Thread: Chops, The Permagrin

Thanks for that Marcus - looking good. That bar in black does look really good. I'm still trying to decide whether to stay black or go colour coded on mine.. hmm

Thanks guys,, yeh, I reckon the black looks really good too,, but, when the black sliders and wheels go on, I reckon she'll look even better.

I don't know about the "black on grey" for the Disco. Personally I think it would look great in black,, I know it helped set off my Defender, but being a DC ute, it's hardly a comparison.

I think colour coding bumpers etc looks "sharp but sophisticated" so to speak,,, black looks tougher, meaner, menacing almost. I think, or at least I'm hoping mine will look kind of menacingly elegant

Oh your all a bunch of special softies relying on a bloody camera
Do you guy`s remember how to use mirrors or how to look over your shoulder I guess not

Yes, all this colour coordination!

I have grey Compomotives on already and black GOE sliders on the way. Re the bar, ARB colour coded vs black OL below. hmm

What camera ????

There aren't any cameras in mine, and even if there was, I seriously doubt that the position of the spare wheel would have any impact at all on the camera view.

It is the view through the main rear view mirror that is partially blocked by having the spare wheel mounted on the back of the vehicle - the closer to the "centre" of the vehicle the wheel is positioned, the more the view is blocked.

I'm not happy with the carrier as I want it to sit the wheel more central to the car so the rear lights can be seen, and not have the little mimic light at the bottom of the unit. So will be looking to see if they make one with a longer arm, and if not, I'll modify it myself.

Go the Frontrunner RWC, better latching system as well.

Having fun down near Yarram with gghaggis, (GOE's Gordon) and his training weekend. WOW, what a weekend. Had a lot of fun, and found out some absolutely awesome stuff about the D4 and its workings. What a weapon we have at our disposal.

Gordon is a top bloke,the first time I went out to Harvey with him he had a D1!!!!!!
Did you do the theory course too????
He runs a DVD in the background,there is a green 80 series tojo in it.My d2 was in getting a head gasket at the time.I rode shotgun with my best mate Fat Baz in the 80ser for that trip.A couple of weeks later Baz and his lady died in a horrific crash in that 80ser.
