No, no they wouldn't Rik (lick, lick, lick) they look real nice on the lux (lick, lick, lick) I bet they'll look real good at sheffield, and my low centre of gravity would help to prevent roll-overs....(not that you would roll-over, being such a good driver and all......)

He'll need bigger tow hooks now, cos when he gets stuck, he'll be really stuck and need a sea king to get him out...

I think you may need to trim those guards a little Rik and they so look photoshoped with no mud or dirt on them, look a lot better than in the horse float.
How did you lift them or did you lift and lower the truck? and did you get the spare under the tray

looks good :green with envy icon goes here:

took less than 5 minutes to figure out how to get the roof off my new beastie .. also took the time to fit a set of muddies and a nicer rims, the 30's have made a huge improvement on gas milage too dropping the revs almost a grand @ 100kph prob did it
rear springs come off tomorrow to be reset and get a 50mm extra curve so I can wind the front bars up so the 30's arnt rubbing on the plastic guards at full lock!

spent several hours water blasting the last 4-5 trips worth of terawhiti, rallywoods and aotea mud off the truck so it can go into the WoF man
might need a grader on the front lawn to get rid of all the crap now

Had my truck die on me during the week
Spoke to a friend who said that he and one of his workers had this problem about a week apart
In both cases bleeding the pump and injectors fixed the problem.
So I took the opportunity to switch my filter mount for one with a working priming pump. Then bleed the system and away it went.
Tomorrow arvo I have to tighten up a leaking oil return from the turbo and get the hand break working again.
All boring stuff but it needs to be done
