bought a gq patrol ute for the weekends away.

The new toy

[Steane]

Bit sad to hear that you sold the Tri mate. You were well up there as one of the more innovative Triton modifiers.

The new truck should be a lot of fun off-road

Make sure you bring it out on some NTN trips

Nice mate

It would be pretty quick on the 33"s

Nice mate

It would be pretty quick on the 33"s

Assuming they can maintain enough grip to hold the 100rwkw...

Looks good, can't imagine how well it'll flex

[ML-VR08]

thats only 134rwhp boys cumon - ive been in a couple with 180rwhp, now they are fun

[jop]

I said pretty quick

I know some quick pootrails too mate Gotta love wheelstands on 35's

[fraz91]

Yeah, friend's dad has got a turbo'd 4.5P and it's currently making 220kW at all four wheels. He could push it harder, but figures that 220 is good enough for a daily driver/tourer.

To be fair, my mate has an FTO with a twin-turbo Galant/Legnum motor shoved in there. Not sure, but I think it's got 250kW at the front wheels. In a car that weighs 1100kg. Anyone know what "torque steer" is?

[Kyle173]

I do miss my old 400rwkw.

[Kyle173]

I do miss my old car 400rwkw

[mattz]

You miss it twice as much^^^^
Looks good Tim
I was just wondering,the other day,how you were going.
Thanks for the update.....make sure you keep us informed.

[UAV]

Yeah been a bit flat out lately. Haven't had time to get on here... Flat out with work. Just sold my house, looking for another project, planning a cape york trip, birdsville races trip, up in the high country about every 4 weeks, bonnie doon every 3rd week... It's a hard life but someone had to do it.......lol I've gotta get back on here more, seems I've missed out on a bit

Hey Tim. I saw your rig the other week turning onto Lewis road. Bloody hell it's looking good. Looks real tough! My canvas was done by a lady in upper gully J&J canvas. Was $850 fitted, pretty cheap IMO. I've had 3 mates get the same thing. Southerncross canvas wanted about $2000+
