The top rims are the allied steel beadlocks. I looked at the Savannah's and really liked them but at the time I got my current rims I had just sold the steel beadlocks ( not happy with them ) so I was steering away from them I may get them in the future though.

Cheers SA_on_patrol for that App bought it tonight handy thing to have

I figured that now ive got the new laptop there is no excuses for not putting up a few pics of the rig Its a 2008 ST wagon that I bought new in May of 08 and have spent the last 4 years adding and modifing it.

Hows it going guys Just ordered the black widow drawers for the GU wagon but forgot to ask about the child restraints. Just wondering if anybody has the setup and could tell me how the restraints are fitted. Cheers Russ

I ordered the black widow drawers and cargo barrier today just got to wait now until they come in so I can install them I think I will have to remount the compressor to so I don't have to cut the wing panel.

Fitted two more 12v power outlets to the rear of the centre console to run the 12v oven and power the kids electronic gear

How's it going mate Just put in a donation for the logo one less thing for you to worry about now it's up to what it was set at Great work on the site love it and can't wait to see it grow

a few to add to the list

I have posted these pics in another thread but seeing as jacket has pics in this thread thought I'd add a few of the shorty here to keep them in one place. Feel free to use them as you wish

Yeah got bored one weekend a decided to knock it up

And finally a pic of the two patrols together

Here are a few more pics from the Vic high country

How's it going guys Thought I'd chuck up some pics of the shorty and share her story I was very lucky that I found her picked her up for $3200 pretty much stock and running the sd33t engine with the 5 speed bolted to it there was a few bits of spot rust so I cleaned them up pretty quickly. The first mod was to cut off the alloy scrub bars and then I replaced the tyres with some 33/12.5r15 max is bighorns. I then replaced the spot ties with some if HIRs and threw in a 2" body lift. I also added a snorkel, duel batts, compressor, UHF and replaced the windows with 1 piece flexiglass.

Saw this and figured I'd just throw up some pics of mine if you would like to use them feel free if not no probs

Haha it's all good mate , to right about being spoilt, I love it

When I talk about poser bars I refer to the people that come in to work and have them installed. out of the ones I've fitted, 1 has gone on a patrol and one on an 80 series cruiser the rest have gone on things like BT 50s and Ford Rangers and whilst these models of vehicles can certainly hold their own you can tell just by speaking to the owners that they will never go off road. We sent one customer off because we needed to get an offset hawse fair lead, we didn't wire it up so he wouldn't be tempted to use it. When he was told his reply was no matter it will never get used I just want it to look tough. His reasoning behind the bar was so he could hang spots off every point he could. Unfortunately being in the 4wd game we see 100 dreamers to every 20 wannabes and then there will be 2 or 3 guys who actually come in and set their car up for their style of driving. You would laugh your arse off if you saw the guys who come in keen as mud and want everything until you give them the price, they normally leave pretty quietly. So wasn't having a dig just my opinion

With everyone wanting to have a niche club to be in I figured I would start the V8 club I'll take #1 Look forward to hearing what direction people have gone ie: petrol/diesel, induction etc Russ

Completely agree with you I would never put one on my car for the exact same reasons I see them more of a poser bar than a functional bar. I'm just surprised at the amount of people out there that think they arent compliant (customers).

I think you will find that the xrox bar is compliant with ADRs and airbags infact they come labelled as such. Well all the one I have installed have. Cheers Russ

How's it going guys Decided to come across from the other forum just I case things continue to go pear shaped. I am from the eastern suburbs and have a 08 GU wagon. Am currently waiting on delivery of the new motor so the V8 conversion can begin. Have had the pleasure of 4wding in most of the iconic locations around Australia. I do a fair bit of wheeling down south. Hope to catch you out on the tracks
