the front looks heaps low. Wasnt to hard then to do the fronts? Did you just undo the single nut on top? And shouldnt your tailgate have two straps or did they both snap?

yer the front is like realy low know haha, cant even get a coke can under the extracters anymore :/ and about the straps there was only one and it was already broken but the guy who had it before had like bolted it back together kinda of things, dammm should of listen to me old man when he said get new straps instead of other things hah


honestly this is the first car ive ever worked on and my dad aint to flash with mechanics either, we followd the how to in the how to sections and first one took around 2 hours of mucking around then the second one to me bymyslef about 30 mins. just make sure u have the right tools for the job and youl be right mate.

sitting very nice now mate, she is really coming along.
is that bike in the back of your ute an 85? because if its any bigger i am amazed on how you get a full size bike in straight with the tailgate closed.
i need to put my 250 in corner to corner to get the tailgate closed.
