I just rang to order it and asked (about five times) that it will fit KDSS and they said yes. I don't think its a different part to the standard 150 version though.

Cheers! I have been watching your build with envy as I try to adjust to our VX Limited version here in NZ (more water thus more mud but less sand)! Thanks for all the excellent advise!

I am looking forward to giving mine a crack in some mud the coopers have done well in the mud I have been in though. I look forward to following your build up.

KAKADAZ,
Don't TJM supply a middle bashplate under their bullbar like ARB? It appears to be missing from your pics. I can see the 2 side wings.

How does it join up to the BD bashplate or attached to the car?

Heres some average phone pictures mate..





you can see where a section has been notched out to meet up with the BD..

Thanks for that. Certainly very different to the way ARB does it.

HI
Very nice Job! I like it very much.
Please tell me how is handling on 285 on 7.5 inch rim? From the photo looks like there is too much side wall and it may be an inssue on the twisty road.
How it works?

Handles fine mate the sidewalls are very solid on these tyres to a point that I'm now running 36psi to keep the ride nice. KDSS also keeps on road handling very sharp.

Hi Kakadaz,

Sweet looking ride!
I have ordered a Kakadu and have been wishing I could lift it.
Who did your lift job?
Is it a kit that can be purchased and fitted by anyone.
I am in Adelaide and the usual suspects don't want to do the job.

802mm which I think is 31.5".

WA Suspensions in WA mate....do it yourself with 20mm front spacers giving 2" lift keeping standard springs and shocks so sports mode will still work, space the rear self level sensor brackets to give 2" lift and presto $300 all lifted all looks stock no lean.
