Re: 80 series gurus answer my noob questions please.
About $220 per corner, but then price doesn't mean quality.
Wouldn't want to waste $800 plus on the wrong shocks.

Re: 80 series gurus answer my noob questions please.
Did some slight mods on Saturday and bolted the claws on for a lo range run Saturday night. Put some 1" coil spacers in front to level the car out and the claws fitted with no scrubbing, made a couple of lower shock extenders for the front shocks as they only allowed 1.5 inch down travel, they gave ...

Re: 80 series gurus answer my noob questions please.
agreed, I found that with the 60s diffs coiled in the 4 Runner and 80s RAs up front it was hard to get the suspension balanced off road, rear did most of the flexing. Was always gunna fit a rear sway bar one day to fix that. Front did flex nicely with spaced castor plates but also the RAs were ...

Re: 80 series gurus answer my noob questions please.
Thanks Milo but I want to keep road manners as best as possible, spacing the castor plates achieves several things, more flex, reset castor after lift, move diff forward a smidge if required.
Rear sway bar will stay connected and only front will get disconnects.
Cheers

Re: 80 series gurus answer my noob questions please.
I was thinking similar at the front only unpin both sides and support the sway bar out of the way.
Wont happen until suspension and axle mods are sorted first though.

Re: 80 series gurus answer my noob questions please.
Nice I was considering remote res down the track but they are BS expensive, longer shocks on modded mounts would be cheaper. New conundrum, the 1HZ is 500,000 km old but drives and sounds pretty sweet. I have a factory turbo setup available to me and would run it intercooled at about 6psi with boost ...

Re: 80 series gurus answer my noob questions please.
Thanks guys, its nearly ready for a roady tomorrow. After that I can consider suitable mods. My thoughts are, 2" lift, its a 91 so should be equivalent to 3" on post 92 models, Test on 35s, Space front castor plates to allow RAs to flex more and reset castor at same time, Sway bar dis connects for ...

Daily, Hi Country and out with the boys in the state forests occasionally. So I want to get 35s under with minimal lift and no guard cutting or body lift. Legality of tire size can be damned, they are easy to change to the smaller set and it will run 33" ATs when not in the bush. I will research the ...

Re: Coldsaw or bandsaw for home fab work
For home use a hot saw should be fine, they are noisy, messy and tend to not cut straight, but they will suffice.
A cold saw beats a hot saw hands down for speed, accuracy and noise, but they are very expensive.

Re: Arb bars only taking warn winches
Most, probably almost all, winches use the standard pattern, some have larger bodies (the Avenger Mako for example will not fit many ARB bars) so you need to be careful that any winch you buy will fit the bar.

Re: Arb bars only taking warn winches
You will find ARB bars are primarily made to fit the winches they sell, to me it seems wrong, to do that. But then why should they bother designing bars to fit winches from all around the world. They shouldn't really. There business is to supply a good bulbar, which they do that works as they ...

The larger earth pin is to prevent you plugging 15A devices into 10A circuits.
Same goes through the various 3 phase plug sets as well.

Re: To the welding gurus out there
It is an appalling excuse for welding and should never have left their factory. You should never (if you have) fitted it to your car. You should have sent it back as soon as you saw it. You should have accepted their offer of another, inspected it before taking it and that is that simple really. For ...
