Oldmate

Good set up for touring mate. Like it.

I am on the gold coast mate. But there is plenty of motley members all over SE Qld. Mainly in the brisbane area though. As far as building another bar, I would certainly offer some help and guidance. When I move and have a larger workshop I would think about a re design and build some more. Just don't have the space at the moment. The rear door table is an easy one. Measured the trim on the back door and had stainless cut for me. For the top made it almost the same size, have to allow for the pinch mould when the door closes. Had it cut with a 7mm fold all the way around. Stuck 7mm ply under it with some marine carpet stuck to it. Hinge is a stainless piano hinge. Got some SS leader wire for the stays. Of you want to do it let me know and I can give you a hand etc. A pic of it folded up. Might throw this up in the DIY section. Where abouts you live mate?

Impressive list of stuff on the truck mate. Love the Ute's

A pic of the bar when it was all finished and fitted. has got a flogging since and has held up well. other mods include fridge slide, led lighting at rear with custom switchbox. Fold down table on back door and catch can fitted. Still plenty more to do. Sliders will be next on the list

Thank mate! Heaps of pics wheeling. here ya go

Are yeah the show holiday is one Qld has over nsw

Ha Ha ha.. i thought the same,................. till october comes and they have one and we don't

So after the lift not much happened till I decided we had to get the spare off the back door, due to it cracking it. So now game a rear bar. The start of it.

Nice looking truck mate.

Nice looking truck mate. How do you ind the xrox for strength etc?

First thing done a few weeks after getting it was new 285 Micky t MTZ to replace the old worn out Bfg at After driving it for about 6mths I upgraded the manual isolator to an auto type and set up a plug in the rear for a fridge. Another few months past and it was time for a front locker. So after much consideration an e locker was ordered and fitted. About 2 months after this we decided to throw a 3" lift in. It is ride pro springs with tough dog 45mm adjustable shocks, at the same time I scored a rhino rack very very cheap. So got legs and bars new and fitted it up. With the lift in Will post some more up later. Thanks for reading. Olly.

Hi guys. May as well start a thread for my car as I never did one on the other forum at all. So this is it when we got it mid 09. Had sagged 2" tjm lift , snorkel and dual batteries on a manual isolator.

G'day guys, "Oldmate here, you may know me from such forum as, nah not going to say lol." thought I would say g'day before anything else. Will start up a thread in members build/card to tell you more about the car. hope this place takes off also.
