  • Matty's 07 GX

    Ok here's my rig build up,
    Bought the car in early 07, got the GX 3.0L 6Sp manual as its got the flares like the GXL but not so much gagdgets. Started out straight away from the dealership with,
    Cargo barrier, rubber mats throughout, insect grill, headlamp and bonnet protectors, black duck seat covers throughout, tow bar assembly,
    Then off to ARB and elswhere for the following pretty much,
    Traded in the grandtreks for $120 ea and bought MTR's 265x70x17, maybe 285's in future, more research first
    Dithched the OE suspension and put in OME then later upgraded to bilstien for more lift, 3inch front 3 1/2 back
    Had the diffs locked front and rear with air lockers,(had other locked cars, one of the best upgrades if you ask me)
    ARB winch bar with IPF Extremes spoties and a Warn XP95000 winch
    Safari Snorkell
    Piranha dual battery setup for a 60L engel
    Two ARB roof racks, one tradesman style and the other has a roof top tent setup on it
    i knocked up a marine carpeted shelf that uses the bolt holes of the second set of seats and cargo barrier and has four stainless eyebolts to secure my food box, cooking box, and coleman two burner stove. Bewdy is i can fit two and a half slabs of beer under it. I'm going to modify this soon to just use the area for the double seat for the shelf as i got a bub on the way, so intend to use the single seat for the baby carrier. heres some old photos without the new lift.

            Ah, the old 36-point turn trick. Know it well. Like turning a circle and going through every point in the compass on the way. Once you get past 45 degrees its like no turning back now. Good to see a Darwin set-up. :wink:
