B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Posted April 22, 2015 Still wet in this pic, matt black rust kill paint. It'll do for now. And this isnt right, its not right at all! Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Posted April 24, 2015 Parts for RWC ended up being about $630 delivered from the states. OEM handbrake cables, aftermarket rear tie rod arms, brass bush gear links and shifter mounts (not RWC needed but were cheap enough). Wish the AUD was a bit stronger but hey shit happens. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Posted April 25, 2015 Yay, another thing broke. Accelerator cable is binding. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Posted April 25, 2015 Managed to get a new accelerator cable too. That was fun to fit in my bro in laws garage with pretty much no tools. There's pretty much nothing else I need to fix now, right? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Lost the foggies and threw the front bar on. Had to take 60mm out of the middle and trim a few bits. Kinda like the black look but it definitely looked better when the matt black was wet so I think I'll give it a nice gloss coat. Really want some more aggressive wheels, flares and the gurney wing now. Exhaust noise it the manifold gasket, very tractor like at the moment. Anyone know where to get a metal ring gasket or something decent thats not hundreds of dollars? Or should I just bite the bullet and get one from Toyota? EDIT: Nevermind, SQ Enginerring has good ones and only $25 Edited April 28, 2015 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
ke70dave Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Mmmm not really a fan of that lip. And yeah I liked the fog lights too. Metal ring gasket? You mean the ceramic ones that go between the cast iron peices of exhast? Repco had them in stock last time I needed one. Just take in old one to get right size.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Posted May 1, 2015 Say what you want about the lip but it just carved the best bow wave through flood waters so I could get home. Carpet is a bit wet. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Posted May 3, 2015 Thought the exhaust gasket was blown already but turns out by dodgy job of plugging the EGR hole on the exhaust was the noise. Put a bolt through it and no more issues. Also widened the front tint strip a bit so its lower than factory, way better than using a sticker and looks the same with the benefit of being able to see through it. Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Posted May 3, 2015 Not a fan of widebody kits. Much prefer bolt on flares. Quote
