That is nasty. Yep always stop, think, then act! MONGO

harrop elocker arrived today which is the last piece of the puzzle now i can send off my diffs and get the elocker put in the front and a yukon grizzly in the rear with all new bearing and seals as well as 3.72 auto gears she should be a whole new beast after all this

exciting times ahead

is it ilegal to do a bodmount chop?

not 100% sure... if you do a nice neat job no one will be able to tell

theres a lot of other things they would ping me for first like tires, lift, fishing rod holder

SR5 tailgate trial fit on SR tub... no problems at all



now its off to the paint shop.. going to leave it clean no badges or stickers... may even lightly tint the brake light and tail lights.

Hi, was the sr5 tailgate direct bolt up or what do you need to modify to fit the strikers etc?

all you need to do is :
1.remove the SR strikers and tailgate
2.install the SR5 strikers. the top hole of new striker goes in the bottom hole of original striker position you will need a 4mm washer between body and striker.
3.drill new bottom hole for new striker and install bolt (remove taillight to get to back of bolt).
4.tailagte hinge is like for like and a direct bolt up with original hardware.

note. i counter sunk the SR5 strikers and used the original SR bolts for a neat flush fitting.

Aahhhh awesome i may look into it later when i find one cheap as i hate the handle setup on the sr tailgate with a canopy. Thanks for the info!

hey mate, wondering if u could tell me what size rim and offset u got on. also what size tyre and how big/wide are your flares. I want to put sum kut snake flares on my sr dcab hilux but not too sure bout the rim offset and tyre size. I got told to go with 0 offset if i wanted to put flares on with a 16x8 and 265-75-16 tyre but the problem is they didnt tell me how wide of flares i shud get.

ive got 0 offset 16x8" rims... 285-75-16 tyre... flares are from utemart they are either 50mm or 55mm wide

0 offset is ok but +10 would be better its just not as easy to find. patrol steel rims woulld be the easiest to find.

If you think of getting rid of the canopy kempe send me a message mate, trucks looking great to man love the rubber

Gee that snatch could have been a lot worse. Great truck mate, enjoyed reading this

thanks guys she is coming along slowly.

canopy will be staying on for now... love having my fridge in the back all the time and the dogs seem to like it aswell.

33" is a good size.. im due for new rubber very soon and ive got my eye on a set on mickey thompson ATZ P3... living in the desert and pretty only doing beach driving the mud tires arent needed.

will be picking up a set of Dick Cepeks Fun Country tires next week... they seem to get very good reviews and for the price of $330 each i jumped at them.

was quoted $450 for mickey thompson ATZ P3s and the same price for BFG KO2s ... my MTZ were good tires and back then i got them for $380 each.. i would of stuck with mickey thompson but their prices have gone through the roof.

I believe Dick Cepek is now owned by mickey thompson anyway.

done about 1000km on the dicks so far all highway they seem like a good thing. a lot quieter then my mud tires.

had a quick play off road but nothing serious.

Prices seem to be all over the place on car sales($25-$30k) ect and none on there seem to be modified

Mate I guess it depends on how quickly you want to move it. I spent 6 months watching the market before buying mine, like you say there's a big spread. If you've got a range of prices in mind, try advertising at the higher end first and see what sort of interest you get.


Cheers
Crit

thanks mate

i reckon 30k would be good enough so ill put 32k on it.
