that's fucked, thanks for the pics wags.
the first pic looks like i'd be able to adjust the small left hand rock & squeeze through over the dead log/scrub.

i was thinking about that also, there is a slight drop there from the burnt out tree root
only other idea was to roll that rock down in the third pic, would make getting out a little more interesting
dry as a bone up there atm

said the guy with 35" tyres, i've got girly little wheels
there are plenty of small rocks around so a bit of track building could be done, will have to have a suss or even just go down the rocks where the creek crosses under the road.

whats the light output from them like though. i want something good for about a 100m spread

by atari4x4
this one is a combo that's spit into 3rds so it's got reasonable depth & a fair bit of spread

you could glue 1000 black dildo's to a Lada Niva & it still wouldn't be as gay as that thing.

i was considering putting a pair of brides in the patrol but a mate donated a pair of s14 seats instead. might get to fit them one weekend soon i hope. there pretty comfy
Posted: 01 Feb 2013, 21:45

that ute is full of jap goodness, tall skinny maxxis creepys from japland, origin wheels & a heap of other cool bits from the slopes.
i reckon those brides would be borderline too deep for a lifted 4wd, you'd end up sack tapping yourself every time you get in & out.
i ran one of my momo fixed backs for a while, it was nice once in there but fucked getting in & out.
the recaro's i have currently are perfect, just enough support but not too much.
Posted: 01 Feb 2013, 22:11

The recaroes look pretty similar to the s14 seats in the pic. I'll be getting them retrieved once there in so I may add a little extra bolstering etc when that's getting done

that's right, you've got a mate that's pretty deadly with a sowing machine.

yeah. i just gotta decide what color and material i want to go with. will either be vinal or leather. most likely grey but i may go with a mint green (outside will be grey with green wheels/barwork)

a nice gunmetal/charcoal grey with that minty green you painted the R32 wheels would look sharp as fark.
leather would be nice but probably not worth it on a 4wd & i reckon vinyl would be sweaty bawls material in summer. i've always wanted to do a canvas interior similar to swag material in a 4wd but in a grey colour, could do that with minty green inserts/stitching. would be hard wearing + breathable.

i've seen a dark coloured sierra with bright cyan blue coloured wheels & as gay as it sounds it looked sweet.
