    Stock does seem very high eh? Should be a bit more comfortable at least.

    well my folks are going away in 2 weeks
    my old man asked me if i could get the windows tinted on the ute for him before there back, but on the side..... with out my mum knowing
    he wanted darker then whats on the vs (35%)
    so looking possibly 20% mark or mirror tint

    he said i could also lower it it a bit, as he agrees its too hugh and nose dives when braking
    just not SSSL height
    ive got the option of free vt ss springs but im not sure if its worth the effort, just need to lose some guard gap
    prob a inch more then the fe2 so SL kingies might be nice

    well tint got done today
    35% on sides
    18% on rear

    much better now driving in dusk/night, no head light reflection on the back window and no seeing the road ahead as it reflects on the back window while looking through the rear view mirror

    just need to fix the height problem now

    NICE... love the 18% hey, looks good,

    This thing going to think it has airbags, lol, stock height, down in the sticks, back up to stock, back down - but not as far... haha

    Does look tidy though, little sticker back there too..

    well still hasnt been lowered yet
    havnt came across springs yet which are local and fair price

    today did a little mucking around
    picked up a second hand guard, new dash surrounds and a parker light stick holder

    put the guard on this morning,
    much better no dent on the front and bar fitts better
    still going to paint the bar though as its got two big chips
    while the bar was off, took the right hand headlight out and got the two parker globes that fell off in it

    fitted the dash surrounds and removed the mp3 cable for the cd player as it kept causing static when hitting bumps.


    just needs lowering now then thats it

    wow i miss the look of the ute lowered, think i might have to get on my old mans back about it

    not much happening in the world of this daily
    just the rims are on the vs and the ute has 15 alloys
    front bar, LH guard and LH rear bumper end was painted

    all sweet now, doesnt look like a 280k car now
    rims will be back on soon once ive had them on the vl for the dyno

    Nice, I think we need an update, with pics,

    Once the rims are back on after you use them for the VL, on the Dyno...


    Should've painted the bottoms of the bumpers, and the side skirts - (Although, if they get scratched being the dark grey, you probly wouldn't notice it as much??)
