finally got my rig on the road. it was better condition than i thought it was going to be. i cant believe how little wear after 15 years, maybe i got lucky but apart from some old fashoined elbow grease, and a complete servicing its rolling. and it rocks! took it on a little off road test run on sunday, went into this area frequented by 1 ton fords and high lift silverados. they laughed at me when i putted in. 4 big pick ups tried in vain to make this steep dip through a muddy bit and steep up again, after the $40,000 f150 got towed out after nosing-in and getting stuck, i took the chance and went for it. what do you know... the Deli made it, complete with a little belch of black smoke for good measure (still got some 2 month old jap diesel in the tank)
anyways it was pretty funny to see the look on these guys faces.
heres a pic of the new addition. my kids think the swivel seats are the coolest thing ever invented.

it came that way, lifted i mean. did a really nice job of it too. funny how it is dailed for offroad... but it was never used offroad, the underneath hardly has a mark on it.

Ya. Know the feeling when you surprise the mates with where I get the cart.
This ones taken about a year ago up near my way.
4 cars in the trip but you only see 3 in this shot. (mines the cart) If you look at the pic the road goes up & swings to the left & rises towards the top of the pici . The first 2 cars where getting stuck so the guys expected me to have the same problems. God I love a narrower wheel track cause I sure wished I had the camera when I got up easy as :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ps. nice looking car.

Sydney :lol::lol: :lol: :lol:
You spelt your name wrong.
How has the front been lifted on yours. I'm expecting a 50mm diff drop on yours as well as a spacer at the top ball joint.
Can you take a pic of your front from under neath.
Flares make the car !!!!!!!
