Very nice mate, another vs ute to add to the huge numbers on here.
Did you put the monster tacho in your ute yourself? Doesn't your dash have a rev face?
How did you go about cutting off the tonneau hooks? I'm so keen on doing mine...

Hey mate no i didn't do the tacho myself the previous owner put it in because he changed the dash to one without a rev face for unknown reasons to me, i guess he liked the look of it and it does look kinda kool.
The tonneau hooks were easy as, pulled em off and cut with the angle grinder
All up took me just over 2 hours only cause it took me ages to try and get the bolts out so i gave up trying to keep em and drilled them out.

Hey mate, just wondering if you ever get hassled with the monster tacho.
I'm keen on installing one but they seem like something a cop would pick on.

Na mate havent been picked up on it yet, but then again i have a clean record with the cops, but i don't think they can really do much about it even if i did get pulled up cause i have no tacho on my dash (previous owner changed the dash face)

Update
well today whilst sitting at home i decided i would figure out the best way to jack up my car for when i redo the trailing arms on the weekend, once i got the car up and had seen that the springs just dropped out i thought why not take the chance to chuck in my superlows see what they look like. so here it is, it won't be like this forever the springs come out untill i get my adjustable panhard rod because at the moment its way off to one side but it does look good, also it's riding about 2mm off the bump stops lol.
