I’ve just gotten my truck back from my mates at TJM Perth. They’ve had it for a couple of days to get some much needed clearance and protection added, and I had them mount my roof racks in the gutters rather than using the under door clips.
The bullbar is front end protection and before I leave to head up North this was my must have modification. The protection it offers is paramount against kangaroos and cows, especially if travelling at night.
A full set of underbody armour has been added to protect the soft underside of the truck against what I’ve been told can be lethally sharp rocks, hopefully it’s not needed but the peace of mind that it gives is worth it.
This has been complemented by a lift to the truck giving me a bit more space. I’ve bottomed out on the soft sand at Wedge Island a couple of times, with associated digging and snatching to get me out. Hopefully the lift and new tyres will get me to a point where this is less relevant.
The tyres are still to come, as are a whole bunch of other mods. Stay tuned for part 2.
