Hello Dan,

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

Kind Regards
Lionel

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..

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 :)
