Pirelli Scorpion AT's 31x10.5x15 on Sunraysia 15x7's.

Search around, there may be someone with a bit of know how who can make you up a rear bar. I refuse to spend $3000 on an ARB one when i can get one made locally for just over half the price.

Yes the locally made one might not be as deluxe as ...

I would just slowly save up all the money for your suspension gear and then get it all at once. Rather than buying it bit by bit and slowly needing to replace it all at different stages. Do it all in one go then it is all running at the same height and how it was intended. Otherwise you may be in ...

You don't need to change the torsion bars to wind them up but from what i understand if you wind it up without replacing it with a beefier one, like a rockcrawler or something it will make for a shitty ride and handling. Same as if you add extra weight to the front and don't replace it.

My 05 Courier is the same, and it doesn't have any airbags either so nothing to worry about there.

Don't get colour tint, it looks shit and mirror tint is illegal in most states. I have tint on mine, 20% on the driver and passenger window and 5% (limo tint) on the rest. Darkest legal for the front ...

$800 (fitted) for a roof console i would consider a bit rich and the floor consoles i just looked at are about $400-$500.

The price for the floor console isn't too bad but still shopping around. Got any suggestions?
