    Gotta be quick at work. My snorkel was genuine too. My bbar was an orig nissan when i bought the rig. Yours looks heaps tougher. 2 x things were done at arb. Workmanship was dissapointing. But ill see how i go personally in future. Just filled up at 4999 ks so ill tell ya me ks average shortly. Very nice unit mate. Looks great

    Cheers
    Dave

    Hi Mudski, no wobbles at all ,although i decided to fit 265x70x17 tires instead of the 285's most people fit or larger , maybe thats it , don't know , having said that , i would probably got the 285's if i had done the lift first , happy so far , and thanks , getting there , although the outside won't change much now,

    ohhh i had adjustable caster bushes fitted with the lift if that makes any diff

    My GU turned into a real dog, until I found the vacuum line to the turbo lifter was split--could be yours is simply off. Easy check
