How did they fit up? I looked at those but they seemed to lack the fitment lugs where the clips fit that lock onto the pillar ridge.Quote:

Correct, no fitment lugs. Before buying I spoke with the guy who makes them and he told me they have changed the design slightly and the lugs are not needed. He said they use double sided tape instead.Quote:

Took it out to julimar forest just out of Perth. My first ever run.
Completely stock, including tyres, managed some stuff that surprised me, and the others I was with. Highlight getting up a hill first go that a newish hilux with 33's and 4 inch lift had 2 runs at :D
The down side?
Bent the tube behind the bottom of the bumper.
Belt is squeeling - hoping just a belt - almost got home on the highway, wet the belt and it stops.
The car developed a pretty bad miss on the highway just before I got home. can definitely feel it accelerating off the line, very jerky.
I took the headlining shell to an auto trimmers to get the head-liner material replaced. It should be ready on Monday.

pulled the transfer case & then the auto,
Auto going in for a rebuild...
Save some $$ on removal & refitting, not to bad a job,
but both are very heavy even separated, top starter nut a PIA, so was the 2 top bellhousing bolts as had been overtightened with air tools
when the Torque converter got put in at the shop a while back.
Rounded the drivers side 1 & panic set in, How the **** was I going to get that undone without pulling the motor.
Well you can laugh but I talked to God,said a prayer
which lead me to an old air tool set that had a 6 sided socket instead of the 12, belted it onto the bolt with a hammer, held my mouth right with a breaker bar & heard that magic cracking sound...
Got me beat, the head on that bolt was almost round when i looked at it out of the bell housing...
Anyway, it's out.
:angel:
New flexplate & rear main ordered, might put in a new CAS while Im at it.
Got new output bearings & seals for the TC, although they are not leaking.
I nearly went & bought a Hilux,
Woops, sorry for swearing on here.
Fitted a rear door ladder.
Makes climbing up onto the roof rack so much more dignified than the previous option of onto the bumper then a large step up onto the top of the spare wheel and a scrabble over the rear awning to the roof.
Drove it into town this morning... and drove it home again. :D
