Hi Fatboy,the truck has now done 1500 klm on the road and a little off road as the service truck for Madaz at the Taupo Round of the whinch challenge and is running fine. It has 2 brand new ARB diff locks and a set of 4.6 diffs in it now so it is starting to come to gether . I have just cut more out of the rear guard as there was a small but interesting issue off road with some 35" tyre clearence , the only thing left to do is to give it a new coat of paint so we can make it look pretty. The tyes are Simexes 35" x 11.50" on 10" wide bead locks .

Was just saying that it looked funny......not suggesting it did not haul ass!

Not many other v8's have the plenum twisted 90 degree's!

Fatboy here,Thanks to Madaz for some pictures, yes it does indeed haul arse, but i havr to admit it sure drinks some petrol sincr the 4.6 diffs have been put in,but it sure has some torque.
