I don't care what anyone says the VS ute is the last sexy ute Holden ever made.

She looks clean and your list doesn't look too bad. Personally I'd dump the LED idea and add a 5L conversion but that's just me lol :p

Another thing to, as of late, Ute has no balls, everything just feels funny, got a squeek in my drivers side front wheel, like with every rev of the wheel, I don't know what's goin on but I got the feeling something's gonna happen soon mechanicly,

If someone could help me out, just some advice on what to look at,

Also fiddled around with different springs in the rear today, I have a few pairs of different kinds, so had a bit of a play, took off the ecotec badges on the side, an whilst my mirror is drying, I might give the taillights a quick lick of night shades, an give the, a clear coat too,
An one more thing, I asked about ' white ' lights for the number plate , gives me these Narva ones, I asked are they white an not yellow, yep yep mate trust me there white as !!

Righto ill chuck em in BAM

So many white utes!!

I'd start with checking the vacuum and throttle body hoses, clean the throttle body and IAC valve. Check condition of spark plug leads and plugs etc.

RH squeak? Probably just debris embedded in the brake pad. Either bed them in or remove and de glaze the pads.

Sweet FA was open in Mount Isa today!

Yeah do a service on it like K-BAGZ said, is the idle smooth still or lumpy?
I would suggest change the oil, check all vaccume lines are connected espically the thin black one under the throttle body, and give the throttle body a good spray with some throttle body cleaner, squeak I have no idea.

But The plans for this ute look great :D
