alright fitted my spot lights about 30mins ago...took a gay as pc after i parked it up on the lawn...looks like it has a huge nose or something anyways they are just NARVA ULTIMA 225's....can wait til it gets dark so i can go blind some pedestrians and on coming vehicles

also note that i painted the white bits behind the wings in the bar so it looks a bit cleaner

Looking good mate

looking good mate, looks neater with the white bits painted they are one tuff looking bar

Looks awesome dude will com up tops with the lift. I'm still making up my mind on whether I should black out those exposed bits too

definately should man...i was looking at the pics when i put them up when it was stil white and i was trying to work out why it looked incomplete, it was the white bits sticking out like beacons the standard wheel tyre combo didnt help

After seeing yours I cant wait... I hope mine arrives before or on Thursday this week as I've already got the day of to fit it and the winch and a ew other items for my trip away at Easter this year...

Looks Horn Dan...

3 inch lift fitted

here it is at work after driving it back from superior


and now with the 33's fitted










and parked up next to one of the escort luxs at work whos front guard to middle hub measurement was withing mm's of mine before it went to get lift





superior engineering are a pretty decent bunch for anyone looking for suspension...theyre rear shakles that are on mine are the heaviest ive seen on any 4wd...

the rims im running are king 16x8 with 20p offset
tyres are LT285/75r16 10ply
on full lock when u stall out the steering pump there is the most minor of scrub but thats all so far...im going to modify the upper bump stop like max did
as for body mount and the rear of the front guard, there is a good 8-10mm of clearance allround even with the heavy as shit truck driver jumping up and down on the bullbar

the edge of the tyre fits perrrrfectly flush with te edge of the flare too

im gonna be up for UCA's tho coz at full droop they hit on the spring

the 33's look huge...might have a look at what it will cost to get a second set of tyres in a 31'' and a decent offset 16x7

cheers
Dan

Looking the goods now.... awesome...

Well done mate, that looks tuff as now

ITS ALIIVEEEEE!!!!
