Nice Job Ian, looks a lot different to when I first saw it a couple o' years ago
There's always a Payback .... Ya just never ever see it Comin !!!!
Cheer's Jess, aye it's altered a bit, running out of stuff to do, i would like to do the full lift etc but would'nt get it in the garage which is the limiting factor
(alaong with the missis)

Love your truck Ian, wouldn't have done it any different myself.
So bl00dy jealous of those wheels!
One thing I've noticed you need to change though, the rear light clusters.
I've just changed mine for integral reverse light units and hooking them up to the centre lights so that I have four reversing lights.
You could fit a pnuematic lift to your garage roof, I'm sure I've got another five port valve somewhere.
Hehe! i already thought about raising the roof (perhaps i should get biohazard to come round and raise it for me) if it was'nt attached to next doors garage it would be possible

Well thanks Vince, appreciate that, yup i do need to change em, i've been thinking about the lexus type replacement but i seem to remember some were a bit dodgy, i'll have to have a search on that subject, i have hooked up the small spots on top to the rev lights so i've at least some rev lights working, wired em via a DTDP toggle so i can switch em off, switch em on or have em working on reverse,
speaking of wheels, where did ya get those? cause they look identical to mine only mine are black instead of red... have never actually seen any other vehicle with them, let alone a surf...
also, that square red thing that sticks out past ya rear bar, where ya would normaly have a towball... that looks like it sticks out heaps, does it get caught up much offroad??

Hi mate, i think the wheels are fairly rare over here, their crag country raceing gear made by "W" Works in japan, a bloke on here had some which were silver (and tatty! his description, not mine,) and i've seen a Paj round here with some red ones, their a nice wheel i think, i got these off ebay a while back, the rims needed a bit of a clean up and i was able to switch the rims round to give a deepdish look, the centers were in good condiction tho, i've been trying to find another one as a spare but no luck so far, hence the spoked mad blade spare i got on the back, red center so it dont look too out of place, (switched the rims on that to)
the red bit on the back is for a tow hitch, just aint got round to getting one yet, and have'nt done any offroading, but i guess it would "dig" in a bit, it's at it's extream fitting to clear the tube bumper but i'll still have to spacer the hitch (adjustable) to clear the tube
Got ya email regarding snorkels, all my surf pics are in the link below i'll email you the password,
i aint finished the snorkels yet, need tops and hose to air box, they were made from combi boiler inner flue, about 2 1/4" alloy tube, the n/s is tight on the aeriel but it goes, just alter the bracket at the bottom of the aeriel, ya need to remove the wing (s) and cut some of the doubleskinning away, (do a search on surfinstien's snorkel, thats where i got the idea from)
cheers ian
