The night i picked it up.



Put on some roof racks etc.

Smashed on a set of sunnies, awning and stuff as the 80 series rims stuck like 2 inches out the gaurds.



Another pics just after the HID's were in.



decided i wanted some spotties on the roof.



Put on a nudge bar etc for antenna, but really disliked it.



New lift, white hardlid and XROX

[borngeek]

PM Sent Shauno, I missed this build - things can get busy on this site

Coming along noice, your the second xrox guy to go a bit mental with the spotlights!

[reeldreamer]

Geek there is a member called ringer here in Brisbane I sold him a set of bash plates and he has a cyber blue ML with 4 spotties on the front as well! XROX bars are really getting popular!

[Shauno]

Been a big while since i been on here.

Clutch died so had to replace it with a new item

Did some huge KM's on a trip down to Denmark/Walpol/Pemberton

Bought a JAYCO pop top

New seat covers...


On our way off on the trip


Down south








SUCH a nice place to go so many trees and so so quiet

Got some IPF spotlights to go on so ill be rearranging them all.



Also fitted some of these up the other night 34" Jungle trekkers NO SCRUB haha

[Shauno]

PS i already have outback accesorie bash plates too!

[Homer]

I missed this one too. looking mate.

Those tyres are awesome

[Shauno]

Those tyres are meannnnnn so harsh and bumpy, no grip on the road.

But offroad they are sick, altho CV breakge would be high.

[coxy47]

Looks awesome mate. Gotta love the look of the jungle trekkers.

[Shauno]

285 75 16 just to give it a go SO SO much more room to move, new tyres as soon as i sell one of my other 2 cars then i might just try some 35"'s.

Also mounted my fride in the cab as im getting a canvas canopy made up!

[Shauno]

Well i drove the car on sat night took it out for a 30 mins spin the sand (as a mate just got a 4x4 and wanted to test it) I drove up a couple of dunes one of them i hit rev limiter and smelt a bit of oil, told my mate his car needs to be fixed as it smell like oil haha.

Park it up sat night come out sunday and there 2 litres of oil on the ground, i thought it was my other car still leaking oil (VN Calais) bu when i got to my destination some one informed me i had spilt heaps of oil, when i checked it the car was empty?!?!?! no oil.

Filled her up and got it home, drove it to work and behold it was nearly empty again.

So we pulled the front seals out (cam and crank) as it seemed to be the problem, everything covered in oil and the car had done 160 000 kms i thought stuff it might as well do it all at once.

Timing belt kit
Hydraulic tensioner
Water pump
water pump rear housing (both coroded to buggery)
Rocker gaskets
Spark plugs
Full engine service all filters

Thankfully i work in parts and i have one hell of a customer who is helping out so so much!

Will smash up some pics here.

Deciding on some tyres ATM

Jungle trekkers 34"

or

silverstone MT117 Sports 33"

[whippsy]

sounds like a good freshin up

[Shauno]

Picked up some 285's with like 90% tread ST MAXX's for under $100 each

Got to the tyre shop to get them fitted, and apparently is illegal to fit them to a 7"rim. So looks like this week ill be buying some 8"sonnies in black this time

Tailshaft centre bearing is about to fall out lol, i have a new one here which im going to try and fit. Been quoted 700 upwards just to fit, even with the tailshaft out of the car...

[Lunny]
