Looking at swb with/for my son.

What's the go with 4" and Rego, need certificates ?
N.S.W

Yup I think to be legal you will need engineers report. A Shorty with 2" is gunna go pretty anywhere ya point it any Q for that mattter

[Robo]

If say the 4" springs are no good or he really doesn't like to float that high, what ever!.
I have 2" h/duty springs for 93 lwb sitting in garage doing nothing are they compatible/fit ok?.
or they fit but simply dont flex enough for swb?.
incase dad can help him out some how if needed.
may sell,,,,,, but keeping for now incase I decide to go bush one day.

[growler2058]

99.9999% sure no worries they'll fit
Will need to change shocks to suit 2"springs


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

[Robo]

Slide rails/step, or plans as his g/dad is very qualified to help him knock some up.
Pr rear side window frames for swb?.
what ever so-long as still usable.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Needing attention
only real problem so far I thought air comp &/or idler were stuffed and bearings making a rumble,
While Coasting up down not matter, get a real loud rumble from some where underneath but it didn't show up till to late! go figure.
Haven't had a chance to investigate yet, went to work at 5pm
Air con not switch-en on at all.
there is lots more but real problems first.
Then some Fun Fun Fun, as he put it.
cheers

OK SO WHAT ABOUT THIS, SWB.
What should we expect to pay $$
The body is fair, rusted out rear window frames as you expect.
4' lift.
adjustable arms and panards.
manual box.
sub lpg+ sub fuel tank
manual windows no c/lock.
air con, p/steer.
torn drivers seat, inter ok/to worn dirty etc.
In need of new tyres all round very very soon like yesterday.
has 10 mths rego.
No winch.
has spotties unknown brand.
no UHF etc or other acc known of.

So expect to pay $$$$$

The prices are all over the place i remember selling similar shorty petrols for $2500-3500 .

Not sure if someone's mentioned it, but it's suggested a degree of castor for every inch of lift - 4" lift = 4 degrees of castor correction. Pretty sure the normal castor correction bushes only go to 3 degrees which means radius arm plates (still castor correction plates) rather than bushes - from my understanding hard to get through road worthy ...

I believe they are still currently legal with an engineers certificate. They are changing the law one day if not already changed where you can forget about a 4 inch lift altogether, it just won't happen.

If its not engineered I highly recommend getting it done.

I dont really understand what all the fuss is about, It drives perfectly well on the black stuff and no sway bars f&r to boot.
4" tough dog and 45mm t/dog adjustable all round.
GQ swb as above better than old MK swb std height ever was.
Insurance company's Again, surprise surprise.

Any ideas on a particular brand drop box being easyer to be passed so-long as no cutting required obliviously.
And the young feller expects to pay for parts forgot to mention but thought that was a given.
