Derek,

What rock sliders did you end up going with?
I saw you were looking at Buds Customs earlier on then Superior Engineering.
Did you get the ones from Superior Engineering or from somewhere else?

I'm going with the stealth sliders from Superior, get them when I'm up Brissy way on my epic trip.

Great looking truck! Any idea How high your truck is to top of the roof rails? Looking at doing my new 150 similar to your's but with 3inch superior engineering lift and hoping it will still go into my gararge!

Have fitted Airbag Man heavy duty airbags and it has made a big difference to towing our Cub Camper and also the extra weight of the stuff I carry normally in the Prado, should have done it sooner. Just need to sort out a trans cooler to help with towing the Cub Camper. A little longer in Adelaide then Tassie here we come.

Cheers Derek

hi mate couldn't see if it says anywhere in build up about what offset are u running in the wheels and what brand are ur upper control arms.
also I've been looking on the fuel website and it says for the octane 17x8.5 rim they only available in 6x135. is that close enough to our 6x139.7 and offers the same with the rim I'm looking at.
I'm looking at the fuel maverick myself 17x9 +20 offset

rims are +15 offset and the stud pattern is correct as it comes with 2 types of stud patterns, next time I would get blanks and get the stud pattern drilled .

Haven't posted in a while, since I've been in Tassie had a trans cooler fitted in Launceston, found that I needed it towing a camper trailer with tinnie on top around Tassie. Average temp before fitting was 100 - 120 degrees on the scan gauge, after fitting 70 - 90 degrees. Should have fitted one before leaving on this round Aussie trip and did it myself...
