Re: mY GQ AKA "Syncerus Caffer"
Gents,
Will have some pics of my new custom bumper over the weekend. Also decided to remove the lights off the roof rack to be legal. I now ill have to round 51W led lights on the bumper.
I have also fitted the Cetek DC to DC with two 95 amp hour battery's on a customer slider behind the rear seat. Will be posting some pics as well.

Re: mY GQ AKA "Syncerus Caffer"
Grant says he is now an overlander. No more weekend trails.
So how he sports moffie tyres.
Grant, where did you get the bumper done?

Re: mY GQ AKA "Syncerus Caffer"
Sorry, Grant, but a car lifted that high just looks k@k on road tires...
So now you are going to have to take the lift out as well...

Re: mY GQ AKA "Syncerus Caffer"
Gents,
TX for all your opinions. I took them to heart, but then found I needed a number 2 so that took priority.
Mud terrain tyre's are good for getting your truck to look cool. I have had two sets of Muddies on the troll, and needed a change. The tyre are now Cooper ATR3's and I am very happy with them. Did Moegatle and De Wild and had no problems at all. Fuel consumption has improved and road holding and breaking way better. Even got a 80 k km warranty on the Coopers.
Maybe next set will be Muddies again, but for now these will stay. The dimensions are the same as the Maxxis so these are not smaller tyres than what I had. Then new front bumper has been tucked in and offers far better approach angle. This is what changes the look of the troll. Soon I will have a custom rear bumper with quarter panel chop.
PS. TJM Bumper with bash plates still available for R 7000.00

Re: mY GQ AKA "Syncerus Caffer"
Oh, I hate you .... How did you get that. I tried ordering a set of Trucklite's for my Sani. Trucklite refused to help me. I had to go through local company (can't remember who now). They gave me a run around for nearly three months between the US and SA. I gave up and still drive with my normal Halogen globes
