was trying to figure out how to get all the pics I uploaded here lol figured one way!
Fitting new wheel carrier this weekend from LRA!
Nice work, loving the mods.
There's a lot of work in there!
Could you tell me how the overhead console is for "intrusion" - i.e. does it interfere with head clearance etc or create any issues for visibility?
I have considered this for quite some time and would take the opportunity to remove my headliner at the same time and make something similar.
It looks good. I just wonder how big to make it.
Hey Merc
If your not use to it and put ya head in first when ya jump in - you can hit ya head on it lol
But other wise, once your seated its actually really good - the sides are angled inward so in the event of a crash - you aint hitting your head on it.
Its a console I bought... 12 odd years ago from this forum - but could never use it - threw it in the shed and when I bought this one, I pulled it out and it all fit perfect and colour wasn't bad either.
I tracked it to be from Department of the Interior Car Consoles & 4WD Storage Drawers overhead consoles roof consoles custom built consoles 4WD interiors storage systems vehicle consoles radio console dashboard pod four wheel drive but they haven't made one in over ten years. I bought a rivnut gun and put in 4 rivnuts in to the ribbing in the roof and bolted it up from there.
ran power and CB wires up to it. Works awesome If you want I can measure it out - Its made from pine and thin ply - covered with a soft foam and vinyl.
Didn't end up fitting the wheel carrier - coz I replaced the heater fan unit! Wow - big job lol mostly back together for driving and have a heater yay!
I'll fit up that carrier next weekend and do more work on the dash.
Bitsy McRangieface looks great!
Any issues with rubbing the 265/75 16s on standard rims with 2 inch lift? I want to get this size and i'm hoping I can get away without having to get the wheels flipped.
No body lift or fender cuts required? I'm not totally opposed to cutting, but the flares I bought mount under the lip so if i have to cut I cant use them.
Hey razzor - you're an inspiration!
I have had a new Alpine head unit in the cupboard for 2 years now but too scared to start pulling everything apart for fear nothing will go where I envisage. This could be an option. Can I ask:
(a) where you got the caddy for your head unit;
(b) what you put in the space left by the old one; and
(c) have yo installed an amp and if so where did you locate that?
Cheers
Matt
