Looking good Martin! I like the tyres too! 
I like the tyres too! When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Swifty's new look
Die dieet het nogal 'n groot verskil gemaak.Ek het self lus om myne op 'n dieet te sit
Daai staal canopy van my het seker naby die 400kg geweeg. Die verskil in performance sonder die canopy en die ander groceries is baie beter.
Ek het nognie getoets nie, maar ek glo die brandstof verbruik gaan ook verbeter.

Re: Swifty's new look
Ek dink die stickers wat jy afgetrek het, gaan ook n verskil in gewig en aerodinamika maak 
(terg net
)
Hy lyk vir my alte mooi die bakkie.
Is die swingarm vir die spaarwiel op die standaard bumper gebou?

Re: Swifty's new look
Ja, ek het dit op die standaard bumper gedoen. Om dit stewig te maak bestaan die bracket uit 'n pyp wat knap in die standaard bumper se pyp pas, dit gly dan so ongeveer 600mm in die bestaande bumper se pyp in. Dit het ook 'n onderste bracket wat saam met die standaard bumper se bracket aan die chassis vasbout.Is die swingarm vir die spaarwiel op die standaard bumper gebou?

Hi Hannes and welcome!
From the pic it looks like Martin has done an SAS using a Hilux axle with import diff and Cruiser coils. but I can't see so lekker ... Is the SAS done with a set of swing arms?

Yes we used a Hilux axle with Cruiser (Mikem) coils with swing arms with a panhard rod.
