They are made by Silverstone, called mt117 sport

bigredlimited88 10-13-2012 09:45 PM

Ahhhhhh so envious, wonder what it would take to get one here? It may be cheaper to do a swap, I'm sure...I just love diesel power

diesel and right hand drive!! I want it!!!

JerseyJeeper 11-18-2012 07:42 PM

Where did you happen to find the lights?

Great progress

Lowrange2 11-18-2012 08:11 PM

Looks good but I have three questions.

1. How do you access the fridge with it so high? Do you have to take it down each time? or is it not as high as it looks?

2. What are those strange looking flares in the last picture? Looks like flares on stock flares.

3. How bad does it scrub with 1 inch of up travel?

ldub100 11-18-2012 08:18 PM

I'll answer the first question, the fridge is on a slide so it will siide out for access.

ozcherokee 11-19-2012 03:28 AM

Lights r off eBay, yes the fridge has a slider, it locks and unlocks when you pull it out , here in Australia there is a law that states the tyres can't stick out from the guards, so in order to cover them I use plastic garden edging drilled into the factory flare to cover the excess tyre clearance

ozcherokee 11-28-2012 03:24 AM

just installed donator speedbox performance chip, well this has been one of the hardest modifications i have attempted myself, do to the location of the bosch ecu, but finally SUCCESS!!! wow what a difference, took it up a hill near my house on a sharp bend id normally do 40-50km , i went round that bad boy at 70! and egt's are only rising an extra 10-20c for $170 im stoked
