I'm going to try blacking out the top half inch of the headlight to minimise stray light

The only way around that really is to aim the beams quite low. Unfortunately with standard lenses the light from HIDs gets thrown around all over the place. I had the same problem until I fit the DEPO lenses with projector beams. HIDs in them and I have them aimed where they should be and never been flashed once.

Looking good mate. What are the future plans? Did you paint the Long ranger or did it come painted?

Cheers,

Chris.

when fitted by ARB

got a Yukon Grizzly installed
not to bad on the street, just have to drive smoothly and stay off the throttle when going round corners.

Haven't had it off the bitumen yet, will have to wait till next weekend






installed at 25000 km's

just about to put the diff back together

Front or rear locker?

Being an auto locker it will be a rear one mate!

yeah, they're only available for the rear

So how do you rate it mate, how'd it go up Mt Walker?

What was the cosy installed

unfortunately, it wasn't installed till after Mt Walker. I'm planning a quick day out on Sat (11th) to test it.
cost was $1100 installed (including a new set of bearings)

started installing my Bud's Customs sliders and underbody armour recently.

the sliders were painful to bolt up and they're not quite symmetrical on the vehicle, but overall they look good

will post pics soonish

Any pics of your sliders mate?

sorry mate, will have to wait till the weekend.

too easy

got my new maps (OzTopo) for the GPS today. Will give em a run this weekend.

got a Rhino Sports roofrack installed


got it done by shop1auto in Gladesvile (Sydney). Fast install and cheapest I could find ($540)

also, I recently replaced my HIDs with Phillps Crystal Vision halogens. Very nice globe, and almost as bright as the HID's. Much happier with the light spill/shape

Now I just wish the auto-sparky hadn't done such a crap job on the install. Coz I have some wiring to fix before I can get my air horn and lightbar to work
