Looks like some Scarbobro roads
@Joe23

 

Interesting one

 

I should have taken a picture when it was laying on the ground, the tire looked like it had a dent in it. I have never seen a tire look like that before.

 

Did it not puncture?

 

Nope, I did not want to spam here with my pictures so I just posted the 1 pic with link to the little story in my build


But ill spam a bit


Love my Coopers

Before I aired up and found it, I ran on a dirt road at 60 ~ 70 km/h.

 

Isn't Bonfield the place where cousins are allowed to marry?

There was a $2 million lotto winner there about 25 years ago, who blew it all within a year or so on pick up trucks, sleds, toys, and parties for him and his buds.

I hear banjos... I'd stay away from there.

 

I am not sure anyone who plays the lottery, will do anything brilliant with the winnings if by chance it happens. It wont because you have more chance of being hit by lighting while being attacked by a shark than winning any lottery.

Yes many hicks, I dont stop. I just drive through

Airing down is as close as they can get to me

 

Can i build something like this? Stay tuned to find out. Ive already cut my bumper apart, full commitment now. Cbi wants 700us. Cad is 900 plus shipping amd customs. No thanks

 

That looks sweet!

 

Mine wont look as “sweet” but close i hope.
Trying to keep it under 40lbs. No winch mount in mine either. Not yet anyway

 

You can simplify the design a little. No need for the complicated contouring in the front. Make sure it's properly tied to the frame for pulling, though. On Tacos, it's popular to rely on the 6 studs that hold the stock aluminum crash bar; those studs aren't designed for pulling.

 

My plans exactly, still needs enough contouring to make it look right and somewhat professional and not built in some 10x10 garage haha.

Yup already got my mounts made up and weld on shackle tabs ordered. They’ll go through the plate steal and be double welded on eaxh side then be tied in to there own mount where the stock hooks are.

 

I am attempting to tease my new friend (omg I found one!) enough with the youtube video's @Ttaco15 and my wife took from our early season trip. To get him to go, so I can get all my stuff from @Norilsk.

He has a heep with Aussie lockers front and rear, works pretty damn good. He has never wheeled Ardbeg and he has the sparkle in his eye when I bug him

He is unsure right now, he said ask him again next week and it should be more clear if we can make it

 

Yep, need to pass you all those parts! You are probably itching already to install them



Prepped wires yesterday for my rock lights and push switch. Blank switch didn't want to come out with prying tools... well, fuck you!


After that I realized that I can't fish the wires like I've done on 2nd gen, because everything is covered in plastic under dash now... well fuck you too!




Wonder what this plug does?

 

Yea I want that hidden hitch receiver big times

You have sliding rear window? What package does your truck NOT have?

I chose to not remove the center console at the shifter when I was doing any wiring, its like a 2hour job to get that shit removed in the 2nd gen.

Holy crap I just noticed the 3rd gen 4x4 shifter is backwards of the 2nd gen.

 

Nope, I don't have sliding mirror
No bed lights like double cabs have either
No BSM, which is good, less to fix if I wreck the bumper lol

Other than that, I got all features!


It used to take me 30 seconds to take centre console on 2nd gen.
I had to pull it so many times for many reasons... 2x 10mm in the console, pull the shifter cover (grey) up, then 4x Phillips screws and slowly pull the plastic. Try it!

 

Hmm I may have to try it then, from what I saw in other posts it was a long process. Maybe they had to many beer breaks.

So it could be the plug for any of those, sliding rear window, bed lights, or BSM. My truck has the wiring for the heated mirrors, just have to buy them and install them, put the switch.

 

3rd gens have knee airbags, right? Additional explosives to work around
