HAHAHAHAHA nice one mate bit of a shaker
Hi Everyone
I bought new shocks yeasterday. The old ones were offroad boss 425mm compressed length and 732mm extended length (12 inch travel shocks).
I have stepped up a size on the rear to 444mm compressed length and 770mm extended length (13 in travel) and I only need to lower the bump stop 25 mm giving me a total of 95mm reduction in up travel ( I have already raised the stop on the diff 70mm)
On the front I have stepped down a size to 404mm compressed length and 690mm 11 in travel) extended length as I wasnt maxxing out the 732's under flex.
on the way home yesterday I stopped of at superior engineering to use the travel ramp I can get 970mm high (which is higher than a 44 gallon drum).
Here is the final flex shot on the 732's and a couple of shots of the shocks. The rear shocks are taller than a 35 in tyre
That's effen awesome mate sH1t hot!!
Cheers growlers Its getting there slowly
Hey Ben,
How'd you go with the new centre console, did you get that sorted yet.
I want to see it with stubbies installed.(Please note I do encourage responsible consumption of alcohol)
Seriously though love the ute. What a truck

Hi
well I put the new shocks in today. I couldnt resist going out to flex it up. I have found a few issues though.
1. the rear is twisting that much now that the bump stops dont actually touch. they miss each other and it ends up bottoming out the shock.
2. I am completly detatching the spring now so I need drop out cones
3. I am off to a silver mine in texas tomorrow and its gunna be hectic to try and fit in all the mods and routine maintenance before scienic rim.
oh well thats offroading for ya......LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a few more pics
Cheers

hi guys
I'm on a bit of a spending spree at the moment Ive bought some spot lights, some rock lights, new head lights, a power steering cooler kit, come monday I will order my 85% reduction gears which I cannot WAIT to get. bring on the crawl
the spotties are 180mm roo lights and the rock lights are the crappiest cheapest smallest halogen light I could find $24.99 a pair and thats not on special haha
I installed the new spotties and rock lights today I havnt wired the rock lights yet as I dont have any cable so I just dummy wired them with house wire to test as you can see in the photos lol
I have some old cheap arse spotties I got of ebay years ago they are going on the head stock of the tray facing out and backwards plus the old cat flood light that will be wired into the revearse circuit
This is all for the night runs so I can see the whole way around the ute
here is a few pics of the spotties and rock lights. the ute has just had a wash too so she is looking super sexy
well well I have been busy today.
I finally have had a chance to work on the ute I have fixed my cv, given it a full service,a wash and finished wiring my rock lights.
I was goin to put my old spotties on the headstock but I didnt like it so I drilled holes in the tray chassis and mounted just behing the rear mudguard. now the whole ute is going to be well lit up on the night runs
Cheers
Benny
NIce one Benny looks good mate, gonna put any in the front wheel arches ?
Im thinkin about it acually I have another spare switch
Just need the disco ball now and you'll be set!!!! lmao
Look forward to seeing it lit up in all it's glory!!
Cool lights on m y to do list but for now gotta put up with the dolphin torches hahahahhaha
ha I wish my old ones were as good as them.. I had to do a big water crossing during the floods and the previous owner swapped the lights for semi sealed. It was a week till I realized the were half full of water and all ther chrome had started to flake away from the reflector ther were as useful as a chocolate teapot i tell ya.Quote:
