What a setup John.... :lol:
When you get the bullbar you should be able to squeeze another 6 or so on there as well. ;)
Looks great mate. I burnt my retinas looking at the night shot.
I assume you drive as night with a welding mask on for the glare??? :P :P

little update, I'm off to Adelaide next week to pick up my bullbar, then when I get back, car is going in to get back window re-tinted (in 5% this time) then a set of Cooper ST's in a 235/70/16 will be fitted (provided they will turn in the guards) then I have to source a rear locker of some kind (not an air locker) and decide if it needs the 2" lift or not

Looks good John..

I didnt realise they were only a 5stud pattern.. i would have though they would have been 6 stud like the rest of ours... either that or john is counting himself as one too so the lux will feel like a 4by when its finished! ;)

did you decide you didnt want the side rails after all john ? would have taken a while to remove all your landing lights.. :)

haha thanks guys

Yeah didn't want the steps anymore steve, just felt like a change. Took 6 lights off with the steps and removed all the front ones getting ready for the bar.
Yeah only 5 stud, i would of thought they would be 6, but i dont think the 4x2 lux's ever have been 6. Luckily Ford rims have the same offset. Upgraded from 14" to 16" 8-)

Looking great John... 8-)
What sort of bar is it???
So... once you get the rear locker are you going to give the beast a run down that hill at Jenolan??? ;) ;)
Well done mate..
Why not fit the LSD out of my old girl??
