Yeah I've got plenty of photos of the ute, I use it as my test subject for playing with f-stops, shutter speed and exposure.
Going well broke one of the steel brake lines on this trip and had to drive back with limited to no brakes .
Need to do something about my front guards as the 35" kept rubbing when flexed up

Geese mundy,no brakes in a old 6 would be interesting bet the old 1st and second gears got a work out. Bugger about the brake line, which line was it, ive herd the rear one is known to get caught on stumps, sticks, rocks ect.

Please post up some more g60 photo from the journey to the Macquarie river, these 3 pics you posted earlier got me craving to get the 66 done

Cheers Michael

Great pics, when I fitted the 35's to HP, I had the same issue.

Not wishing to buy new springs I put 1" longer shackles up front I had from the 73. Gives 1/2' lift at the wheel, install spacers on the bumpstops about 1"

This should help a little.

Front right steel line, don't know how it happened , the 72 still single circuit so it pumped all the fluid out the one leak. Got it the few k's back to my parents place in low 2 and 3 where I cut the line crimped the end then folded it so I could have some brakes for the rest of the drive home.

I've been thinking shackles and spacers or taking a grinder to it and cutting and rolling the guards

Personally leave the guards alone if you can, unless you have a spare set etc. Mr Muck used a shifter and his result worked quite well, discussed it in length at Simpson desert trip. I would still lengthen your shackles, DIY with some flat plate, nothing huge but a little will help, extend bump tops will be best bet, after that then consider re-rolling. But do a spare set so you can alwAys revert if needed
