fisch Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 That thing scared the crap out of me in the best way possible! It will make little kids cry for their mommies! Love it. And glad to have another aussie in the house. How on earth will you get traction back there. Lead blocks? Quote Link to comment

datonalky Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 hey all, havnt been on here for ages but i thought id throw up a quick clip of my ute on a test and tune day, still got a long way to go with the tune as i dont get chance to run it very often..... the converter im running is a little to large and isnt locking up fully during a run and isnt very spectacular yet but when its all sorted it should be fairly quick, also would i be treading on anyones toes if i got some ratsun plates made up for it???? here is the youtube link.....

Skib Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 also would i be treading on anyones toes if i got some ratsun plates made up for it???? the general rule is kinda just dont use it on something that would give the forum a bad name so i think your safe :lol: your ute is sick Quote Link to comment
datonalky Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 sweet as, i have d4drag plates on it atm but ratsun is so much more fitting!!! thanks for the kind words! Quote Link to comment
datonalky Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Maybe a silly question but will a short bed fit on a long bed chassis? im thinking about ditching the tray and tubbing a bed for it but dont know if a long bed would look dikky on it? Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Nope won't bolt up. Long bed would look pretty good tubbed out, IMHO. Truck is dope, motor sounds awesome. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

The two front most mounts won't have a bed over them to bolt to and there will be a 10" gap between the cab and box. If you manage to move the box forward to match the cab the wheel wells won't line up. Quote Link to comment
Rob W. Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 long beds are better any way. It look just fine I think. Quote Link to comment
