New Ute owner saying g'day.

[Buzzbug]

Greetings all, just thought i would drop in and say hi, since i have been lurking in the back ground learning all i could prior to buying my ute.

Last week i ended up buying the 2002 VU II in QLD (had my bro check it out for me) then drove it back home to south coast NSW.

When i picked it up, it was totally stock standard. Within the week that i have owned it, i had blue slipped it, then lowered it with King Super Lows front and rear (with original shocks) and tinted the windows. I am a firm believer in keeping it simple, no body kits, fancy mags or amssive stereo.

How it looked the day i picked it up.



Today after lowering it and getting the windows done on the way home from the gong.




Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

Geez... 70,000km for a VX is pretty damn good! Nice pickup mate.

[Buzzbug]

Cheers Jesterarts,
I have been lurking around looking for a good ute for a fair while now
and once this one popped up on the scene, i grabbed it as soon as i could.

looks good mate,nice ute.

[WogBoyz]

looks good man, id just lower the rear a little more then it will sit perfect

[Buzzbug]

I'm pretty happy with the height at the rear as i do plan to through stuff in there from time to time.
Besides that i also have a toy sitting in the garage that i take out every now and then.


It is fine if i am the only one in the car, but if there is someone in there with me, then we hit every bump on the road.

Cheers mate,
The bug is a great cruiser and turns many heads when i take it out and thankfully the cops seem to leave me alone.
I have been toying with the idea of some VT Clubsport 18's,
but that will be a little further down the track if i decide to go with them.
But for the time being, the 17's on there now will have to do.

I can imagine it would, Yeah that would look pretty mint i reckon, but the 17's still look nice on it now. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for it? If you don't feel like saying i don't mind

nice buy champ, looks tidy.. good taste to i must say... i bought my VU about 6 weeks ago, stock except for the exhaust

can't stand how high mine sits at the back so i'm gonna do the king springs thing as well

hows the ride quality & did u get the camber kit for the rear?

[Buzzbug]

G'day mate,

good taste........bloody great taste!!!
The ride quality is great, it's no calais, but it is great for a commercial vehical.
Yes i got the camber kit for the rear, that set me back an extra $400 on top of the spring price.
I am prettty happy with the way that it is at the moment, though the hillbilly bar on the back might need to go in the near future.

Lee.

[Buzzbug]

Finally decided to get rid of the hillbilly bar and go for the cleaner look.
This will have to do untill i get the funds to put a hard cover on.

[demuck]

looks good man!

[Buzzbug]

Cheers Demuck,
It is coming along slowly.
I have some leather trim pieces on their way aswell as an SS front bar.
I am still in the market for some Black Leather Monaro seats to complete the picture.
