Next week I will actually head of to Shannon's for inspection and to increase insurance value of the car. The engineering itself cost me below 3k so hardly less then the state of the vehicle ;-).

If you mean all parts and labour yes that may already be the case but who cares... I live only once and may as well enjoy it while I can...

I think most of us spend thousands of dollars on our cars which we will never get back in resale, but DO get back tenfold in enjoyment. Agree totally Steve.
Engineering is just one of those costs that the wise and sensible endure;)

I guess my basic point was that all this money was spent on getting the truck engineered for 33s and now you want to do all the same again for 35s - why not just do the engineering for 35s in the first place and same a bucket load.

yes you are 100% correct unfortunately at the time I did not know what I know now and wasn't even sure I get the 33" engineered.
It has been a steep learning curve and in hindsight I do thinks differently and would save some cost.

A wise man once said to me if you mod your vehicle to far then you run the risk of ending up with a vehicle that can easily go places where none of your mates can or will follow.

Yes hindsight is a wonderful thing. It is a credit to you that you have chosen to go the fully engineered path as most would not have bothered and would be happy to drive around with "illegal" mods. It has been a real learning experience following your progress on your 33" Thread.

Terry, you are fearless, forcing the D3 up mount walker.... I recon you will follow ;-)

Nope not with the mighty D3 ...but blowing your doors off with the old Mountain Goat D1 ... well that is a whole different story. ...;)

get her ready Terry ....

Greg organised some flairs from a Rubicon and we will try to make them fit over next two weeks or so... that should eliminate all issues of tyres protruding
