I have been wheelin my rig for a while now and thought its time to try and finish what i started so i got stuck in this weekend and it looks a lot better now.

Havent finished the centre section because i have to fill the 60ltr Jaz fuel cell from the centre which is proving to be a PITA so im going to build an alloy cell and fill it from the side. I will then cover it.

A 38/12.5 TSL will fit laying flat as long as i de-flate it which is no problem with an engine driven compressor. My 35s should fit without de-flating.

Even mounted some mud flaps

I hate Mudflaps but i need to try and limit any reasons for getting pulled over.

I doubt it will ever get to 98%

I still need to finish the front bar and lower screen cross brace and over the top of the guards. Also replace the RH front guard and LH door. Finish my half doors. And re-build my front springs. Then i will be happy for a little while

The mud flaps look crap :finger:

looks like you should of mounted those flaps a bit futher back, cos when you chuck it in reverse the swampers might roll em up onto the tire :?:

They are right on the corner of the tray now so i couldnt go back any more. I still need to add a chain to them to hold them back. They will be able to be rolled up out of the way when off road.

Yes they look like Crap. But im not taking too many chances with this on road.

That looks fantastic, I am soooo jealous, it is huge, plenty wide and looks like it would handle extreme conditions easely, it has heaps of lights, is full of shit and has a fridge, it even has a dumpster with an Aussie flag out front
I am talking about the shed, I need one so bad, the lux is cool too of course :lol:

I agree the flaps look like poo but they are a necesary evil.

I totally agree i just havn't got to redgistering mine yet!
I will also have mud flaps hanging down like this and will look crap to,As you said i also wont to give the boys in blue as little as possable to pick on.
P.S The rest of the tray looks good, makes me wonder wheather i should have used alloy checker plate for mine very shinny :cool:

This would have to be one of the toughest looking gen 2 Lux's ever. Great barwork. Shame u couldn't have made my tray Ruff, then I wouldn't still be dickying around with it.

I've spent many hours wondering how to make mudflaps look OK on my truck- thinking of bending up some solid plastic and maybe some chequerplate- soft rubber only seems to look worse with time.

However been driving around for about 3 months with nothing.

Does raise eyebrows.
