Hey all
Im Karlos in a Cruiser but just call me Karlos.
My set of wheels is a VDJ79 Land Cruiser. Its a plain white workmate and work it does. I dont do any 4wd per say its mainly road and farm use.
The only mod ive got is a forwad facing air scoop and light bar. But im planning on putting a 5 post bullbar and 3 inch exhaust.
Ive drawn up plans for a ladder rack to go in/on the tray. Got my hands on about half of the square tube i need so far. Ill do all cutting and welding myself. Not sure on paint though yet. When its done ill enquire on the price for powder coating and decide then what to do. I have access to a spray booth if its a bit pricey. Plan is to cover damagable carry areas with checkerplate. Ill be doing the tops of the tray sides in checkerplate to when that time comes around.
Cruise control and remote locking will get be fitted at some point to.
Id like to change to mirrors to extendable towing mirrors for when i move some of the tractor implements from 1 farm to another. Bit safer and easier that way.
I also read somewhere about rear wheel spacers helping to keep you straight when driving on dirt or slippery surfaces. Id like to hear peoples opinion on that one...
I do all my own work but am in no way an experienced mechanic. Im pretty handy though, you have to be when farming. Up until recently ive been able to goto a friend whos a mechanic for any help or extra knowledge but hes recently moved away. Hope to pick everyones brains when i run into a bit of trouble.
Cheers and hope to chat soon.
