Hey everyone. Been lurking around the forum getting some info here and there for a few weeks now, thought I'd finally post some pics up of my rig. Picked it up from Perth in Feb this year and drove it straight home to Tom Price. Only option I got with it was the ARB bullbar as I wasn't to keen driving the 1400 kays home unprotected! In the first couple of months I put on the ARB rear towbar and step, Lightforce spotties, Two-way and some decent all terain Bridgestones to get me across all the gravel and in the sand a bit. I'm going overseas in a couple of months so any more mods are on hold till then but as soon as I get back it will be getting 2" lift, canopy and a set of drawers.

It's first wash when I got home

And side on, great highway tyres but thats about all their good for!

Looks allright, your truck....I'm a Territory bloke, but I'm working at Cape Lambert. If you ever get over to this part of the coast, look us up and we'll have a beer at the Point Sampson Pub.

Finally got around to posting some updated pics, I put the ARB rear step bar, Spotties and 2-way in the first few months I had her. Then went on the big trip overseas and not long after we got back put the long range tank in, and a couple of weeks ago put the 2" OME lift in.

Off to Broome this arvo for NYE celebrations and hopefully some fishing!
Early next year will be investing in canopy and drawers.
