Gday all
I thought Id put up some pics of my rig.
This thread will progress slowly as things get done.
When I bought it, it was very tidy, ran well and it was looked after. However, it had 2wd rims and tyres on it and the torsion bars had been wound down so far it was sitting on the bump stops. First thing I did was whack on some 245/75/16 BF All Terrains, wind up the torsion bars then drive it. It was ok to drive, handled well on road (although very stiff), but was heavy in the steering and heavy on fuel. But it was very reliable.
Wasnt long until my fat arse broke through the bench seat and I was sitting on the floor everywhere I went. So I threw down some towels, and looked hard for a wrecked D22. Looked for a while but couldnt find anything closeby. I ended up ripping out the bench and put in some seats from a donor car. Holden Berlina VN model. I bought it for the V6 and auto, and also the gas system. Turned out pretty well, very comfortable seats and in excellent condition too.
Not long after that, the front shocks died. Absolutely destroyed the rubbers in the lower eyelet. Whacked on some Tough Dog big bore jobbies. Ride improved a fair bit.
Last week I was at the local Bob Jane getting some tubes for work. Saw a set of Maxxis Bighorn there in a 33x12.5x15. I just had to have them, so $1000 and a coupla tyres later, I have five new tyres. This is how it sits now.
