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

I’ll just tell the police officer that it has to be this low to fit in the shed

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

Yep, lowered the tyres as well, the only problem I am having is I keep hitting my head on the door jamb as I get in , it’s Low

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.

Nah, just getting old Beatts. They say the older you get the more you bang your head? I think it's the balder you get, the more you bang your head!

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!
