Hahaha this car has been the cause of plenty of trouble for me unfortunately! It's not even modified very heavily either, our laws are not kind to us :ROFLMAO:

G'day again everybody, A couple of you guys mentioned you wanted to see more of this thing, so I'm gonna do a brief rundown and then just dump a huge stack of photos in no particular order. It's been with me for a decade now and taken me well over 100,000 miles all over Australia. Vehicle is a...

Truck is just sitting beside the shed still, been trying to source some shocks so I can start building the rear but it's proving difficult. May do a temporary setup and pinch the 12" x 2.5" smooth body Kings out of another car of mine and do a basic under bed setup so I can go get it in the dirt...

Have just been exploring these options a little bit more and starting to seriously consider an OBS F150, what does your front ens setup consist of? That's a good looking Bronco mate! We didn't get any variants of the TTB explorers at all unfortunately, otherwise that would definitely have been...

Also might be interesting to note some prices of these trucks over here. These should give you an idea of what we pay. These prices are ballpark examples of the cheapest options I can find for sale that are in decent enough condition to be driven regularly. By no means the cleanest examples...

So fucken awesome! How do they drive with those setups and the stock steering?

It would be a consideration if I didn't already own a well established business over here! To be honest I thought the same for a long time, but the first gen raptors do seem to be a decent platform especially considering the hurdles I need to jump through over here in Aus. Yes in regards to...

Killer truck! How are you finding the Carbon shocks?

BUT our laws regarding roads and transit have been written by people with zero knowledge of anything automotive. Largely based on raising revenue and prioritise blanket bans and fines over road safety. SO knowing that conundrum, I think it might be interesting to get some input from you guys...

I'm so suprised you guys didn't! I feel like they would have been hugely popular considering the following behind the 80 series landcruisers over there. The Patrols are a very similar platform but the driveline is considerably stronger, 37's on stock diffs and axles are usually not a problem...

I haven't gotten around to writing up a thread on my Patrol yet but I have been smashing out a whole heap of rust repair on the F100. Also chucked a bit of rattle can on my garage built fenders. Stripped one of the Method 105 centres and gave it a polish too. I like the look on the white truck...

Storage rack is killer man, I love seeing this sort of thing on a build, you know shit is getting used properly when custom parts start getting a bit utilitarian!

I reckon the proportions will be spot on when it's outside and you can stand back a bit. Looks badass man!

Soooooo I want to get back into more exciting parts of the build but I decided to get my shit together and sort a couple of the jobs that I've been putting off. It was probably a good thing that I did so, because after pulling off the drip rails (that had been absolutely molested by the previous...

Just read through the whole thread, got me fkn stoked! Big dollar fancy stuff is cool but this is better. Got me motivated to finish my rusty old F100 and go do some exploring over here in Aus.
