I went to do the same thing with a genuine steel one the other day and it the trunk wouldn't close - was so close but no love. Ended up coming back with a bike trailer to throw it onto..

Pretty sure that's the one I bought ages ago...
I picked mine up from ebay for something like $12 delivered.. have a look on there - just be sure to get the right plate as there are a few different ones for different models etc..
Managed to pickup a stock steel bar for a good price so will clean that up and give it a spray in the next few days and see how it looks. Will be pretty happy to get rid of the shitty alloy one!
Also sourced a rooftop tent from tigerz11 at the 4wd show and they threw in a 22" LED light bar...
Hey just wondering if anyone has changed their genuine alloy (the big ugly one) to the genuine steel bullbar ? I picked up one from the wreckers for a good price that only has one mount included with it.. so was thinking/hoping it might mount on the same brackets.
cheers
So most things turned up and I got all the gear in over a few afternoons - managed to get 90mm lift in the rear and 70mm in the front. Pretty happy with it!
Only problem was one of my struts didn't have the "installation kit" (washer and coil mount) in the box, so ended up buying some near...
Picked up my new leafs and coils from zordo and had a good look under my nav to discover it has airbags in the rear :/ Pumped them up to 20psi and the rear sits nice now. Mental note: look harder. I've had it for just over a year...
Awesome mate - looking forward to hearing how this all goes... I picked up my coils and leafs today off zordo and hopefully the shocks arrive mid next week. Can't wait!
Yeah mate, I think it's been covered a few times already.. but basically they're 6x9s in the front doors and 6" in the rear doors from memory.
There's a nice grommet in front of the passenger seat to get through the firewall and room under the seats is plentiful for a smaller amp - I run a...
Yep as above, check out this thread by Zordo - http://www.navara.asia/showthread.php?t=812
He'll point you in the right direction and not rip you off.. He's in Brisbane too.
A surprise root canal and wisdom teeth removal pulled the pin on the radflo's/prg UCA upgrade.. so Bilstein 5100s it is! Should be here in a week or two. Will chase some coils and new leafs from zordo in the meantime... looking forward to it all :)
Well got the rims and tyres on - starting to look a bit better I reckon! Ride seems to be good but it's definately spaced out the gearing a little further - I think I like it though. Tyres are 265/75/16 Cooper ST's on 16x7 sunraysias. Offset is +18mm going by my dodgy tape measure method - no...
Cheers fellas. Yeah it is pretty tidy for being 140k old - It seems that it was owned by some grey nomads before I got my hand on it and they looked after it pretty well!
Oh and I'm in Enoggera. Looking forward to catching up with some of you guys on future runs.
Have been a member on here for a while, but never really posted.. so thought I'd introduce myself and throw some pics up of my build.
Basically it's a stock '06 diesel with a canopy. I picked it up about a year ago and this pic was taken the day after I got it up at Double Island:
Hours...
