Good day in the shop today, mostly all fabbed up. time to weld and slot in some lights down below. overall happy with how it looks.

Nice progress

Is there anything to stop the swing arm from swinging all the way around and hitting the rear side panel?

Dpeending on how the ground is either the rubber will hit the light, causing zero damage, or I have welded on lock pins and drilled holes that stop it short or hitting anything

Big day today, bumper is one. roof top tent is mounted. looking sharp. need to do the electrics still and have a new tyre coming tomorrow to match the bf.







I use factory studs and nuts for the spares so if I break anything I always have spares.





And the house mounted up:

Neat work crusin!

Got any close up pics of the bar now that it’s finished, namely the corners and how the guard flare trimming ended up?

Next up - a full length set of scrub bars with incorporated rock sliders/sill protection?

Awesome looking setup!

Cheers

Thanks mate!


I’ll get some photos once it’s tidied up a bit better.
The bar work is complete as I don’t want to ad any more weight. I’m actually looking into getting the ally underbody protection from bushskinz and selling my steel bushskinz.

Got tough dog rear shocks on the way. Should be a Sunday job.

[cruisn06]

New shocks on, ran with the tough dog 41mm foam cells as I liked them on my old rig. seem alright around town.



A photo of the rear setup, bags, shocks, and Aux fual tank setup.


And complete:

Continuing on with the build, due to adding dual spares the rear door looked terrible. so I have to fix that

Looks terrible, holes, and pressings:


Chop chop time:

[cruisn06]

Due to added weight I have had to upgrade my rear springs. basically I set the wagon up as a weekend warrior so it was never meant to hold this weight. So I got a set of efs 50mm lift 500kg constant springs to install



Also with the chip I have had my bypass open a few times so got a blocker:


And finally, a little more fuel storage:

[cruisn06]

Well the pressure is on to finish the rig. its got an adventure planned.

I started with upgrading the rear suspension.


I got some EFS coils which were a bust as per photo:


So I went by to my tried and true Dobinsons, these are 250kg constant load for a lwb or a fully prepped shorty.
Thats heaps better:





Engine is getting some work done, new alternator, resealing the intake and making a new egr block, I also have a catch can and water seperator to install still.



And the wiring never ends, hooking up the LED light bar, the winch is getting hard wired into a switch for easier use, and I have hooked up the dual battery system link kit. more photos when its all cleaned up

The work continues. suspension is in and looking great, along with the jerry can holder.
I can now carry about 160L which covers me for 1000kms regardless of terrain. or 1500 of highway at 95-100ish.

Also the electrical, new stereo installed, the ebay unit was killing the battery so now I have cleaned all that shit wiring up and installed a kenwood deck.
