Interesting start to your build. What are your future plans re winch, dual batteries and skid plates?

Great updates and cold progress!

Kurt, I did have some help from the Australia resident 100 IFS LandCruiser guru Mr. McRae of Auto-Craft. Found out about his work round about way via the Slee website as one of their only authorised international dealers right here in Australia. On the 2002 HDJ100R there was a change to the...

Thanks Redline. It's been a fun build.

Very clean install!

Very very nice final design!

Let there be light! The final modification instalment for the next 6 to 12 months is better lighting. I was considering my options for quite some time between the new ARB Intensity lights or some tried and trusted LightForce HID. Primarily due to availability at the time of the install, plus...

Unfortunately I don't have too many photos of the installation process but out with the old in with the new: Can you spot the issue here: This shot should give a better perspective. That was the slop in the steering rack bushing bolt on the passenger side. So both bushings were...

Next up was to fix some steering issues. One of the issues caused by more power and torque in an all wheel drive vehicle is that it will quickly expose any lingering issues. I first noticed some abnormal wear on the passenger front tire as well as quite a bit of torque steer during hard...

The final stages of the build Well we've had a busy year this year. We managed to sneak in a trip to Birdsville QLD for a large gathering of 4WD enthusiasts, all readers of Australian 4WD Action for the magazine's 200th issue and 15 years in business. For those in the know, Roothy was there...

I believe that the trend is continuing. Truth is, I walked in to the ARB store cash in hand to buy a set but there was a 2 to 3 month wait just as they were being released in Australia in the early part of this year. The sales person told me that when they come in, they just can't keep them on...

The good thing about their choice of vehicle is that it's a HZJ80 in DX trim (barn doors). This means a 1HZ mechanically injected diesel with power nothing (no power seats, doors, mirrors or locks). The only thing he needs its to make sure water does not get into the fuel system, up the...

Stay warm!

I pondered these for quite some time. Nice lights.

The vehicles are looking Arctic ready. Good work on the VDJ78. Do I see a move to "Adventure red" for the future vehicles post E7? That may be sacrilege!

Sweet truck! Lots of them kicking around Oz now that they have been available for a few years.

Liking the heated seats mod. Great work.

Different shape, size, texture, material, colour and might even put a nice red led on it just in case. That's one bottle you don't want to confuse. Then again, it would not kill you and make for a great side story...:sombrero:

Been a long time Tilley wearer. I've also purchased an Akubra Cattleman in Sand colour. Been wearing it almost every day since purchase. Very nice hat. My only feedback is: when driving the large of a brim at the rear puts you head in too forward a position relative to the head rest (don't...

This rig is looking better every time I see an update. I like how you add with time after you spend a bit of time to know the vehicle more! One of the major selling points for the ARB is it's airbag compatible as well as compliance to the Australian Design Rules for vehicles. Similar to DOT...
