Got the brackets and bar from Bullseye. You gotta drill through the gutters mate. 3 bolts either side. But of a job. Roof lining has to come out

Currently running Patrol steelies which are +10 I believe. Only rubbing I get is on the swaybar at full lock.

Hey brad, I dunno what you are running in the way of suspension but take a look at MR swaybar relocators. Moved mine forward a little bit which stopped the scrubbing. I'm running +10 too.

The castor has been adjusted yeah. That moves the wheels away from the firewall so it doesn't hit that anymore. I think the sway bar rubbing has to do with rim offset but it's fine really. Just back off from full lock a touch and it's all good!

Cheers bud. It's quite satisfying seeing it on the car finally. It's been a long process! I think you built yours in a quarter of the time it's taken me!

Thanks matey. Fingers crossed I have done it the right way! This is the first thing I have built from steel and the whole point of it was to learn how to weld and pick up some basic fabrication skills. That being said I have saved a lot and I'm rapt to see it nearly done!

The time has come to put my Hilux up for sale. It has been awesome building it up but its time for a new direction. This forum has been a godsend for information. Thank you to everyone who contributes.
