Still pretty much stock standard. Rhino rack is new (since I posted my last pic anyway). Custom ashtray iPod dock. New SLS bags, and Shamos old compressor. Some wheel nuts from Baffle. A couple of smelly dogs, and several kilos of dirt and sand. Hmm.. that's about the extent of my mods so far! :D
Nice mountain though. Mt Barney I think :p
Nice disco mate! The compressor running fine i trust?Quote:

It showed up some my disco's history too.. my old comp was in mint condition when i pulled it out. No dirt, no mud. Nothing! The previous owner didn't ever go off the tarmac by the looks! Could have wrapped it and boxed it as a new one!! :DQuote:

A note also to everyone who offered advice on getting around my air suspension problems. I bypassed compressor and bags have held up. I have ordered coil springs with 40mm lift to replace. Less than $400 for a pair from Roverparts.
The bodge-up job on the springs will get their full test on Sunday with a 400km trip from Gulf of Carpentaria back to Mataranka on a road that was destroyed by Cyclone Paul.
Thanks again all.

I dont see your vehicle for instance as unsafe... But the law may not like the modifications.:cool:
To answer the legality of the tubular bar in this application:
This fitment application would be classed as illegal...
No crush cans and not SRS certified.
Outrigger supports cut through the headlights projection.
How much the tubes block the light projected I cannot answer, but the fact it passes across the lens will make it illegal.
Could be easily fixed though :cool:
Personally, I like what you've done to the truck, and it suits your use well.
the SRS problem is a very difficult one to get around ,and there are plans in changing the bars going across the lights
and yes i have done everything which would be required to have it full road legal just can not seem to get it done in my state
so i do also class my D2 as been safe
