Here's mine,

It's nothing special so far just got a few things on her...
245/75R16 Maxxis Bighorns
2 inch suspension lift (soon to be re lifted as its sagged as all hell)
Uniden UHF with 1200mm aerial
Smart bar
Nightforce 140mm spotties
That is pretty much it, the engine is fairly new it has only done 30,000 km's (340,000 on the clock)
Next step is obviously the suspension then looking at getting some light force 240's and a TJM steel bar with a winch (as my bar atm is not winch compatible) after then exhaust then some lockers.. and the list goes on haha...:cool:

Well i haven't decided if im going to go the 2 inch lift yet, but i have a feeling the michelin stock tyres aren't going to cut itQuote:

(annoyingly i cant think of the brand of the mid range shocks i just said above but i'll get back to you on that). I'd just say you'd be best going and talking to someone in your local Opposite lock or arb or even local tyre shop about it cause they will have all the definites for you ;)
Cools, i'll have to do some asking around. One of my dad's mates runs ultimate suspension so i'll ask him.
Heres mine, a 1996 Tdi
