LOTS. custom springs, shocks, towers and mounts. front, rear and side bar work. Re mapped ECU custom intercooler. lockers, tyres, rims and lots more.
 
Where do you like going bush?

Anywhere that isn’t locked!
 
Any members off The Shed or 4WD Action Forum you usually go wheeling with?

A few.
 
Tell us about that first ‘oh bugger’ moment you have had off road:

Trans case popped into neutral down a very steep hill!
 
What's next for the truck?  

Winch and a 3 link front end.
 
Any mods made & since regretted & why?

Nope.
 
Have you done any extended trips in your fourbie, if so do you have any advice or experiences to share?

Victorian High Country is a must! And so is Fraser Island!

Advice, spend your time exploring every part of where you go and enjoy it, its beats being at work :)
