take a look at my pictures on the last page ,I have a cooler there for the transmission .thanks mate but I actually will use my single horn instead of the xr twin one

Great effort gunner. The wheels really support the 'sleeper' look.

Can you reduce the 1 tonne carrying capability by using a lower rated tyre, then have the registration papers changed to that rating( I had a 1.5t trailer registered as a 1t because Tyres didn't match the axle rating??).

Nearly there Mate.

na mate ,it can not be done .have phoned main roads (modification approvals ) and they said no .also a passenger tyre to comply will have to be rated to 106 load rating or 1.1 % more than a light truck tyre (light truck tyre only has to be 102 load rating ) I can never get the ute down graded to xr specks .very disappointing but I have to stick to light truck tyres , if I want any insurance at all .on friday I changed my insurance to Shannon's and it is cheeper than youi ,only $481 for full comp and the ute is insured for $17000 . I can get it evaluated by them if I want to do that once I got it running .

getting there slowly ,but I got the front bar fitted -strengthened the battery mounting supports -wired up the autometer gauges -fitted a on and of switch for the oil cooler fan - fixed the bonnet cable slop -painted all the visible parts behind the grill -shortened the cold side piping so that they join better . today I will modify the air box so that I can remove the air filter more easily . and might even change the spark plugs to new ones .have changed the coil packs already .will post more pictures soon

doing a great job gunna now add a profile pic FFS............lol.

[genuine honest person]

still got to fit the tray (have to assemble it first )when I get the rest of the parts back from the powdercoaters . this is the colour of the tray

now

just looks like a standard ba ute with a xr 6 bonnet ( ps the ute has not been washed for about 5 month it is covered in dust and finger marks )

have changed the diff oil today .its a true track locker with 3.7 or 3.9 danna gears .the limslip 140 that I drained was that thick it took one hour to drain ,this stuff was like $60 for the 2.5 litre .is this stuff ok to use in a locker ? it was a lot thinner in viscosity ,but I was unable to find any limslip 140 for two weekends going to different shops .so I decided to use the full synthetic penrite .

ended up having to cut a lot out of the front bar ,fitted some black rubber to the bar to hide the inter cooling pipe

made the anchoring point stronger ,fitted 3 mm plates and some electrical clamps as well as the 6mm hardened bols going threw the battery box into the steel chase . added the plastick clip just for a little insurance so the battery does not fall out if the two wing nuts come loose .I know it would not help much at all

Looking good mate, id say its one, if not the best BA ive seen. Just cause it looks brand new and its like 10yo. Lots of little details that make the difference. its just mint!
