[Cobez]

Nav's getting an Opposite Lock premium bullbar fitted tomorrow morning. Will get pics up tomorrow evening.

Bullbar on! Love it! From bog stock with a canopy two years ago i have done:

2" Ironman Lift (came up 60mm front and 70mm rear in the end) with 15mm spacers

ARB Beaver Bar on the rear

DVD player / touchscreen sat nav

33" Dick Cepek FCII's

Opposite Lock premium bar with foglights

Recovery points front

Upgraded turbo pipe with heatwrap

K&N air filter for onroad driving / paper for offroad

EGR blank plate

Provent catch can + drain tube

2.5" Redback turbo back exhaust with cat,

DPF delete and muffler delete

Plastidipped grille and side mirrors

Future mods: bottom cooler pipe, lightbar, plastidip sports bar, MCC rear jack bar and sump plate. That's about it really!

did your 06 have a DPF?
and don't plastidip your sports bar, i did mine and you can scratch it off with your finger nail!, and if you rub it, it just rolls off

I got my sports bar powder coated, much more durable and its not that expensive anyway.. I think it cost me $150 all up to get mine done in a gloss black, just another option instead of plasti dip

 

[Cobez]

Not sure if it had a DPF as i bought from original owner. Why does your Plastidip do that? Mines as tough as nails. Has copped branches scratching at it and everything and still perfect. I did about 7 coats though over a few days.

 

[Vigilante]

Looks great mate !

 

[Cobez]

Thanks bud! I reckon the bar makes the car. Planning a few overnighters up Dargo / Omeo way with the old man for the new year so hopefully the bar cops a few scratches and bumps.

Also looking into a V6 R200 front diff for it too. I reckon this front diff will pop soon enough

yeah, i have only 3 coats, and when the skin breaks it peels away as soon as you touch it

what brand of dump pipe did you get, as did you get a 3" ?

 

[Cobez]

Whack 4 or 5 more coats on it mate, its awesome flexible stuff when its layered on well. Just make sure you dont rush it. Do it over 2 days so it has time to set. Also, i roughened up the surface with 800 grit sandpaper so it had something to grip to (even though it says no prep necessary). Came up a pearler.

I got the 3" dump made by my exhaust bloke. Most good exhaust joints can do them. Costs sweet f/a.

 

[Cobez]

Just picked up a Turbosmart 30PSI boost gauge with fittings.

 

[Cobez]

And heres a pic of the Nav from the day i got it with the canopy and how it looks now. She's come a long way.

 

[4BYFOR]

Looks good bud!

 

[Cobez]

Thanks mate. Going up to Walhalla for NYE with the mrs for two nights then to Rubicon with me old man in early January for a few nights so will see what i break and can use as an excuse to upgrade (hopefully UCAS

 

[Cobez]

Boost gauge plumbed up working and mounted nice and tidy.

 

[Cobez]

Fire extinguisher mounted out of the way but in easy reach as i didnt want it up front beside my knee as i did in my last ute and it got annoying.

 

[Cobez]

Just ordered a Stebel air horn

 

[Cobez]

Cut and massaged the inner guards inwards a bit to cut out the minor scrubbing i had with my 33's. Nice and tidy now and no more scrubbing.

 

[XKyleX]

cool truck! if your in the market for more plastidip, autobarn sells it…

I'm thinking of doing my wheels in it when i pick up the car!

 

[Cobez]

Thanks mate! Yeah i think im done with the plasti dip for now. Sports bar ill get powdercoated and then ill just buy some 16x8 black steelies eventually.

 

[XKyleX]

yeah i wanna get the bull bar powder coated on mine, but I'm thinking a XROX bar so it would be wasted money!
