Unless he's from Toongabbie in VIC.

Either way BBM will post stuff anywhere real quick. Great service.

Locktup4x4 is also worth a look.

When I bought my SWB it had 2" raised springs and the brake hoses were too tight to be comfortable when fully flexed. I would move the mount on the chassis outward and down if you can or fit longer hoses.

Now you need to fit gears and some 30-31" tyres.
Then a locker...
Then...
Then...
