But apparently fine to have a little overhang.Cause its on the cheaper side I'll guesstimate 210mm....so 35mm overhang each side wont be so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a pair of axle stands for the 4 times a year that I change my wheels lolThey are 200mm wide, though you will need something to chock behind the tyre to stop it rolling backwards. I'm going back to autObarn tomorrow to look at the plastic items that fitted in the slots of the ramp.They were $17 and I thought that was a bit pricy for plastic chocks.But if they look like they will be more functional than a piece of timber, Ill buy them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen them on ebay for around $90 delivered - each. Screw that. No doubt Ford would be the same/more. Borrowed the bars off a mate's uncle's ute and made up a couple in staino. Only thought afterwards of the wrecker option but done now. Plus making stuff = win Edited 02/01/16 11:22 AM by camo86T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Mike New Member 21 Member For: 9y 6m 5d Gender: Male Posted 02/01/16 12:46 PM Share Posted 02/01/16 12:46 PM Towed a boat!Also celebrated the new year with my rear tyres traveling faster than my front tyres for a short period On a private road of courseHow'd you go towing the boat? Is your FG auto or manual?Only reason I ask is that my father in law has given me a boat similar size and I am debating weather to put a towball on my FG ute or get a cheap 4wd to tow it.What did I do to my car today( or over the last 2 weeks)?Painted and fitted a XR8 bonnetFitted some 6.5" Hertz speakers to front doors and covered the door in DynamatDiscovered rear speakers have been swapped for some JL Audio 2ways. Pulled them out and put a heap of Dynamat behind there.Fitted a slim line 12" Kicker sub and ampChucked on a SS Inductions BigMouth CAI.Painted the middle bottom section of the front bar black.Next up is paint the wheels black, apart from the sh*t offset on the FG ute I really like the look of the stock Snowflake rims. Still undecided on lowering or not, I hate seeing the big gap in the wheel guards but on the other hand I bought the ute to get dirtbike about and low utes on bumpy gravel roads suck.
