Flexing the new Ultimate Suspension

[stackator]

I have to get that suspension and those tyres!! Looks hot

Any shudder or negatives about the suspension upgrade?

[Dunga71]

None mate,all good

[Dunga71]

Couple of mods to the bash plate,some side wings and a piece of stainless mesh behind the vents.

[Cowboy Dave]

That mesh looks interesting. Where did you buy that? Does it have a particular name?

[Dunga71]

I dont know where you would buy it,but its used to make strainers in oil pipelines and comes in different hole sizes

[Dunga71]

Finished product

Bash plate looks great.......... always wonder about something getting through the gaps, Off to do the cape next year might have to attach some grate myself.

Hey mate, im just wondering if you are happy with the roof basket ? Does it seem to be made well or do you think you should have spent a few more bucks ?
Im only asking as i am looking for one myself and for the price they have them at supercheap, they seem hard to pass up. I only wanna put light stuff in, eg dome tent/swag , sleeping bag.
Thanks.

Yeah it was a last minuet decision before i headed up to Fraser Island as i ran out of room in the tub, they where on special at Super Cheap for $100.00 i ended up getting an Ridge Rider water proof bag with it aswell.
Very happy with it mate,seems strong enough i did the Fraser trip and a few up the high country and its still fine,it humms a bit without the bag in it but thats the only down side.

[trumpy955]

Wow that is cheap. Wish I got that deal. Theyre 175 now.
I only want one cos I'm going up to Myall lakes on the weekend or a bucks night and I will be taking 3 others in my ute. So being able
To put the swag and sleeping bags up top will def be a good space saver. Plus any trips down the track obviously same idea. Appreciate the feed back mate

Fitted a camera yesterday 170* angle ,water proof,infared which works great at night and sound,i ran it straight to my navman gps,i drew the power from the LH reverse light and ran the Av wires along the chassis and poked them through the large grommet under the passenger seat.
The thing i liked the most is when operating in normal gps mode as soon as you select reverse the camera comes on and displays on the gps,i thought i would have to select AV every time but she does it automatically,all up it cost $125.00 including a packet of cable ties and 2 F/F AV connectors






Early morning sun so the display was a bit bright

[snappyrow]

Very nice Dunga! Exactly what I've been looking for! Which Navman unit do you have? I've spoken to Navman retailers about the aux in feature and all they could tell me was that I'd have to select the input, not that it could do it automatically.
Cheers, Tom

Hey Snappy i have a MY75T which i believe has been replaced by the 85 now

[snappyrow]

Great, cheers for that Dunga, now where did that Santa wish thread go...

[Dunga71]

Inside of the ARB bar i had replaced under warranty,didnt think it was this bad



New onewas fitted yesterday they have made some improvements as the new one has more adjustment so it can sit out further,no more rubbing on the gaurd and front nose cone

[Dunga71]

Getting some materials together to start buliding my Custom canopy,cant make up my mind about a firberglass one and there too dear so i will have a go at one myself,a mate who is handy with a alluminium welder is giving me a hand.

[Dunga71]

Made some tin corner pieces today to see how its all going to gel,getting the measurements right so i can get the most out a sheet of 3mm ally should get the roof,front and 2 corners out of one sheet,ol mate has some offcuts for the other 2 and then all i need is some 30x30,40x40 some security mesh

[big_bob_thefirst]

Looking forward to seeing the final outcome! Canopies are way too expensive but definitely the way to go if you don't need to use it as a ute.

[whiteonedifflock]

Thats going to look trick mate . Hope your making doubles
Of it all . U can drop mine off at the shop when it's done . Hahaha.

[Duck]

Looking very nice Dunga I must say, but very cheaky of whiteonedifflock to ask for the extra canopy that you are making for me, don't you hate mooches It would be nice to have the skills set to do that sort of work myself but alas, my car would end up looking like the Great wall ute for sale Sorry Kegsy.

[Dunga71]

Ha ha i rekon she will be a one off fellas,spent most of today with my mate scratching it out, we now have a final design and i have ordered the materials this is roughly what it will look like and i will have canvas covering the 3 lift up doors for when im travelling
