Camp road I think it was called. it runs of the main track going in to the camping areas. it is the one that is set up with all the crab holes. The reason I got so much air is because my suspension is as stiff as a board at the moment. plan to fix it eventually.

Yep
I got one too
mine hasn't seen any action yet ...not with a camera handy anyway
but they twist up real good, even with the relatively stock suspension I have, it has been impressive
Has everyone left the front stabiliser on or ditched it?

I ditch one bolt on one side when offroad and it does make a difference - I do this so i can re-attach it when back on the road to go to work etc :)

I have not got the front sway bar on my rig at all. It doesnt affect on road handling at all. My suspension is very stiff at the moment though.

All Mods in Sig Line are done already... Needing to put anti inversion shackles on rear, and I might remove some leaves from the spring packs too.

Rims are not done yet, I was looking into 60 Series Diffs first but not sure now - still deciding...

But the Toyota Quad Cam V8 and 100 series gearbox is also on the cards too.

Lets have a Middy day - And get mine back on the road... :twisted: :roll: ;) :oops:

White truck is mates, he is thinking of lopping off the roof.

Laser cut through work sounds good.

They are $35 each, plus bushes... Not too bad I think, i will just get some of them, but keeping that in mind for longer ones though.

Might mate Rookie is going out tomorrow morning in his to Parry, if it doesn't rain and I get my CV done, I will be going in mine too.

If anyone else wants to come for a quick spin - morning of course.

10am - At the Woolies Servo on Johnson Rd...
