Cool

Looks good so far. I considered the tub chop myself, but figured if I hit that part of the tub on something I'll do it then, if I don't hit, it wasn't needed anyway

Got a tad board on Saturday so had a go a knocking up a roof console. Dunno what I'm gunna put in it yet but I'm sure I'll find something.

Started my new job at the local ARB store so now I can get all my goodies at cost price! Also got my diffs sorted thanks to an ARB breather kit. Next will probably get some on board air happening then give my very tired suspension some love with a full OME kit.

Good gig!

Nice truck OP!

Looks good! stoked with the ARB gig, surely you don't mind helping some of us fellow newhilux members with some discounts? hahaha...

Not the rite place for it I know but if anyone reading this has any ideas for keeping water outa the starter that would b awesome! Every time I go out for a play in the mud and water within a couple days the solenoid starts corroding and it gets hard to start. It's easy to pull down and fix but it's a pain in the arse!

Stay outta the mud! Problem saved and saving a lot of pennies for your other goodies

Been a while but here's a bit of a update on the build. Got an arb air compressor under the bonnet now, picked up a nice recovery kit and high lift jack from the 4x4 expo last month so have started on a set of toolboxs for in the tub. Still haven't decided where to mount the jack yet, any ideas?? Got a set of reversing lights installed and put an led in the underside of each door trim which work a treat when out bush at nite. The main project I've been working on and almost finished is my bullbar. Got my hands on a slightly damaged deluxe winch bar off a triton and went to work cutting it up, making some mounts and bending some tube. Still gotta make a top tube but was goin camping on the weekend so I wanted it on there. I reckon it looks like the goods so far.

Nice job on the bullbar mate

Nice work on the bar mate

Love the bar, awesome job!

Thanks guys! All I need is winch for it now. Thinking about the new zeon from warn.

yep that's a great looking bar and good idea on transforming it into something tougher looking than the norm

Nice job on the bar mate. Doesn't stick out much further then the Oem bumper either

Yeah that was the idea, the one thing I hate about most bars ya see is they stick out too far. Managed to get it tucked right in and still have room for a winch. Got it up good and high too to suit the body lift gives a great approach angle.

Started having a muck around making a 3inch exhaust sarvo. Starting with the dump pipe. Can hear the spool already!

Great work with the front bar & your general fabrication - very neat.

Where did you get the lights you've used for the under door and also reversing?

Thanks mate! Why pay thousands of dollars when ya can build it ya self. All the lights I got from eBay. The one's in the doors work great, they just a 10w led. The reverse one in the pic is crap but have plans to replace it.

Here you go hiluxy.
