Drews Build. For Sale !!

[Drew]

Well well well lol after a week away at work i finaly have the lux back!!! woo hoo !!!
Lucky it wasnt my turn to drive and i didnt need it or i would have made them pay for a hire car... but alls well that ends well as they say.
I went in to pick it up and no discount... but... wait here we have something for you they said a nice box full of goodies, they finaly realised that after all the trouble i had been thru eith them i still went back and i was still nice, so after i gave them a bomb and let them know exactly how i felt and enough was enough they finaly decided to loook after me.
I got the compressor, tyre inflation kit and speedy seal kit which was apart of the deal bt they also thru in a snatch strap, recovery gear bag, 2 bow shackels, another speedy seal kit, tyre guage and a ezi tyre delfator and a few other little bits which including the commpressor is over $800 woth of free stuff so i was happy again and after many appologies all was good.







A quick try out on the beach on the weekend and i must say i am impressed, i cant wait to get out in some deep ruts and steep climbs and really give them a work out!!!!

[9W6VX]

Glad it all worked out for you!

[Quinny34]

Looks like they done a good job with the lines through... Mine is just bare air hose... may have to copy that idea and give them a bit more protection..

Great score on the kit... there a good setup and the bag is good value also..

[Alby]

They look like they have done a nice job Drew (finally) , mine is bare hose too.

I bought a couple of extra metres of air line and some joiners from ARB just in case I damaged the line out in the bush. Cheap insurance I reckon.

[Drew]

YEh i was supprised to see the conduit over the line, i didnt expect them to do it so it was good to see some one do a decent install, i even re installed the stienbauer as it wasnt neat enough for me lol I will still definatly get an air line repair kit for the tool roll though..

Thanks guys. Yeh they have finaly made me happy lol

[Boof]

Its coming along nicely, have you rewired the switches yet? I have found being able to select front or rear independantly to be advantageous. Its also easy to do I did mine after the first trip and getting a rear failure I couldnt use the front to get out of trouble. Although after we got up the hill we changed over the wiring on the solenoids so I could use the front. Just imo safer that if you rip off a rear air line on a steep track you dont lose the front also.

[Diegothecat]

Hey boof what do you mean by rewiring the switches?

I thought they were already independent.

[rodw]

Hey boof what do you mean by rewiring the switches?

I thought they were already independent.

The way ARB wire them in, the front locker won't work without the rear locked in..

[Diegothecat]

Really thats stupid

[KTM525EXC]

they do it cos the rear is stronger there for using it first and use the front only if nessasary. but in my case front is all i got so that theory goes out the window lmao
Troy

[Drew]

No not yet boof but it is definatly on the to do list.

[Drew]

Got the TJM FUG on this arvo.... was supprised i didnt have to modify it at all even with the 1in diff drop / rotate spacers which was a plesant supprise lol





I also got myself some ARB tie down points, going to copy diegothecat and mount my shovel and hilift on it as well as a better tie down for the fridge etc.
Oh and a brake adjustment tool to adjust the rear brakes... handbrake not working too well anymore

[Boof]

they do it cos the rear is stronger there for using it first and use the front only if nessasary. but in my case front is all i got so that theory goes out the window lmao
Troy

They do it because they have to idiot proof them Just be aware that if you ever fit a rear they will swap the lines over and you will be back to standard.

Drew the truck is coming along nicely

[Drew]

Thanks Boof. Yeh it sat as it was for a while and now another spirt lol I got the uni strut rails in on the weekend but then had to go to work..... when i get home next week il mount the shovel and hilift up.
And i hope the tjm tug is in sometime this week so the mrs can pick it up ready for me to fit on sunday...

Running out of time it will be a big sunday fitting the last few things i have in the shed for the truck and i spose i had better give it a good wash lol AS IT IS BEING SHOT FOR 4WD ACTION MAGAZINE on tuesday !!!!!
