What sort of Paj have you got? Pictures???

[worzel]

Fitted new brake hoses so now they wont stretch when axle drops and change both diff oils

[J_Dub]

decided against bobtailing the lux, as in my opinion its alot a work for only some gain, and I want as much deck space as possible for camping and trips, so instead im doing a virtual lift by cutting 3" off the bottom of the tail gate and the rear side panels which brings all the panel work well above the chassis line, im then able to lift the rear bar almost 5" as with the body lift i hadnt adjusted the bar to suit, so a virtual lift of almost 5".
Already started cutting and its gona look good, keeping with the same lines

[red-devil]

started to cut the metal to lenght to hold the air tank under the VX.

bugger need to get some cut off discs.
an find a good pump

jono

[big yellow]

Replaced the right hand steering knuckle bearings on the lux, old ones were crushed to a pulp after meeting a large tree stump at speed, messy job

[Steve_t647]

Wired up the winch, added a couple of brackets to the bullbar for spotlights and spoke to a guy at Supercheap and got the spotlight wiring sorted (the high beam indicator didn't work).

Lift it higher to even it out and put some real sizes tyres on

[coxsy]

with a 75mm lift the 34'' simexs still rub,my wife is still able to climb in it so higher is out for now, rear springs will need to be changed as the back sits 20mm down compared to the front but that can wait till funds rebuild after tuff truck AU

[phraza]

Was a good weekend for me, testing out my new Wrangler MTR's.

Friday headed town to Maratoto/Wires Road, got almost the whole way around the loop, but couldnt make it up the last bog. Camped overnight, then headed down to Thompsons track Saturday. Was going to go up the Katikati side, but went in and was too rough for me! So we drove around to the other side, was sweet as a digger had been up there. But was still challenging in some places. Made it to the top no sweat. Mint view from the top! Very happy the way the mud tyres were.
Camped again Saturday night, then came back up to Auckland Sunday, drove past the National Trials at Thames but didnt go in, was packed as! Then went clay-bird shooting on Sunday and possum hunting Sunday night!

Will try get photos up soon

Choice weekend!

You do realise that made it worse. I hope you are talking about a tent fly.
