Thats great! Looks very cool. Yes, so much easier to get in and out of, you don't need a step ladder to check anything in the engine bay either!
Funny, in OZ, the most usual mod is a 2 inch LIFT!!! I think the thought of lowering one out here would send shock waves out! Mmmm, might lower YOLO after my big trip then!  YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

Ha ha, yeah most people around here either keep them standard or lift them but as mine spends most (if not all) of its life on the road and with 4 kids a dog and a short wife it makes more sense for me
 there are a few (even some on here) people starting to lower them, with trusted names like alive supplying kits.

Yes, companies like Urban Truck seem to offer a 2 inch lowering as part of most of their upgrades. I must say, it looks very cool and for road use would be a LOT easier! Nice one!

Is that all!
More suitcases filled with LR bits for me to take back to OZ soon! Emirates offers a very good standard 30kg weight per suitcase as well! I get 40kg as a frequent flyer!!!

Come with what you are wearing - buy what you need to wear from primark and give it to a charity shop when you leave ? Then the whole 40kg can be car parts 😊

Took my radiator muff off today for the first time in about 3 years so had to paint the grill santorrini black to match the headlight surrounds I did a couple of years ago.

A few more stainless bolts went on today and the newly painted vent flap with new stainless pins just need to do the other side in the next couple of days. Can't decide between Nas rear step or tinted front row windows from landyglass next, but not sure if the rear step fits with the older version of nakatanenga wheel carrier so might have to get the new one before the step

Slowly the tidy up continues. Removed and treated some rust bubbles on one capping yesterday and today and the paint just baking nicely in the sun at the moment. Forgot to take a photo before but you can just see it on the right hand capping in this old photo.
Click image to enlarge Sanded the rust back to good metal then hydrate 80 on the pitted bits and left overnight Click image to enlarge Sanded back again and a bit of stopper Click image to enlarge Sanded stopper back primed painted and lacquered and now baking in the sun Click image to enlarge In a couple of days when it's fully hardened I'll flat it back a little and give it a buff but it's not too bad as is Ray
