I've lived in Mt Isa all my life, it can't be any worse weather than here. Hot everyday of the year. Only a little chilly winds in winter.

Yeah fk that lol

Tinted w/clear coat clear lens tail lights and tinted side indicators
OR
Tri-colour lens stock tail lights with clear lens indicators?

I have the stock tri-colour lights with clear indicators on at the moment, but what do you guys honestly prefer? Both tail light combos are ADR 49/00 and QLD Department of Transport approved.

Normally I'd say tinted stock but as ur utes is black, the dark tired clear would prob be good

Took some photos in the work car park today.

Looks ok with the stock tail lights and clear indicators.

nice work man.

Im also running the poly airbags in the rear of my ute with ultra lows. I was looking into the hurts short shifter but didnt want to take the risk with the unknown brand so went with the GM billet ripshifter. I did purchase the hurst chrome shifter tho. One of the best things ive done for sure. His work is amazing. Feels alot more solid when shifting then the standard bent shifter.

keep it up man, ute is looking sweet.

Update

It's only a Wednesday and already I'm over this week!

Not much happening at the moment, been at Rebuild Mobile Fleet Workshop for two weeks now. Sh*t arse of a roster, 5 on 2 off, 50-70hr weeks depending on work loads and call ins. Got my 3rd and 4th year TAFE block next week for 6-7 weeks. Loads more time to tinker and fine tune the ute! I'm excited! Have heaps of work planned!

Anyway, quick release hub adapter arrived today. 5 minute install time and looks the part too. Just awaiting my new MOMO deep dish steering wheel and Hurst T5 short shift kit (will maybe arrive by Friday).

Going to install the 3.45:1 gear set, LSD center and pinion bearing kit this weekend, really excited to see how it turns out.

Also installed the speedometer cog kit in the dash cluster, but now I have no speedo! Bummer! I have to check for continuity along the copper track of the cluster and the speedometer circuit board. My instinct being that a copper track has separated.

I'll keep you readers and viewers up to speed with photos soon, just don't have much time to myself lately.

'Till next time!

New steering wheel arrived today! Got it dirt, dirt cheap. Some of you may or may not like it, but whatever, the world still goes round and round just like a steering wheel.

Only part I'm waiting on now is the Hurst T5 short shift kit. But the ute is off the road from Saturday morning until further notice.

Lets have a look at that dash this weekend Ballbagz.

 

[K-BAGZ]

Well dash cluster was pulled out again today to help my mate Allan ^ complete his auto electrical instrument competency. The reason the speedometer wasn't working after the odometer cog replacement was that a copper track had been deleted on Connector 2. Number 10 - Pulse Ground being the culprit.

I'll attempt the repair tonight or tomorrow, only bummer is winding the odometer another 1,500kms forward to make it correct.

Axle repairs to be started tomorrow, so will hopefully be completed in the day.
