ok bit of a run down on the trucks
95 GQ ute. I bought the green ute pretty well how it was and didnt really change cos iwas happy with the setup it had a MASSIVE 2nd tank (290 litres!!) an 80 litre water tank and a 2 inch lift dunno wat sort was bloody rough but lol all i done to it was get the dog crate made up put the checker plate tray floor in cos the timber one was ugly, drilled a hole in the roof and whacked in the remote spotty and put on a set of 285 75 r16 bfg muddys on it the replaced them with a set of mtzs a couple of weeks later cos they looked better lol.
02 GU. Got this thing and didnt really change a thing on it except swapped the 35 inch kuhmos on it for a set of 33 mtzs cos the kuhmos were ****e and kept gettin punctures it has 4 inch flexy coils in it with 8 inch tough dog shocks and all superior gear under neath to make it work well (this truck has insane down travel). It initially had a custom tray/ canopy thing on it that i wasnt to keen on cos it was so heavy so swapped it with a tray off a 79 series and sprayed it glossy black. oh yer and the 3 inch dump with 3 inch zorst that pops out just behind cab
90 mav. This is my latest project my old man gave it to me for my 19th birthday a couple of months back. When he gave it to me it had a 2 inch tjm lift in it a brand new set of 33 inch mickey t atz's on alloy racing rims. but since then ive whacked a dobinson 6 inch kit under it a pair of lightforce 240s that were sitting round the house put a set of 35 inch claws on roh steelies. One arvy i trimmed up the side steps and mud flaps cos there was a little bit of rubbage cos its still just got the stocko control arms in the rear and the cut up the alloy bullbar to make it look like a winch bar

ive got big plans for the mav im gonna take it into a diesel mechanic i kno and get him to do a compression test and pump up the pistons to check if the motor will survive some big boost runnin through it and if not get him to rebuild itand whack in a big hairdryer and iter cooler . Then i wanna get some custom sliders made up for it and get some sort of winch bar ( i like the cheezy bar look) and a 4 inch snorkel. Then once thats done im gunna get a set of long travel shocks for her and some superior gear to get it all to flex well and maybe an A frame in the back. Then its gettin sent down to the mrs uncle and hes guonna chop it into a dual cab or extra cab for me havent decided yet and give it a respray job either kermit green with a glossy black bonnet with twin gu scoops or dark purple with glossy black bonnet with twin gu scoops ( got a mate that has the glossy black bonnet with the twin scoops thats why its goin on) and make up a custom tray. and then later on down the track im gonna put in some reduction gears and a front ARB locker as its already got a factory diff lock in the rear that works well so dont see a need to replace it.. Any help with any other mods or ideas is much appreciated.. cheers..
its just got a dobinson 6 inch flexy kit in it atm mate
