    Hello Dan,

    With the 17 inch chassis extension are you going to be running tandem rear axles?

    Kind Regards

    Just single axle
    Patrools have 117" . So am looking at that look. But am willing to play around with the extension to suit the look im after..

    Well what a week. Had great Family news..
    Now the td5 is dying.
    Major blow bye and smoke under load..
    More pressure then my arb compresser.
    So. Im going to a very quick re ring.
    I know what I should do. But cant bring myself to spend the 5000.00 on a full rebuild.. on the bush car..
    I be happy to get another 20000 km out of her..
    So ute build will be going slow for a while..

    G'day Dan,

    Sorry to read about the Td5. Let us know when the ute conversion is back on track. I am looking forward to following your build.

    Kind Regards

    Can rebore them. Turners sell 20 thou rebuild kits.
    Probably prefer to find another one myself.
    Best of luck. Hope to see the Ute back on track soon
