ARB - Melbourne

[Showy]

@Tony - not lotto - Just recently got paid out for slightly less than half a house, if you catch my drift. Now don't have a house, nor a job (was self employed), no kids, and have decided to deck myself out and have a bloody good time for a while. Anyone that's unfortunately been through that crap will understand.

Bring it on!

I'm going threw it at the moment mate. Once I have all of my shit sorted, I'm getting my daughter and doing the same thing.

I'm only in Healesville to showy so try and catch up for a cold 1 before you go. Do you need a rear bar and sliders on your goodies list

 

[Showy]

Scotty - Just sent you a P.M.

 

[Showy]

Hopefully this works - Some 'Before Photo's'.

Scotty got a great deal with Mark at Tyrepower Croydon and was nice enough to drop around with a bottle of bourban for me today.

 

[Showy]

More than welcome - Nice to see a 5.7ltr Nav and some great sliders. Enjoy! Catch you in a week or so when the mods have happened.

 

[scottybobcat]

Look forward to it mate. Few drinks and talk shit about the navs

Ok, so got the car back today, going back first thing in the morning. My Complaints are;

1. Ordered 5 BFG Mud terrain - got all terrain fitted.
2. Asked for a spare fitted to a specific rim that was on the car - got fitted to a different one.
3. Got a snorkel fitted - no sealant around any of the joins - I can see a 2mm gap in one of them.
4. Have to go back because the shock absorbers weren't up to scratch (their call)
5. Nearly $600 more than quoted!!!

All in all between the workshop and home the car is now a truck and handles so much better than with the standard crap Nissan put on it. I nearly went ass over when I got out of it because of the combined tyre/suspension lift height difference. Will hopefully post some pics and a "happily ever after' post tomorrow.

I was talking to another member just yesterday about ARB Melbourne and the fuck ups

 

[Showy]

Scotty - I'm talking about your mob, not ARB.

 

[Hodge]

Lot of hatred to ARB in this thread. I'm gonna go against the grain here, but i've never had a single issue with their Thomo store. Been going there for years even before they became ARB (they were Northern 4WD from memory). Just my 2c.

On topic.... Looking forward to some pics Showy. Sounds like its a mean machine now.

 

[scottybobcat]

No hatred towards them at all, I here a lot of people that aren't happy with their service and the quality of their product now. all stores are different Hodge.

They have had 3 goes at trying to colour match a bar for me, im hoping ill get it one day soon

 

[Showy]

Just a quick update. I was wrong about the snorkel - in daylight, not 'torch' light it looks like a great install. The reason the price was more was because they forgot to put the snorkel on the quote (we were all in a rush at the time), the the extra dollars for a fitted snorkel is very reasonable. Currently waiting for AT's to be changed over to the MUDs. Great service, and nothing's a problem. Will post pics tomorrow.

 

[scottybobcat]

that is what I like to hear Scotty. If they have made a blew the boys are more than happy to rectify it. Diamond creek Tyrepower on the other hand.

 

[Showy]

Some 'After' Photo's....

 

[scottybobcat]

Looks good Scotty. You need a set of sliders now mate.
