Jason, you joined a bit before my time. I joined 96 as a MT, I was taught by your era. Good times. I may know a few guys on Success around that time. I did most of my time on Freo's in Darwin You got out at a good time.

TJM do them (ADR Approved). Mine are from TJM and they are bolted through the rear firewall behind the seat. If you want photos let me know and I may be able the get some after work.

Check where ARB now get there Suspension made, its not buy Munroe anymore.

Mate, after that you need to go over to the sand pit. 18k is a lot of money in anyones book. At least you wont need to waste your money on a new car when you get back.

Trav1987, I live in Anula.

After seeing this I wont pass judgement.

16 years as a Marine Tech in the Navy. Currently In Darwin on Patrol Boats (floating coke cans) post to Sydeny at the end of the year.

I have the ARB delux bar fitted to mine. I have compared it to the ironman bar and there is no difference except the cost ( about 1K ). If I had my time again I would have gone the ironman bar and spent the remainder of the money on other mods. Up to you

Being a Engineer in the Navy, fueling Ships, Boats and fuel trucks is a common part of my job. Cars and the like are a bit of a different issue than ships, however the same principle applies. Without going to far indepth on this issue, static electricity is potential energy (stored energy) is...

Thanks for the post, been looking for a volt meter like that locally (in darwin) for a while. Went to Jay Car today and picked my self up one.

Jonno, the limit in the NT for tyres is 50mm. But how many 4wd's do you see each day with 33" tyres on them. No one up here really worries about it. I Called the mvr the other day and they told me I could put up to a 4" suspension lift in without any paperwork or engineers certification.

Mate, you do not require a smartpass with the 250s for a dual battery system in a 4wd. It's more designed for battery banks. The big diference, with out getting to technical, between the redarc and the ctek is that the redarc compensates for voltage drops in the system. I've installed both...

A fuse/breaker should be fitted from the starting battery (as close to the starting battery as posible) to suit the current rating of the cable being used or the equipment to be run, then a 40amp before the charger (as close to the charger as posible). The first fuse/breaker protects the cable...

Scotty and Ryan, These are only side steps (for now) I would not be using these as sliders as they stand. Scotty I've seen your sliders and they look the goods , however its the welding to the chassis that worries me. I'll be looking into different mounting arrangements over the next couple of...

d40ryan do you have photos of your sliders and how they mount to your chassis? Whould be interested to see.

All made. Now to clean them up and paint them. For what I do they will be fine, not planning on slidding over rocks with them, plus they look better than the factory side steps. They give alot more protection than the factory steps also.

Progress so far. Went and got the metal required and for under $100. One side is made and on the Nav. All it needs is a bit of a clean up and paint, then to start the other.

So I have looked into it further. Firstly, you can weld to the chassis rail but it will have to be engineered approved, however it will void part of your warranty. Sliders are only allowed to be bolt on. Secondly there is to much shit in the way (fuel lines and shrouds) to worry about, so i'll...

Thats the problem, due to the fuel lines on the inside of the drivers side chassis rail the U clamp wont fit around the chassis rail without rubbing on the fuel lines. Plus on the passenger side there are lines that run on top of the chassis rail. I'll have another look and see if I can...

joshman, the side step mounting bolts are under the sill if that makes sence. The issue with making something solid enough to ack as sliders is the mounting arrangement to the chassie. I dont have a problem with mounting them to the passenger side chassie rail, as you have access to mount it and...
