Well i've been a bit slow to post this thread but the black lux went in to Ultimate 4x4 the other week to get a few bit's striped off it and the new white lux went in for those bits and a lot more to get fitted.As soon as i get it back i'll post some pic's.

P.S Black luxy will be up 4 sale soon.

cant wait to see pics mate

Yeah it will be good to see how it turns out. I,ve told the guy's to take their time with it . I was told yesterday theres a bit of a delay with the bull bar and a five week wait for the canopy. The suspension is in and i'll try and get down to see its progress this week. They rekon they have gained some good height but the rear is sitting quite a bit higher than the front and the bull bar is yet to go on. I,m a little concerned with this but they have said once the drawers and canopy gets fitted it will bring it down. I,ve suggested that we should put some spacers in the front but their worried about the cv angles.

Ok so here's the starting list of goodies currently being fitted:

Uniden uhf
ARB dual batt system
Steinbaur power module
Safari Snorkel
ARB deluxe winch bar
Auto trans cooler
Full Dobinson suspension
ARB rear step tow bar
Custom strong arm wheel carrier
Custom jerry can holder
Work light on pole
Close range hella work lights
Lightforce XGT 240 Spotties
Taipan Exhaust
Wiring for the fridges in back seat and in tray
Front window tinting
Extended diff and gearbox breathers
Dual batt monitor fitted in cab
Insect lights in the canopy.

I have also got an ARB canopy with the 3 lift up windows with roof racks and blackwidow draws with fridge slide but theres a six week wait for those.
The only thing i didn't plan on doing due to the cost of all these goodies were tyres . I thought that i'd wear the stockies out and then replace them later but when i went to inspect the car yesterday it looks a bit stupid with the cheese cutters.

wow thats a list

How are the install coming along

got any info on the wheel carrier? Iv been looking for one but cant find any good ones.

Yeah it's all done ! well sort of, there's been a few hicups but got the car back last week and the wheel carrier's been ripped of and it's currently getting remade.

what about some pics of ther rig....

By now it should of been ready weeks ago! I thought i would post some pics when it was all done . Just been flat out with work and shit, i'll pull my finger out and post some pic's and even change my avatar! Took it off road last week and got lost as it happened found a track that had not been used for a long time and scratched the shit out of it ! missus was tripn out but at the end of the day we both thought f$@#&% it it's going to kop worse than this in the future as where planning a round oz trip or our regular trips up to Exmouth.

yeah the first scratch is always the worst but over time more and more gets added. Every scratch and dent tells a story
