Car Of The Month

To jack the ride height up by the required seven inches, Wizard Performance whipped up a quartet of coilovers packing King Springs and Rancho adjustable dampers, with a beefed-up swaybar up front and a chromoly panhard bar in the rear to stop too much rear axle movement. The whole lot was covered in original Holden Hot House Green for a show finish, while the steering was converted to Toyota Hilux 5H set-up by close mate Brent Davies, to suit the new frame. 

Wheels of choice are 15x10-inch American Racing alloys running gigantic Super Swamper rubber that spans a truly insane 39.5x15x15 ratio, but costs the two-door 110kW of grunt at the rear wheels over smaller 32-inch Swamper tyres, dropping power from 335kW to "only" 225kW! Somewhat disturbingly, DAHULK runs standard GQ Patrol discs and drums braking set-up, though it doesn't see road use (though engineering is currently being undertaken) and there's no risk of it taking to a racing circuit so that eases some concerns

Body wise, the fat kit adorning Bruce Banner's weapon of choice is all custom with lurid flares being moulded onto the fibreglass front guards and four-inch bar work used throughout (except for the front bar which uses three-inch). It was in this form that DAHULK started appearing at car shows and winning plenty of trophies, however, Gary felt there was something missing, something that would really blow everyone's minds and set this ute off as a completely lunatic piece of Aussie home-built engineering: a kicking audio visual system.
