(click on pics to enlarge)

Future mods I'd like to do are:

either a 4" IFS lift or an extra 2"body lift
33/12.5 x 15 MTR's on black sunraysias
some sort of front and rear lockers (probably detroit)
changing the diff ratios from 4.1 to 1 to 4.56 to 1
at a later stage again, some sort of engine swap, the V^ bloody drinks!

P.S. If anyone is interested in the bar work on me rig, bull bar, bash plate, side-rails and steps and reap step, contact me and make a reasonable offer, around the 700-800 mark. (cost me a mint to get)

Max.

How much did u pay for your roll bar mate

[TUFF IFS LUX]

rollbar was about 900bux from TJM when I bought the rig!

[TUFF IFS LUX]

I got the tonneau cover custom made to suit the rollbar. If ya interested maybe we can work something out as Im considering getting a canopy in the near future for more storage space.

let us know eh?

[D3lux]

Would the roll bar fit a 99 dual cab lux

[TUFF IFS LUX]

It will fit 98 to 2004 models. as they share the exact same tub and the only differences in the body with the update was the slightly longer and curved grill on the front the rest physically is the same.

im in melbourne by the way if it makes a difference or helps.

max.

gday maxi you crazy rooster!
When we goin high country?
I might start planning a 3 night trip to wonnangatta around oct - nov

[TUFF IFS LUX]

hey sava,

yeah sounds good. Just give me as much notice as you can when you got a definite date, not the night before via your brother......not really adequate time to prepare if you know what I mean.
take care.
