Getting better by the day....... Custom tray time stiddy

Yep, just gotta buy the steel tube and checker plate.. then will have a go and just see how it comes out. Also going to extend the Xrox sliders out a little or add to them and make some custom brush bars to the Xrox bar.
A tray like BEN115 has would be pretty sweet.

Going to get new rims (Method rims with Monster Rides rim protectors) and 35s to try and get this rear diff off the ground, got hung up a few times on the thing.
A different line was all that was needed, but extra lift from 35's would be good. Having said that everyone except for the Jimny got hung up on diffs.
Spoke to Matty from MR again today about getting these 70-75mm extended shackles happening to.

Also uploading another vid, its 11mins long. Its got some of the stages and some other odds and ends in it. Mrs made it for me today with vids off her phone. Still waiting on Go Pro footage and my mates footage, they have 30hrs or so trying to turn it into a 10-15min video.

Man you have done well, and the truck looks fantastic. Let us know how you go with the rear shackles from Matt as would like to get some when they are available

Will have to watch out with extended shackles if you have a ARB rear bar, my snake racing extended shackles required a fair bit of grinding of the support mounts on the rear bar to be ground back to fit/ well not ground back cut off

I wont have a rear bar if I have a custom tray, and im hoping I can flip the stock draw bar upside down or something and just get a drop down tow hitch to tow my boat and stuff. Or better yet get some bigger tyres on the trailer and lift it

After the weekend are you still thinking custom cv's are needed mate?

Not entirely sure to be honest. Probably yes, but the front end isn't the problem at the moment. I'd say getting the rear diff higher off the ground to be more of a concern.
Monster Rides will be doing more RnD with the front end, diff drops, upper control arms etc etc so will see how that all goes, but im thinking with the coilovers the CV's will definately complete it.

The thing crossing my mind is, realistically yalwal, watagans, monkey gum etc etc For me thats probably about as far as I'd want to punt the truck because anything more then that will just cause damage. It takes the fun out of it if your constantly breaking things and turns an alreaday expensive hobby into something almost out of reach cost wise.

I'd like a more capable truck, not to go and attempt rediculous tracks, but to do the above tracks just better and easier.

Having said that, I say that now. Wait til its twin locked, crawler gears, 35's, more clearance etc etc could be a different story.

Thanks mitzikatzi.. gotta work that out lol.

Thats pretty much all the stuff i've got until I get the rest from my mates.

There is one very small clip of my drunk ass in the front seat taking the piss out of monkey gum on the drive home but thats about all and probably not worth putting up lol.

[trouble]

Is that 6 stages??

[Scale]

Mate I gotta say you're living the dream good on ya! But I've also gotta say you're push'n the limits and you may find the weakest link at the worst possible moment.
Great to see what our little tritons are capable of.
Cheers bud keep up the good work.

In hindsight it was a pretty big rock and it was her first time lol maybe should have been a little easier on her lol but camera made it seem a little worse than it was.

I'm at bob jane getting a wheel alignment.. Toe was 19mm out lol hmm doesn't look like I've bent anything though. Gotta get it sorted before going away again tomorrow..

[Fruity]

Funny as, you know to stop the encouragement when the tears start. I would be pretty happy with her effort looked like it was a pretty tough climb. Soon you will not be able to get the keys back!
