Sounds good mate....What tyres have you got on yours know that you sold the 35's and hows the diff?

Did i miss much after i left on saturday was some pretty awesome rigs there would have liked to have seen that hilux with those huge tyres go up the flex ramp...

[Bazza_rips]

looks a lot like down vicy point/cleveland way to me :D

[THE RIG]

im just waiting on a cheque then im getting bighorns,umm you didnt miss too much after you left mate,just more pootrols,zooks and a jeep. i didnt even get to see that hilux with huge tread but the boys said it made the top of the ramp

[NATHAN_91_HILUX]

ahh yes, so doesnt do any damage to the caliper, coz my front rism on my muddys hit harcore.... i wanna get new rims but if i can do that i might just do it till i get my bigger tires..

[mac1cruz]

Due to another family member due in July the ute is just too small for four people and like all you guys we enjoy our 4wding so we need to get a wagon/dualcab.

So i had to sell my toy that i have owned for the last 5yrs so its a sad day for me :cry: .It had become part of the family and i had finally got it how i wanted it.But its gorn to a fellow forum member that will look after it and put his own personal touches/mods.

These are sum of the last pics i have...

[THE RIG]

So what's next Azza, a Nissan or a Jeep?

[Celt's]

Sad to see it go mate, but a great reason for the sale. Congrats on the new bub to be & the new rig will be tops if your 75 is anything to go by.:thumb:

[mac1cruz]

Not sure just yet Kelvin cant find a decent Diesel Gq and Jeeps are to expensive and besides i dont need anything to extreme as it will mostly be a tourer but i have been looking at Landrover Defenders 110.

Cheers celtlux i have learnt a few things from building up that cruiser as it was stock as a rock just a crappy bullbar.So depending on what i buy and how much cash i have left over will decide on what mods i will get. But what ever i do get it will be a tourer/family car.

[CruiserStu]

That was a sweet 75 mate im sure your sorry to see it go. I noticed in one of you pic's that you had buckets in it, just wondering what they where out of and if you still had plenty of room in there.

Cheers Stu

Thanx mate i do miss it. There was a after market bucket seat on the drivers side not sure on the brand but it was very comfy, but it still had the standard one and a half seat on the passenger side.
Was going to get a bucket seat for the passenger but then bub come along so i left it so i could fit a baby seat.

[GQMac]

cant find a decent Diesel Gq

I know of one for sale. It's has 2inch lift, 31s bighorns and front ARB locker with only 149000k. Nice unit too. Let me know if you're interested Azza.

Gday mate I hadn't noticed much of a difference besides ride height and from what I could tell the power was still the same.

Sorry to take so long to get back to ya mate Ive been away this week.
Azza

[pinkfloyddsotm]
