hoping to do both so it is a compromise, going with progressive rate springs and heavy duty shocks hoping it gives a good enough ride and at 50mm higher a little better clearance. got some dynamat to put around to quieten that td42 a bit .. lol, maybe a blower later but not in a rush $$ are in short supply. my daily drive is 26 years old and needs a new gearbox...
Wish I had taken a photo like that. I wrote the measurements down somewhere before I did my lift, fark if I know where it is now.Quote:

Looking great Garett. :smiley_thumbs_up:
starting work on my rear bar. got some steel and measuring it out exactly. it may be a little heavy but i'm using what i have/get cheaply
I look forward to seeing the design you do for the rear bar. I want to down the track make a custom rear bar as well. :)

its done .... well close enough
Interesting design, certainly makes it unique. :)
cubby box is wired up, but it needs some design changes which will come later, changed 6 front end bushes. stealing remote central locking from my old car, sorted the headlights added some girly spot lights.
who knew patrols drifted so well in the wet..... 3rd gear round abouts, wooo fun, guy behind needed new underwear... need to save up for tyres i guess.
I had 5 cars run up the butt of my other 4x4 with a rear bar similar to yours.
I drove home every time and not even a scratch. looking good my friend,
looking good. Must be happy to have it rego'ed ?
Great looking rig mate! Must be satisfying to see your hard work paying off!
ok so been driving it around and it suffers from scps....(squeaky clutch pedal syndrome) driving me nuts. everytime i press the clutch squeeeeeeek. thats like 4 times before i get to 30k/hr as it squeeks in and out arrrg. so pedal is out looking for where this is coming from
pulled it apart thinking just grease some bushes ...... yeah right there was no bushes and it had worn nearly 5 mm into the housing... time to weld in some washers. made some bushes from some plastic put it all back with some grease and done, no more squeak for awhile. when i figure out how to post photos from my phone i'll put some up.

blew the a/c pressure switch .... no a/c till i can source a replacement. not fun when its 35+ .... nearly made the temp gauge get to 1/4.... nearly
changed the thermostat the old one was seized open... the long bolt was rusty but it came out in one piece. the needle got off the cold line and it seems to drive a little nicer with less smoke.
central locking kit is halfway in and hands free has just arrived.. more work
and yes my GQ will have everything when i'm done... reverse cam dash cam
central lock finished dash cam reverse cam installed, swivel hub rebuild done both sides. no pics hands were too dirty to pick up the camera.
nice newish seat for me Attachment 63711
Attachment 63712 found these too not yet on but thats later.
hmm leaking clutch slave.... looks like i need a new one. a job to squeeze in tomorrow
ok so don't know why so many people have problems bleeding the clutch ... piece of cake. after the aust day trip washed out headlight all nice and clean again. washed out the foot well and under the car( i love vinyl )
hoping to fit my new 2nd hand headers tomorrow night. then onto new spring mats, coolant overflow. and seal up washer bottle again, and a new rear wiper blade.
ok so 1 stud and 2 bolts later. the extractors are on. man that was some effort. package arrived while i was working on it so gotta get that from post office
