Lowered the back of the Ute yesterday because it would not fit in the house garage with the hoops on. Before

Put some fake bags of cement in the back of the tub. Works every time.

Looks good Wiz. Yeah I hit my head also, sometimes I feel like I’m one of those contortionist’s stepping into a small box. Have to get in nice an slow to ensure I clear everything.

Perfect stance, not sure about those front tyres though. Were they charging you by weight?

The gates were so rusty on the bottom that a few hinges broke off, just doing the bottom rails, as I’m not that fussed on the condition of them, as long as they shut and don’t rattle.
Rusty Gates, good name for a Nascar driver!
