Just thought i'd post some pics of my GU that i'm transforming.
i've had a heap of mods done to it in the last couple of weeks and i'm stoked with how it's turned out.
So far -
285/75/16 Federal Couragia MTs,
3 inch lift Dobo springs & Lovells shocks & Ironman steering dampner,
Uniden Uhf & aerial,
Ironman Snorkel,
and the Vega 220 spotties are going on, on saturday.

Will prob have to look at a spare wheel carrier now that the 33's will be weighing the back door down, plus a roof cage to come.
Here's some before & after pics.

cheers
Dusty

Looks great!

I have a 33" on my door with a Kaymar stand-off bracket. A steel rear bar and spare carrier will add so much weight you'll be up for new springs, and the total cost will fall between $2000-3000.

Or, you can just get a new rear door if your current one sags or cracks... for maybe $200. I haven't actually seen a door that's been damaged by a 33" yet... worth thinking about.

Looking great Mate, she's coming along well.

I have a 35 (315/75/16) hanging off my back door, and it has been there a few years now with no dramas, made up a spacer bracket myself to fit it.
The door does creak and groan a bit now days when you open it, but there is no sign of any sagging or cracking at all (yet :D) I always wanted a rear bar and wheel carrier but it isn't too high on my list these days.

Cheers, Dan.

hey mate, heavy duty springs and the Lovells shocks are to suit a 3 inch lift.
cheers
