Thread: Disco ute

I have the Firestone Coil bags not sls bags as such.

FYI when i have factory airbags in my 93 rangie it did talk to the the main ecu as it new what speed i was doing to lower itself when the doors were open and even when it was in park with the hand brake on. I would think that a custom system would be cheaper and easier to install

Ok so it has been a while since I have done an update.... so here it is.



I've bought some new shoes. 6 of them. 267-75-16. Very nice. As you can see the front is a little sagged from the ARB winch bar.



Tested the flex, all stock suspention, Just to make sure that the rear wheels didn't rub, all good. Theres about 18" under that back wheel.





I made up these mounts for the tray.



I've got my tray basicaly tacked up except for the hurdle. I'll make it out of 3" stainless, that way i can use mandrel bends.





Rough measurements are 7' by 6'. The rear wheels sit in the middle. The main thing is that the OZTent fits.

Here are some pics for Stirlsilver, this is what I done for the corners on the roof. The sections came from the rear of the disco, and seem to blend very well.




Hope you all enjoy.

Cheers,

Tim

Cheers

We have body filler on the roof, and things are starting to go into etch primer. Its all systems go out in the shed. I'll post pics when I can.

Gee I'm very VERY excited.

Cheers,
Tim

So am I hurry up with those pics already

So here is a very quick up date.

The rear quarter is welded in.



Another shot.


The roof is almost ready to prime.


Another couple of hours work and it will be finished. I dont think I will ever get the bog dust out of the shed.





I am very happy with how this came up.


Ahhh it looks so good!!!!


Thats all for now. Not much will happen in the next couple of weeks. Working in Geelong from tomorrow onwards for a week, (no weekend for me). Then I'm off to S.A for a service trip for 4 days.

Cheers Tim
