Derek11's 2012 Blue Storm 150 GXL build up

for a roof rack i went for a wind cheetah, i like the way it attaches to the roof with runners, will get it mounted in a little over 2 weeks time. Also due for a 6 month service so book it in for that. Looking at the KM on the clock at just over 4000km the service every 6 months will line up to close to 5000km.

Cheers Derek

Love the lift on the car Derek! been contacting a few places here and geting some quotes for an upgrade for mine when it gets here. contacted ARB and Pedders so far, is there anyone else in the Darwin area you would sugest to contact or not contact? It's also great to see a few others from Darwin on here.

I got my suspension done at L&S Suspension out at Pinelands, excellent job, just go in and have a chat with Locky on what you want.

Then some bush travel now the weather is good.

today do the off road recovery points and fit HID globes in the high beams

a little bit of a modification to fit the recovery points
the globes have a small ballast on the back so no need to mount the ballasts

photos to come
cheers Derek

Weather good? Will be happy when this humidity buggers off!

The rack looks great, very streamlined. It's the one thing that the dealership stuffed up with mine and I ended up with a rhino-rack, it's a bit bulky and silver for my liking. I'll sort something out.

What's a good day half day trip close to Darwin? Not looking for anything too serious just yet but just somewhere to slowly break the new girl in. Was looking at the Reynolds but its still shut.

Reynolds still shut, shit thats late, there's some tracks around Adelaide River to do, I'm thinking about going maybe this week sometime out there to check the tracks out.
Not sure if the track out to the top of Butterfly Gorge is doable yet, a mate tried 2 weeks ago and ended up winching for 2 hours and he has dual arb air lockers

cheers Derek

just open up the box with the HID high beam kit and tried to fit, i've been supplied with a low beam kit, rang Offroad Industries and yep they supplied the wrong kit, now wait for a few days for the right kit express post no charge, now i have a low beam kit for free but i don't want to fit low beam HID.

first job today didn't happen

Hi Derek,

Do you have any photos of how you got the wiring up to the roof? I am looking at doing a similar job as soon as I work out which lights I will use.

Cheers,

Steve

I've just been to Oppy Lock and ordered an E-locker for the rear end as well as 4 x max-trax in blue, like I said ching ching, getting close to having the beast how I want it

I tried to take photos but didn't work out, basically its run down the right gutter then under the rear door seal so you don't even know its there, i'll do some more photos this arvo and see if they are any better.
Also the switch to turn the lights on are on the rear door when we are parked up for camping purposes, but they still turn on when put in reverse.

Cheers Derek
