Swung a spanner on the ute for the first time in what seems like years. Pulled one front shock off as it has a bent shaft, the other one has pitting and rust has started showing up, so I'll replace the shafts, change the shim stack start and doing my own shock tuning
Only basic tools required to strip them down

Almost finished tinting. I left the front windows to show the comparison.
IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.
What's with the excess exhaust tube sticking out past the flange? Did they not weld those on?Originally Posted by growler2058

Hey growler are Hahn making exhaust lube these days ?
It takes a little practice but isn't that bad. I think the hardest part is cutting the tint to the correct size. I watched a lot of YouTube videos to get the technique down pat first.

OK never seen it like that before, so I take it the other end of the flange is only half on the pipe to get it to seal.

Did you think of wrapping the dump pipe to keep radiant heat away from your firewall??
I see the other end has a slight flare so it all fits together, very well thought out,,,,lol
