cheers mate, and I was wondering why i got pulled up on the way home, look at my badass number plate

Rangimotors and i having some fun

hey at least you made an attempt for a number plate, see cars that dont have any cruising around every now and again, as for stolen plates...

what power plants are you guys running in your hiluxs?? how high is the lifts to fit what looks like 35's??

im running a 6m turning 36's and nick (comilux) is running the 3.8 commy turning 33's at the mo.
mines about as low as i can keep it to clear the tyres, about a 2-3 inch spring lift and 2 inch in the body nore in the deck yet but after seeing bulletproofs plan of chopping the gaurds out for deck space ill be doing the same. I have the wide axle in the rear and the front one has been moved forward. The rear one sits about 20mm further forward that it should but that just kinda happened and i havent changed it yet. I still need to chuck the ifs bits on the front to widen it as well. And of course i need to do highsteer and my bar work. Thats the plan before cert anyway how ever the cops didnt really like that plan..

was a great area for hunting until they started the 1080 drops, last year when we went there was not one bird this year they are just starting to come back but funny enough we saw the ranger who was just getting ready for the next drop. Bastards!

If you put some wheels on it back then you might have been able to drive it

lol... they're on I swear! I think after that trip I immediately went up a wheel size. The trip leader made the comment that you'll only generally make it through on 35's - I was on 31's.
