well its been a while, but ive had the ute on the road for about 2 months now, ive mostly been driving the bajebus out of this thing , ive aready put 6000k's on the clock. she seems to take all i can give it and still wants more!!!

curently im getting back into drifting agian so she's kinda becoming a skid pig.. its strange how well these slide with little to no mods, so far ive been just modding it slowly, just tweeking things as i see fit, so far ive put in to it a hydro hand brake, locker, rear swaybar, 120y front swaybar, semi deep dish steering wheel and modded an old saas fixed back seat.ATM im collecting all the parts i need to convert to a L18...

things have kinda gone backward in the last couple of days, to cut a long story short, i crashed into my gate post in my driveway!! the damage isnt that bad, as of today i pulled it all strait and under coated it all, the other day i bought a new grill (the old one was nacked anyway, so no loss there), new bonnet and new apron. as you can see the bumper is stuffed, but that too wasnt in the best shape, so no loss again. oh and the dint in the rear quarter was from the same crash... some how the rear landed on a milk crate of all things

i would probably keep my 13'' jellys, but there only 5'' wide and FAIL offset!!

the rears are 165/65/14 on a 6'' wide rims, the bead on these rims are huge, they came with some 185/70's and the bead still was out side the tyre, 165's are the limit for me on these 6's
