I am finding it near imposible to get anything that I need up hear,
at the moment Ive got no lift in it, the gaurds have just been cut.
It has 32 x 9.5 x 15 Simex Centerpieds
We removed all the sway bars to give it a lil more flex and extended the bump stops to try and stop the tyres from getting cut on the gaurds

Heres a couple of pics of some other trucks from yesterday
We had the only jeep there out of bout 25

The last blue vehicle in the pictures. Was that a old International Harvester Scout?
