Here's the new ARB Bullbar to suit the new V6 STX & STX550. Had it fitted on tuesday, first one in the newcastle area fitted by ARB Newcastle. Jumped at the opportunity as they only got 4 bars out off the first run from the factory and said it would be a couple of months before they got anymore.

fitted the Alpha Canopy last weekend after a change in colour for the new ute.

Looking good mate, starting to get there, so when does she get new shoes?? lol

Well not sure.want a Calmini 5" kit but don't think I can do that to such a new ute, haha..
think I'll go with a set of Radflo adjustable struts for the front and some Tough Dog leafs and shocks in the rear. Then some new Mickey Thompsons.

yeah the Cal 5" kit would be nice and the price is good at the moment, but im happy without it all the same especially with the sway bar disconnected.

The radflo struts will be sweet, what Mickeys will you go? MTZ?
 
The FCII aren't really just an "all terrain" their a hybrid tyre, part all terrain, part mud tyre. If you go to there website it explains about there design. That's why their a little noisier then normal.
 
G'day mate,

Nice new truck!

PS, you could have broke it in by heading up to the Cape with us!

Regards,

Ok thought it was about time I updated this.
So I started by modifying my tray, so that the tailgate was fully sealed to keep water and dust out off my draws when they get installed.

Add the seels

crimp lock seels down the sides, dual seels across the bottom and a little piece in the corner to fill the gap.

Start stripping it down. go through and loosen everything that's going to be removed, but don't remove anything yet

support the lower control arm while removing the UCA from the spindle.

Then remove drive shaft from spindle, remove spindle and strut.

Remove the rear subframe and remove the diff from the car.

Due to time limits there are less photos from here.
Fit the new front subframe and refit the diff mounted to the new subframe and hold up rear of diff with a jack.
Test fitted rear subframe and line up to fit new diff mount.

Install the rear subframe.
