What about the 4wd systems one http://www.4wdsystems.com.au/html/swc.htm

Looks like a copy of the toyota factory mount offered in pretty much every market except australia. I think there is a good reason why it wan't offered here - toyota will have figured that in our conditions, the load on the body/door is excessive.

I've never confirmed this, but I reckon cars ...

Gday all just need some opinions on this wheel carrier as I'm am after one that dosent cost a fortune and this is for $550

Has anyone every used this stile, Are they strong and will it handle a bigger tyre like a 285/75/16 for an 80 series

Put a FORD motor in it at least it will then have some grunt

dont you have to keep the panhard and steering arm at the same angle? So it really has to stay on that sharp angle...correct :? ?

It handles a heaps load better after its wheel alignment. But still not 100%
And yep my rear steering arm hits the radius arms on some turns.

Would flippin my radius ...

I have done my caster correction that's not the problem.
It is that the angel that the tail shafts are on due to the gearbox is now higher than the diffs and the front and rear tailshafts are kind of binding up so i need to drop the box

Hi. My missus used to work for ford when the ba came out and some of them got a musty smell problem too. Apparently it was some kind of bacteria problem and they would spray a can of aerosol stuff through the system to fix it.

Just the right amount of softness in the springs for down travel off road but not too much to overly affect road ride. Have now found a well priced lift set up at ...

Thanks Steve
