Ladies and gentleman, Meet Boris, the newest addition to my fleet, Picked up for his towing abilities and whatnot, and also the his inherent bush bashing fun that awaits once fixed.

 

Mods:

Snorkel

Steel bullbar,

lots of spotties,

Factory centre diff lock, ARB front and rear air lockers,

BIG 285/75 R16 mud tyres (also acquired a set of 275/70 r16 daily highway terrains)

2inches of suspension lift front and rear,

2 inches of body lift

2.5 inch performance exhaust (sounds very tough)

 

 

The to do list:

-broken front left CV

-snapped tail shaft

-new transfer case

-clean ridiculous amounts of mud from under on and inside the car (DONE!)

-Get the car to start and run by removing the immobiliser (DONE)

Tidy up wiring, get all the guages etc working again (half done need ash the auto sparkie lol)

-service, fluids change

-Rego the sucker

 

what do you guys think? :)

yeah lol a fair bit has to be done, but i basically got the car for free lol, just had to do work on the other car my mate owns, a whole new front end in his commodore ute. probably would have cost him a lot more at a mechanics lol.

 

anyone know a good, cheap 4x4 wrecker in bris?

got quoted 180 bucks to get it done at driveline services brendan...

 

current plans are probably fix it, sell it and put the money elsewhere atm.

 

saw the remnants of a rolled patrol the other day, one of the occupants was under a corner of the car which was perched upside down on top of him. not so nice.

 

sort of sucked the life out of any desire i had to drive this thing. see how i go once its fixed but i think itll be fix and sell. don't like the idea of putting my life or my girlfriend at risk.
