I've been rooting around this wonderful site for a few years now, picking up words of wisdom as I go ;)
Thought it time to do a little Ride thread of my own.
I have a 1996 SWB Y60 4.2 n/a oil burner :thumbup: well at least it was when I first had it .
As I bought it :

First job on my list was to get those ticky wee tyres off . I had some 33s on my old Terrano so put them on straight away. Better but not enough diff clearance yet , so I got some Simex 35 x 10.5 x 16s sorted. They're fitted on Toyota rally spec alloys :cool:

At this stage I'd just done 2" body lift and that really wasn't man enough for offroad clearance for the 35s

So I got a set of Pedders +2" springs and shocks . Pretty much anything else was over my budget as over here in Wales Aus stuff is bonkers money :/

That gave me a bit more flex and plenty of room for the 35s now :biggrin:

And immediately put into action

Once I had that lot sorted I was amazed at how good this beast is offroad . A rare beast over here and so great to wind up the landies with it :tease:
Next things on my list are the things that seem to perplex you southerners somewhat :animierte-smilies-f
Namely, manual brake bias control and internal snorkel :tease:
