Glad you got a good store. Got warned about that mob being dodgy in Vic n NSW. Missus went to a pedders here in SA for her Prado (wheel alignment issue) they quoted $3K dodgy *****. Went to AllTrack4wd got it fixed for $370. FORK YOU Pedders!!!
Hijack over hehehehe:210:
The old Pedders up-sell trick. Fell for it in the 90's with my VL Commodore. Never again.
Having said that, I do run their foam cell shocks up front but got them from my mechanic.
well they are franchised but well stocked im happy with this bloke.
Id never take my Patrol to a suspension place , I get all work done at 4x4 shopsQuote:

one of guys over here has put a 3" twin system on his and it sounds nice he jas also put in the twin battery setup and OL bullbar and the aircompressor behind the bullbar as there is no room in the engine bay.
Mate has a colour coded ARB deluxe bar on his,, looks very nice indeed
and a Rasslar on the rear ,,,classy looking bar.
They must fly with an exhaust up grade on them
Twin 3" would sound tough as all get out. Gunna do it to yours:devilred:Quote:

Reading some of the threads on that other place it seems the 3" upgrade does little to performance.Quote:

Would sound awesome though! If it drones, add mufflers until it stops.Quote:

But where are the pics @!!!!
:useless:
Could use a varex or similar muffler. It has a butterfly in it to open it up for a better flowing exhaust and to also close it up to make it quieter.
V8's are the best. My daily is a 6L v8 and i still crack a smile when i flex my big toe. Missus cracks a smile too :)
Friday on went the arb delux barQuote:

better to get the correct spring load in the first place , just saying.
Id leave exhaust for the time being
spot beam over 400m usableQuote:

So you're saying you're grey now, lolQuote:

Definitely need a few different angles
Ok, got on the PC, so can see the pics. Like others said, need to take a few "more flattering" pics of the bar. :) That angle doesn't make it look too tuff! Looking forward to a few good pics of the whole truck and showing off the bar.
The lights look really interesting, at least something different to all else that is coming out lately. Keen to hear what you think as you start to use them.
As for the airbags, I don't think the article said they were definitely no good. I think it did say they are not meant to be used to carry more weight than the truck is designed for in the first place. I think the problems in general arise from overloading and these can be a bit like a snatch strap. They both can be excellent used the way they were intended, but both have a lot of potential to bring you undone if you use them outside that range. I think they still have their place, just need to be sensible about loads.
yeh with the air bags they are only for levelling no overloading here but they also help with body roll as well.Quote:
