cheers fellas,
im in eltham jake,unfortunately in melb was a bit of a joke,had a good browse through the site there is enough on here to fill a bloody library,picked up some good ideas,went to the arb today,there stuff looks good and has a good rep as far as i know,you blokes might know otherwise,getting deluxe arb bullbar,9000 warn winch,flared front gaurds,safari snorkel,tow bar,ipf 900 extreme lights one spotter one spread,all colour coded sterling silver,should get the suspension upgrade and lift kit and tyres,but was being tight,has been an expensive week,havent even picked my rig or driven it yet,cheese cutters look a bit weak,might drive it for a few weeks or so before i take the next step,thought i would look on here for some info on tyres/rims,suspension set up,dont want to blow all my dough or go crazy,im no extreme 4wd nut,just want to explore around the bush and not have to stress about getting bogged all the time and launch my boat in some tricky to launch rivers that have steep banks,

Looks like you already spent a good bit of dough :D :D Eltham isn't to far away from some great 4 wheelin mate..

ARB gear is tried and tested quality kit for bars, lights, winches etc but as far as suspension there is better!! (IMO)
Have a look at a couple of the forum sponsors Monster rides and Ultimate, they both have some very innovative suspension components for our trucks...
