I like the Nullarbor sign, "no tree plain" pretty much sums it up.
Great road trip and awesome photos too.
Looking forward to hear some more stories over a few WT.

Two bags of cement on each inner guard and I think it'll be perfect for cruising up Queen Street.

Looks good.

14s Rodomo. They are a slightly lower profile.

The stockies are nearly smooth,DJ.

Thats the main reason they went on.

I finally got my finger out of my arse and lowered it yesterday.

Pulled the leaf packs apart and flipped a spring,then bolted it back together on the rear,chopped a coil off some lowered v8 springs I had lying about for the front.

Stuck some Prem hubcaps on it for a change too.

Rears too low. Should match the front IMO. But, it's the goon, so I still love it anyway.

Well,its always a bit of a lottery when you start cutting random coils off unknown springs.

I got it close.

Ill yank them again tomorrow and fire up the Makita. :)
