Got out and about on the weekend, took a random flex picture for the poser album
Pretty happy with the back, might undo the front sway bar next time and see how much difference that makes

Nice Rodeo mate. I live up the road in Mandurah and also have a Rodeo (see 4by for a Newbie). Have you considered mounting an intercooler or putting on a set of front lockers yet? Also do you get any tyre rub with the lift (assuming you have about 2-3"s...would I be right?)

Hey Em, Im in Perth now days, probably should update that, saw ur thread on perth4x4 too.
Looking at a few things atm including intercooler, dump pipe, front lockers etc, have the diff drop brackets in the loungeroom ready to go in.
No tyre rub at all with mine, has about 2.5 in the front and 2 in the rear. rims are
-22 or -25mm offset with 31x10.5, veeeery close to the inside of the tub when flexed right up though.

Heya,
utes goin good, just finished fixing it from my last trip down Brunswick/Harvey (same weekend I believe you went with the perth4x4 crew, my mate Josh was there is his big 100 series)


Living up in Perth now, still love the Harvey/Brunswick area, is the best place to go for a wheel :-)

Got to do a bit more to ute, still got the diff drop brackets waiting and bullbar. need to buy a body lift and some 33's :-)
