hey Guys. I have had this bad boy for just over a month now tinkering with it in the shed. Thought i would share it with you all.


Suspension: NOW HAS 30mm HD dobinson leafs and upgraded HD torision bars.

Body Lift: 2 inch body lift - Has now been approved and mod plated for QLD

Tyres/Wheels:A set of BFG KM2 32 x 11.5 x 15. i love them!

Traction Aids: LSD rear. Front Aussie LOKKA. Reduction gearing is about to be installed.

Bullbar: Toyota SR5 bullbar Modified to fit the MU, 2 inch lift and 12000 lb winch. Air port on bullbar for easy access.

Spot lights and Lighting: HID spotties on the front. 2 10" LED light bars.

Communications/GPS: GME TX3100, GME antenna.

Dual Batteries: Not at the moment. Have run wire to back of care for the dual battery while camping. (to be mounted under false floor).

Engine: 2.8 TD manual. EGR have been removed and Go fast bits boost control. running 13PSI. Not really any massive plans for it, 180K’s.

Exhaust: 2.5" full mandrel bent system.

Sound system: Pioneer rear speakers, HERTZ front speakers and a JVC Bluetooth headunit.

External: Custom Bullbar mount and winch bar. (nicely mounted behind the alloy bar), Custom roof racs to suit roof top tent.. 160 LPM compressor mounted under the bonnet. Set of gumtree special rhino rood racks.

Internal: Have just started on a false floor set up in the rear of my beloved MU.

Others: Ball joint flip. Remote central locking. The winch control box has been mounted up next to the fuse box. keeps it out of the weather!

Been reading the forum for a little while now. This is my second MU but my first ever post :) - So play nice :D

Today i ordered a front lokka for it :D not that i needed it. Just cause i wanted it. Also have a snorkel on the way.
Pretty impressed with where it will go with how much effort!

That Toyota bar looks like it fitted well. Did you have to mod it much?
