Well today I stopped in at Georges workshop and his brother Billy fitted up my new extended brake lines as mine really were stretched to their limits and did a brake fluid flush and my brakes have never worked better (Thanks Billy).
I have ordered my new heavy duty lower control arms from Patroldocta and should arrive Monday but while we were poking around under my car we noticed that panhard rods are next thing to get and the sooner the better.
Under full flex the whole lot moves over so much its hitting things it should not.... I have been paranoid about the lower control arms after I broke one at Tallarook and thought what would I have done if I broke one on one of the big trips in the middle on nowhere so had to get them before this trip.. nothing beats getting your car up on a hoist and having a good look around.
You spot things you never would at home with jacks and stands.
Also today when I got home I thought I would repair my air lines for my compressors and was going mad chasing an air leak..... turns out it was the head of the pump was loose and air was pumping straight past the head gasket!!!!!!
A few things to do before this trip and all to do with suspension and related gear..
P.s if you have not check your brake lines under flex and am running stock lines I advise you check them....

How much were the shockers? Thinking of doing the same with mine plus new springs too...
If you want ome set. I was told $170 a shock, $130 a damper and $240 per set (2) springs. Looking at about $1100 for a full kit. That's 2" btwAlways makes thing easier when you got a mechanic at your disposal...

I need OME springs next in 3 inch but before is all the stuff I mentioned previous!!!
Never said he was mate. Just having a dig, you know me. You... Now how much cost for your chockies?
Thought I would do an update... I have since last reported front and rear heavy duty panhards and lower control arms and got a heavy duty drag link from Daz..
I am now running a 4 inch lift with 3 inch springs and 1 inch spacers which will be swapped out for straight up 4 inch springs.. Dobinsons.
I also got OME in 4inch and love em!!!
I have played around with my compressor set up a bit lately as one of my compressors was melting any fitting I installed to the surprise of the air specialist.. so now I am running 2 small compressors with the air locker running from that.
My BFG KM2's are starting to get a bit worn so I will sell them while they still hold some value and probably get some Telstar Mud Claws ..?
Playing around also with rewiring a lot of the lights and stuff and cleaning all that stuff up so its not a bunch of spaghetti behind the dash.
I am pretty happy for the most part at the moment but there is always something hey!!

You getting ready for a Tassie trip mate?
Hello from Under Down Under!
Been looking at prices mate... spoke to a client who owns a high end resort at Eagle Peak and he was giving me an idea of cost..
This is what my car looked like when I first got it...
