Not to much to update at the moment. still waiting on my suspension (nealy 5 weeks now) been a delay in the shocks. hopefully i dont have to wait to much longer starting to get a little impatiant.
Went for a bit of a wheel around some forestry in Orange last week. first time ive really put it to the test since ive had it. gotta say bloody hell im impressed. with shagged 2" sus lift and some tyres beening the only real mods it just crawled through anything i pointed it at. no pics though sorry fellas. Managed to put another dent in the rear quater to when i slipped off a bank into a 3 foot rut. had about 1 1/2" gap inbetween the back door and a rather large tree root. thankfully it didnt make contact or damage would of been a lot worse.
got a few days off at the moment so doing complete fluid change tomorrow, ill wire up some new speakers and amp and i also bought one of those 3 plug lighter sockets with a usb im going to try and fit it into the centre console. that should keep me busy till my suspension turns up.
Good news and bad news for me. good news suspension turned up today. YAY. bad news I have fitted the rear coils (all good). Fitted drivers side shock ( all good) went to fit passanger shock and the top mount is bent and the thread is striped ( very bad ). This is where you guys come into play. anyone struck this before and how did you fix it?. My thoughts cut old mount of and weld on New one. any other ideas that maybe a bit easier.
well i fixed my little problem with the shock mount. (big thanks to the great guys on here for pointing me in the right direction). had very limited time to finish it off but the rear ends all done, springs, shocks, brake line. sway bar extension pin and brake proposoning bracket. also noticed a broken and a almost broken exhaust mounts. so removed them and welded up. good as new now. tomorrow the diarys empty so attacking the front.
stay tuned for some pics.
had a good day today and got all the new suspension finished off and dropped it down for a wheel alignment. WOW what a improvement in ride quatity. was well worth the wait.
my computor is having a brain fart and wont upload my pics. so ill try again shortly
