Yeah I know but trying to save for the TD built is impossible! These braces, rear drawers and get my long range tank finished are on my to do list aswell.

Maybe I'll sell my kids...

BOSS Kit turned up today. Good instructions and all hardware needed was in the box. Nice looking piece of kit. I am more comfortable fitting this kit than welding brackets onto the chassis.
Yeah mudski, I will be fitting a long range tank at the same time I fit the Boss Kit. I figure if i pull the old tank out I will have plenty of room to fit the braces and then fit the long range tank. Do it all in one hit. Might even use the rest of the Tectyl 506 on the body behind the tank before I fit the new one.

How do you fit them, looks like you mount them using the bump pad bolts then drill the 4 holes for the countersunk screws and thats about it. Any advice or recommendations welcome.
Nice red shocks, Koni's?
You use existing holes, no need for any drilling.

Dammit, now I'm paranoid about my chassis...
Well, I checked mine and so far so good, but it had a gentle life before I got it, I dunno if it will stay happy now I've got it.
I guess that's $495 I gotta spend, that I didn't plan on, ah well, that's cars for you.
Looks like I'll be placing an order, does anyone know any reason I shouldn't get the boss kit? (I don't have a body lift so the superior one is out the window).
Thanks all.
93 GQ wagon, RB30, extractors, 2 inch tough dog lift, 5 spd, A/T KO2 32's, steel winch bar, rated recovery points, red arc dual battery set up, rhino roof racks, UHF etc etc. Slow and steady might not win the race but it gets me there eventually...

Superior do 2 types of kits, the across tower brace and the no lift required brace.

Thanks for that Kallen, I've looked at their website, so can anyone offer a suggestion as to which option to go with the superior brace kit for no lift, or the boss kit?

Really mate I think it's personally choice.
We have different blokes running different kits and they all like each of them.
I guess if your running no body lift the boss kit is probably the kit of choice.
Not sure how it's priced against the superior kits though.
I know the superior full length tower brace to suit body lift has been copied quite a bit and the clones are cheaper. So again, more options.
