Hey guys, it's been a while since I've shown my pretty face around here...used to be on here way back when it was all a big secret...now everyone knows about this site! Cheers Rick!
The more the merrier, I say.
Anyway, here's an entry from the most isolated capital city in the world - Perth, Western Australia. The body lift has been sitting on my shelf for 6 years, maybe longer before I decided to get off my ass and install it. Thanks to the info on this forum, it took 8 hours by myself in my mechanic's tool filled garage, pretty much trouble free (touch wood - yes, I'm grabbing my crotch).
Still got the 4.56 regear and Tru-trac to go in, but otherwise, it's a 6 year project that finally sees the light of day!
The day after I installed the lift I managed to roll my ankle playing bball and having taken my running boards off many years ago, it's been a bit of an obstacle getting in and out these last few days.

And the wipers are facing the other way too... That's living! And the antenna is sweet! I've been trying to replace mine, but can't find anything... Did you add the antenna?
