MY BEAST - D22 STR 2.5TDi

[b.k.2008]

Hey guys today i bought a set of BF Goodrich All terrain T/A KO in 265/70/16 for $295 a corner, getting them fitted next Saturday, i think i got a great price. Also thinking of getting a set of black ranger wheels there offset is 30pos. there like a sunraysia rim. i think it would look good with them, i open ideas of other rim/alloys

$295 is indeed a great price, I made about 15 calls to tyre places to get mine for $300 a corner. Your nav is really looking good. Are you still running stock springs and bars with the new shocks. If you are is the combo good. The 4wd and suspension shops tell me I need there fully matched set ups ha ha . Ben

hey Ben, Thank you I've spent a lot of money & time on it, yeah mate i'm still still running the factory leaf springs & torsion bars as at the time i didn't have the money to do the complete setup, so far it's worked well as i don't do any hardcore off-road only some beach work, i was sick of the Quality of the factory shockers. it has improved the quality of the ride by at least 40%

hey guys today I picked up my ROH Trak2 black sunraysia rims 16x7 they set me back $350 for the set which I think is pretty good, On Saturday they will be fitted to the Nav.

Hay bud what offset are those rims I was chasing them in a pos 20 but told they only come in a 0 offset for a d22 if they are zero they would stick out a bit yer ?

hey mate the rims are a pos30 the orginal rims are a pos40 not sure how much a 0 offset would stick out. the tyre place said to me that a pos 20 would stick out just past the flares so i went the pos30

I'm going to order my 2" lift kit tomorrow from Raw4x4 apparently with the research I've done they use EFS leafs. can't wait to get it

 

[b.k.2008]

Okay the 2" liftkit is ordered, should be here some time this week. Can't wait

Yesterday i found a roof top tent on gumtree, went & had look at it, it was nearly brand new only had a tear in one of the skirts it's minor. So i bought it. got a quote about a week ago to put roof racks on my canopy for a roof top tent, they wanted around $800 to do it which i think its a bit expensive so I've decided to make my own roof racks & internal support frame next weekend. should be very strong as i'll be using 20mm square tuning for the internal frame & 40mmx20mm tubing for the roof racks.

today i got some custom stickers from the intercooler scoop from the sunday markets. He printed them on white vinyl & they both were right hand so he had to redo them for me

hey guys just a quick update today i started making the internal supports in the canopy for the roof racks, it took a while to figure out all the angles & to cut it all correctly. the base plate i made out of 150x32x5mm. the square tube that attached to the base plate is 200x30x30mm & the c frame is made out of 25mmx25mm square tube. tomorrow i'll finish welding it all & give them a coat of paint. the roof racks i'll make of 30mmx30mm square tube. should look good when it's finished.
