I like it... We'll have to go wheeling one day!


Si
 






Keep changing that oil Corkey, get it to 500 k! (miles, that is) :)
 






Don't forget future white faced gauges. ;)
 






yeah, i won't, and i would like to thank Celly for finding me some white face guages ,
that i will be adding soon, both in the registry , and my dash ,
 


















not bad pete! 350kms! gotta love them OHV, don't think a SOHC would do that. did you get a set of sport track gauges? was also wanting to know if you still want the bumper done or not.
 






yes i got a set of sport trac guages,,check them out,

Pink decals .... :p:
 






just on the 1 side,
 






Hmm, a couple inch body lift & some 35" Claws coming soon!..lol

Congrats on moving up to the next level of wheeling Corkey! Now you get to wrench & wrench & wrench like the rest of us..lol
 






Yup, wrench and wrench.

Look at all the ground clearance in the t bar bracket area.
 






yeah, isn't that great,
 






there have been some changes to my rig lately, in the form of more lift, and some parts missing as they are no longer required,,

this was the back axle swap, complete, take out the old LS 373 diff, and in with the new 410 geared with aussie locker, and new shocks, trailmaster ssv , and superlift springs,

The truck looks nice.
 






Did you get the 33" spare to fit under? I noticed your spare mount tab still in place.

Do they have Undercarriage car wash's in Canada?:p:

No , i cut off the tab and tried, but a 33 won't go under, gets caught between the sway bar, and the back bumper .
we looked at Jons and it was different in the back than mine, oh well, may have to get a basket, or just clan out all my crap, and put the spare in the back,
