TUFF 75 series utes

[maddog_75]

also see it on plenty of the cruiser pics...

where do people buy those big black front fender flares?

since they're so big do people cut away the guard and fit them?

i ask because my factory flares sit much lower compared to the black ones which seem a lot higher and look like they make the wheel arch larger.

cheers

I beg to differ. I propose that this one is right up there too.

Although i'm sure that Rob (owner of the yellow one) is gonna give me some stick next time i see him

Yes but that one doesn't have a shiny orange paint job or a proper rear sway bar

just wondering about this pic...



how come the front shocks are missing???

hahaha wel cut a long story short we jumped it about 1200mm off the ground by mistake snapped the front diff and stuffed the front shock got it back home fixed it up took it out just to make sure the 4wheel drive worked but haddent got a new shock yet

[maddog_75]

haha, ACCIDENTALLY ay?

thought it might of been some little trick to make it more flexy offroad as i've seen it done before on some other cars.

in terms of the spring over conversion, i know its illegal to do, but can it be legalised with a certificate? cost?

i've had a look and it seems like a fairly easy process (take current suspension out, weld spring perches on, fit leafs on, fit hi-steer, extended brake lines) but if it means i get a yellow sticker i might just leave it spring under.

check toms (zoltan) sprung over cruiser, i dontthink it can be passed, get it engineered but might be diff story trying to get it to pass the pits

in qld its not legal but in nsw it can be done and all of wat u said is wat was done but also changed the shackels from the front to the back and welded a 8mm plate to the diff to take the steering damper and doin that also made it flex more

[maddog_75]

[Mosko111]

Some photos of my cruiser with the new quick paintjob and competing at the 2010 Opposite Lock Mackay Offroad Challenge

The bes t photo ive ever had taken of the old girl

[sprungupcruiser]

It worked really well at the comp mate, I reckon you could chop a fair bit of chassis and tray off mate, would look cool. Do you drive that thing every day?

[BFCK97]

damn u mosko that almost looks like mine except my grey is slightly different.
yours looks awesome though

Thanks Maddog. The pipe was supplied by a sponsor and lots of hours in the shed with the mates to fab it up yes it can be made legal and its only an external.

[Mosko111]

Was going to shorten the tray but my raptor only just fits on it as it is haha, and nah i dont use it as a daily driver any more, well not since 3 or 4 months ago when the bloody thing wouldnt start haha, now she will be a trailer queen and for trips over the island

ideas on a good colour for 75 series ???

bright yellow ?? orange
gun metal grey silver pearl
any others

[NQCalais]

How about Black???

This is one of the local guys that comes into work occasionally. Was a black 88 model 75 Series with a warm but tired 3F, crappy bullbar and a Patrol bonnet scoop....

Now it has an LS1 with 255KW out of a wrecked HSV Senator, modified 100 Series bullbar, custom dash & steering wheel and the shiniest tool boxes I've ever seen. Mickey Thompson Classic Lock II's and twin pipes finish it off well. Goes like a shower of the proverbial.

One of our apprentices jumped in the passenger seat for a lap of the block and reckons that in 2nd gear, it just steps out of line everytime the throttle gets mashed.

Crappy phone pics ahoy.....

Love that black Cruiser

[Wambat]

i am looking for colours to paint mine too, am thinking about the new commodore dark green, looks pretty nice, only thing is, i am not far off building a front bar for it, and will require to paint that, but i want it to match the green, (ie different colour but work well) and have no idea what that colour could be...

[pinkfloyddsotm]

that ls1 cruiser just needs some 80's diffs under it , cant believe how narrow the 75 diffs are.

[NQCalais]

With the guy who owns it, I'd be waiting to see if the engine lasts long enough to trouble the diffs.....

Personally, I think once the guards on the tray are finished off it might look a bit better.

[Mosko111]

Wambat, I rekon black barwork would be the way to go mate, i realise everyone does it, but it will make the green stand out so much more!

here's my cruiser decided to paint it on the weekend .

[NQCalais]

Mate, that looks great - I love those little black highlights on the door handles and the window frames. What's the main colour? It looks like one of the old 60 series colours.

[Z()LTAN]

Heres mine as of last weekend
