The fitter whoever it is isn't much chop if they will let a job out the door without at least suggesting action by the owner. FFS I thought it was rule 101 to check that springs are retained.

Evan why don't you use the adjustables that are available for the solid lifters? I think Real Steel sell them. Failing that you could skim the pedestals.

Holley's are OK with a couple of minor mods, namely a 350 with a vent tube extension and mounted back to front works fine.

The Pro locker also uses a one piece cross shaft (better & stronger), whereas the ARB has a three piece design. The actuating cage cage inside the ARB's hemispere is plastic and cracks with time, they are cheap but require a complete strip down to replace. The Pro Lockers has hardened steel posts ...

Bump stops & axles

G'day all,
Quick questions, What is the standard bump stop clearance for a stock 2 door Rangie?
Will disco axles and cv's fit into an 85 front housing or do the stub axles need to be changed?

You will need very long breaker bars and have a good idea of what the correct preload feels like. If you dont get the preload correct a diff can be lunched fairly quickly.
If you're not confident in your abilities get a diff joint to do it for you, it's not expensive.

Go for Hytuff 24 spline axles & ARB Locker or wait until TJM's pro locker for Rover's appears.
I bought a rear Maxidrive setup through Fred Smithl just before Christmas and it cost me $1950.

Chipguard

Ive just bought and used some chipguard called Tex Coat 4313. The Body shop sell it for $15 a spray can (only did a small area).
Gives a good hard textured finnish with only a couple of light coats. Looks the shiz

Fridge

40 litre Engel, just love it.
I was doing tours through the NT with 2 Waeco 110 litre units, they work fine as long as you can put up with the catches breaking continuously, the lids warping and the occasional thermostat failure.
