Mattys Extra Cab Build. SAX TSDS Fitted

[murf6]

mate the new wheels look awesome. What brand/offset wheel are you running mate. The black wheel looks great with the grey paint.....

[Mattya]

So as you can see in the above photo, my new rims arrived so popped down to the tyre shop and got some cooper st maxx fitted.
So far pretty happy, very little if any road noise.

The wheels are ballistic havoc 16x8 -6offset. They just poke out the side so I will have to adjust the location of the back mudflaps to keep it looking legal and I had to remove the front flaps as it was slightly rubbing.

Another recent addition to the dash is a scangauge and an EGT gauge with the sensor in the manifold.

Nice rims mate! Your truck almost looks black in that photo.

Mate, the canopy is a bloody work of art! Love it!
How much light do the led strips put out?
What size tyre you running now?

[Mattya]

The LED strip lights light up the back super bright. Ebay special for about $25 for 5m. but I have heaps of spare if you want some

Tyres are 265/75R16.

[Supersonic]

What offset you running? They clear your calipers good?

[Mattya]

-6 yeap plenty of space. The stock wheels were 15's on the x cab.

Here's a closer pic.

Hey Matty,

Geez your your truck has come up nice mate. Really nice package you have put together and easily one of the toughest looking tourers I've seen.

I actually think your truck is more of a expedition style truck to be honest... too tough to be a tourer!

Compliments to your trimmer... Your canopy has changed my mind on canvas canopies.

What next for the build Mate?


Cheers
Matt

Thanks Matty,
It has turned out almost exactly how I had visioned it. Next up are some buds sliders/protection and the diff drop kit.

I'm planning on moving out and living out of the lux and touring around the WA coast for a couple of months.
Good times to come.

Lucky bastard... very envious.
Will you head south or north first?
I'd love to do a WA coast trip... one day!


You taking the Mrs?

When are you thinking of leaving?

Sorry for the 50 questions



Cheers
Matty

[Mattya]

Il be heading off on my own, it's not working out for us Atm.

Il head north first. I can leave my car at work for the 2 weeks and travel from there on my week off. So I think coral bay and exmouth will be a spot for me to frequent.
I still will be working, just instead of flying back to perth il drive from site.
So I can get 3 weeks of touring northern WA done in 2 months.

Hey Matty SMICK looking lux mate builds going great just wondering with the ARB battery tray are you still able to open the main fuse box with the battery still in it. I fitted mine last week and cannot ge tthe cover off ( without breaking somthign that is )
Any help much appreciated

Cheers Ross

[Mattya]

Hey Mate,
I know exactly what your talking about. However yes you can still remove the fuse box cover. I can't remember exactly how, but I recall having to squeeze it a certain way to get the clip near the aux battery to clear the tag that holds it.
You just have to hold your tounge precisely the right way

[07luxyTD]

Cheers mate
I learnt not to use to much force for this new cover

Hey Mate,

Your truck looks sweet, just wondering how you attached the roof racks to the canopy? Did you have to put holes in canvas?

Cheers
Mat

Hey mate nice build!

Just a question, how much roughly did the canopy set you back, as im thinking of doing this myself!

Cheers
