Your an animal!!

Hey I know someone putting together a group buy on an Air Freespool extended drum kit for the high mount if your keen let me know. Still chasing numbers but the $ look good. Maybe a $200 discount.

The key to facing your fears is to hit them head on.

I'll be checkn yours out in September mate no doubt at all.

What am i missing in september ??? M.r

Like the look of that rear spring mount brace. When you say that version is only suited for patrols with a body lift, is that only for fitting purposes? I suppose if one was to fit one without a body lift could possibly undo the body mounts to gain a little lift to pop the bolts in.
Is there any drilling necessary?

I'd say from looking at mine when I was putting the cab back on that it will foul on the body.

There is a bolt on brace on their website for patrols without body lift but it is 450 odd bucks compared to the 120 of the one used here.

Hey Roofy, sorry mate, missed your post. Yeah the guys are coming down for a weekend driving in i think early October now. Date is set just not handy. The 3 amigos are driving down to play and we might do a meetup and a camping trip. Thinking the high country and maybe camp at woods point. I will post a Meetup in the Meetup section about this as there are some requirements but should be a great weekend.

Yeah i think that it would be very difficult to fit without a body mount. Also the top mount of the shocks foul with the brace in position when you try to fit or remove the shocks. Damn it! If you want to swap out your shocks then the brace needs to be undone and lifted to allow for the shocks to be removed. Head Up.

I think the bolt on $450 kit is actually really good value for what it is! Allot of Engineering R&D went into making that one. When i have the cash i will be fitting one to the GUIV for sure.

So here is a pic of my rear spring tower before the Superior Brace kit went in!!!

HOLY CRAP!!

Didn't you design that hole to let all that mud and water out
