Not sure that you aren't asking for a fairly high chance of a wobble at speed with that much offset mate - may not, but the Ackerman angle is getting smashed with a -44 offset so just be prepared for that is all I'd suggest ... oh ... and tyres wearing out on the outer edges and squealing/grinding around corners as the scrub radius will be getting a major upset also ..Quote:

oh true, i didn't even think of that scotty, i have a few mates who have 15x10 with that offset and havent said anything bad about them yet, will have to look more into it then, cheersQuote:

yeah i think your right scotty, i already get the typical wobble at 80k's as the nissan's do, i know i need to invest in a bigger steering damper as i've gotten bigger suspension now, maybe the 15x8 with -22 i got now might be a keeper ha ha :)
so when are you getting your 5 inch lift scotty? and would u be going to mud bulls and music this year in october?
Fitting the suspension saturday week over at YNOT's ... can't wait.
Planning on a run down to Melbourne in late October mate, so won't be able to make that one unfortunately! When are you next up for a wheel at Beerburrum or up your way??
oh nice, be tough looking unit with the 5 inch lift, yeah at the moment im only home for 3 days from my roster and one of them is a week day so can imagine having trouble trying to get the rig fixed but after this weekend should be all good then thinking going up to double island for the weekend around the 30th july, but let us know when thinking next to heading out to glass house or around there, and have you been out 4x4ing at bell forestry?
Nope ... but more than happy to check it out!! Let me know when ..Quote:

Will have to organise a run with us lot ... would be bigger than Hitlers gas bill !!!!Quote:

Bumpety bump bump.
Still looking for all the same gear at present. Im not back in Perth until the 2nd of August, but would like to sort things out before then. Otherwise will be buying brand new when i get back.
Cheers for any help.
George.
I have an alloy bullbar but not sure that suits what you're after ... if you're in Perth, it would cost to send it over, but if you want to pay that - it's yours ... there is a photo of it in the for sale section I think, but another below:
Attachment 6291
Cheers for the offer mate. It will probebly cost too a bit too much in courier fees.
Thanks anyways, hope it sells for a good amount.
As above i'm chasing a GQ/GU 4.2/4.5/4.8 EFI Fuel Sender with pump
I'm in Melbourne Let me know what your have either by PM or 0405 094 245
Cheers Elliot
Anyone got one of these lurking about? would also be interested in an aircleaner.
Asking on behalf of Bob and Doreen, who don't have a 'puter [would only mean something to the group that went to LCMP I guess]
Ta, Rici

I was hoping someone might have a spare and would be willing to part with it for a nominal fee.
If anyone can help, they can PM me here.
Any help is greatly appreciated
