tough ute man
gotta love the vs utes
yeah im not sure yet. Its either i spend the money on this ute or i buy a black Vu ute when i save a bit.
If i was to do anything it would be paint bumpers, complete new audio, hard cover and get lower springs in the back because it sits too high on the back.
looks good
Nice ute, can you put up some more pics?
Still moving!
0 - 100kph - 9.1 seconds (V6)
New photos:
I had a load of firewood and it lowered my car heaps but also made it a smother ride :S...
Used a Whiteboard marker to colour in my Holden badge to see what it looks like as black:

Nice ute mate keep the pics coming
clean ute man.. gotta love heavy loads in the back![]()
its amzing how much better and cleaner it looks with colour coded bumprs n that. looks very nice mate and yer go for some lowerd springs for sure.
wheels look nice to
Thanks peeps, yeah in the future ill def get a slim hard lid... I didn't think anyone would notice the door mirrors but ill see about them.... :P
I think the front springs are fair low atm the wheels sit in the arch perfectly but the back springs are as high as a hung moose can get.
Yes these wheels are my fav well vy sigs come close but these are good for my ute
Oh and today i went into "Motowork" and had a look at some slim subs to fit in the cabin. I fell in love with this pioneer SLIM301S4 that pumped and owned all subs in the store... I got a quote and that sub with an amp plus installation= $728
Im not sure about this price so you guys got any subs in ur Utes? How much should i be paying? this would help muchly.
oh and i just thought that I'd add a pic of the sub:

i have that exact sub cept i made my own box. Its very good i recomend it
were did you get that vs ute badge from?
very clean lookgin ute mate
hey just a refresh on my ute, picked up a canopy for a couple of hund from ebay but dw its not going to stay on ALL the time just for camping and shit.
Holden Sandman wana be
Also got some rubber liner from Clark Rubber
now i need an exhaust kit badly!
what should i get?
might get me some of that liner for mine to, toolbox goes flying when i hit the break (embraces the impact) for an exhaust mate i got a 2 1/2 Exhaust Catback single muffler on mine, with Lukey extractors has a nice tone to it, hardly drones, and its a 6 like yours too.
how much for the rubber lining from mate?
and with the exhuast, i got mine from ebay, its called scotts rods. has a nice note to it even with the stock headers![]()
Rubber lining cost 200 from Clark rubber..
That Scott rods exhaust is a very good price i might get one
as said before it really is amazing how much the colour coded bumpers neaten up your ute.
love the vy ss rim's, any vs seems to be able to pull them off.
great ute mate, can't wait to see progress.
