OK just got the "heads up" from Rangie Automotive that the 4.6 engine install is finished and drivable.
Bar mods are finished(rear bar lift was a mission apparently) just a few more things to go.
Will get pics posted up tomorrow:)

We are having trouble finding a replacement center console in time for this project(LRA are waiting for a batch)
Are there any alternative's?
Anyone got pics of a sweet replacement?(with cup holders maybe;))
Front ARB bar modded to fit winch,will be wired to new dual batteries in the next day or two.

Rear ARB bar added and modified/lifted to suit 2.5'body lift (wheel carrier will be fitted tomorrow)
note:checker-plate has not been bolted down so looks a little wonky in pic.Will get better pic when wheel carrier goes on

LRA Snorkel and a few other things go on tomorrow.
Its all coming together:BigThumb:
Kurmit thinks the whole project should be ready this time next week:cool:
Finally figured out how to post pics properly:MileStone:
Watching with interest ....:thumbsup:
That winch appears to be only grafted into the bar. Will it be strong enough like that?Quote:

Your making great progress with it now:cool:
I need to do a fair bit to catch up now:angel: May have to put twin snorkels and Rangie sport guard vents in to make mine a bit different
I think you will get a lot of satifaction with this thing of yours when done. Will look and go very well:D
Kurmit has assured me that the inside has been reinforced with thick plate metal and so on,and he has raced a rangie with a setup just like mine but with a much more powerful winch, so I'm sure it will be fine ;).Quote:

Rear swing away will be an LRA item from memory.

Adrian must be your new best friend with all that work. And yes those arb bars would be a right royal PITA to modify to suit the body lift.

Yeah I'm really happy with it,one of the few Ive seen to actually turn out looking how they are supposed to.Quote:

I must say i am extremely happy with the overall look of the rear bar/wheel carrier given the 2.5 inch body lift!
Should be all done Wednesday next week:)
