LED light strips in stalled now I can see what I am cooking.

Havn't done much for a while now dew to knee surgery but starting to get a little done over the last week or so. Put in two gas cookers in the rear barn doors one each side all bolted in nice and easy for those stops on the run with to much effort. Will set up a led strip for some light at night.

Quick play up the hill

2'' suspension and guard chop = 35s or 2'' suspension and 2'' body will do it. I like the idea of diff gears to take the strain off the drive line. What motor you got ?
-
4.6 but with 38's need more down low I like to crawl might go a turbo for talk then some 85% reduction gears.
-
They just touch on the rear of the guard because I don't have any bump stops at the moment easy fix though ( didn't have time to fit them before I left )

The trip was so good I didn't want to come home, The next trip already in planning for June next year a bit closer to the wet so its not so dry and dusty. The trip was long enough three weeks in total.

Back from the Cape now and the truck was fantastic no drama's and good mileage on fuel 1000 km to 139 L with 338 thousand on the clock now she run's like new. Next on the list will be new locking hub's, new slave cylinder, gear selector ( having trouble getting into 5th ), 83% reduction gears, bead lock's for the 38's and a turbo. Here are some picture's from the Cape York trip.

You can catch up on all the sleep you have missed when your dead mate its time to get your truck up top speed. I am putting in the new radiator today.

about time you put up a post Sid
-
Yeah I just like it that little bit higher in the front

Cheers for the comment and I appreciate you being honest the black itself as the quality of the paint was shit house it came out all dry and cloudy so sid quickly put clear over it and it came out so much better very lucky to save it. Sid said the same thing about the snorkel I will do that when I get a chance. Its got 5'' coils in the front and 2" in the rear until I put the 4" in the rear, New coils and shocks to go in. The tyres are 34'' Interco Trexxis and now 17'' sunnys with kummo 35" to try to hide some of the side wall. New tyres

I am going to Cape York in August and hopefully get some deep water crossing I don't want any water damaging my fridge and other stuff that's not water proof. All the tray will be sealed in with a raised lid over the part were the fridge sits so its accessible. It will be red but all over with some black to break it up. Cheers for the comments.
-
little bit more done.
-
Little more done today. I will give that paint a day or so to dry then I ll put some more bracing around the top edge were it s painted white, The reason for the white paint is to keep temps down its all going to be all sealed in so I think the fridge will heat things up in there. Once that is done then I ll sheet it all in and start on the lid to get to the fridge.

Finished all the interior tonight and very happy with it. Now its time to get back into the body work.
