Damn I missed out on guessing. You'll have to get another mod so I can play too. What lights did you get mate?
Smergen's LTZ Colorado - The Rock Truck
- Thread starter Smergen
- Start date
The stock standard ARB ones mate. Figured as an entry into the market, I wanted to do more investigation into light bars and other bar mounted paraphenalia, but needed something in the first instance.
For @Drover....
Third fuel fill is in. This trip was almost 100% general commuting...
70.3L for 732km @ 9.6L/100km.
(Overall: 202L for 2131km @ 9.5L/100km)

Thats good stuff, a worthy replacement for the Jeeperific when it starts to get old,......... well youvé nursed it enough now put the boot in and drive it properly.
Well in a fit of spontaneity The Rock Truck's first major mod is happening on Monday and it isn't any of the ARB gear... Do we play the guessing game again, wait for photos or shall I just tell people?
A set of Bullocks knackers hanging from the tow bar.....
Nope, but that's where mine will be if I keep spending money like this...
OK... The Rock Truck is in the shop, getting it back tomorrow afternoon.
Whilst I'm here thought I might give an update on recent tow up to Mt Franklin. This car continues to grow on me more and more. The money on the upgrade continues to be reaffirmed as towing is now so stress free. I just sit it in manual mode and flip back between 4 and 5 as needed and on we truck.
Managed to keep a constant 100km/h up the Pentland Hills which I was particularly impressed with.
Everything seems to be settling in nicely, but I feel that perhaps some work at the back end might come at some stage. With the tanks full the back end seemed a little floaty on the "less than smooth" road between Ballan and Daylesford. I reckon a set of airbags might help dampen that out a tad. Given the large distance the stock springs have, I just wonder that it floats up and down more than I'd like.
Still, that'll have to wait... Here is a happy snap from the weekend.

No I'm not @17triton, but it's one of those things I've been umming and ahhing about. Maybe it's something I need to invest in to at least try out.
After Labour day you could come around and we could set my hitch up on your car and try it out if you like?
You see, it's posts like these that make this place what it is... What a generous offer.
I reckon I might take you up on that offer mate.

Best thing I ever did @Smergen was lift my Colorado 2 inches and do away with the sagy stock suspenion. Also doing the shocks at the same time and adding air bags was a massive gain for control and response on and off road.
