Did one of these runs in April - I think around Ormeau, really enjoyed it.

Count me for this one.

there is a fair bit involved in lifting the suspension 4" correctly . Slip Yoke Eliminator Rear Drive Shaft Springs Shocks Arms Lower Arms Adjustable upper Panhards Front and Rear Brake Line Front and Rear Rear Shock Relocation brackets Extented/Removable Swaybar links Front and Rear. get onto www ...

Thanks for a great run - we should have handed our sheet in as well, we had 70 points from the first two stages. What time did you end up getting home stinger? - BTW i gave your two way back to your missus. I don't think anyone drove CP3 once the official left :) Well setup and thanks to the ...

About to do a body lift on a landcruiser ute, anything that i need to watch out for?

-brake lines
-radiator
-steering
-fuel filler
-handbrake....etc


What diameter body blocks have people been using?

thanks in advance Mat

www.rubiconexpress.com.au - these kits are considered to be rolls royce of suspension systems.

flexiglass do new basic alloy tray for 780$ fitted inc side and headboard.

are you looking at carrying 1 or 2 spares? if only carrying 1 you won't want directional tyres... I have a set of 33" claws and are smaller than the 33" BFG muds (had them), try a set and see if they fit. Because of the claws tractor type pattern they tend to slew a little. MTR's are a good touring ...

i own a jeep and am very happy with it - getting parts is not a problem in the city. depending on the type of travelling you are interested in doing getting jeep parts to remote locations can prove difficult. for the weekend camping and over night trips almost any four wheel drive is fine. just a ...

superchargers do offer smoother power early in the rev range - also they offer either a constant or exponential boosting, also they do not complicate the exhaust system as a turbo. from what i understand they are various complications applying a turbo to engines larger than 3.0L and generally better ...

31x15.5 ???

you need to buy a speedo adjustment gearset

www.rubiconexpress.com.au these guys stock these.

255/70 15R - this is an oddball size works out to be about 29x10x15.
You could however buy this truck new with an "offroad" wheel pack giving you 31x10.5x15.

13L/100kms that is good - i get about 15L/100kms

8000lb winch is perfect not too heavy you could also upgrade to plasma rope to further reduce weight - on a lowmount you need to be careful of the winch drum heating the rope.

the owner of the is company (Robbie) lives across the road from me he is very professional to deal with and his employees know superchargers and turbo system very very well.

i am currently speaking with him to supercharge my jeep.

a d/c drive shaft allows smoother operation than a regular shaft - also the d/c has a longer operating life due to lesser operating angles generally used for very short drive lines. (wrangler, SWB patrol etc.) i have a d/c driveshaft in the rear of my jeep and am very happy with it smoother than ...

4" suspension and 1" bodylift, 35" will fit no problems


Mat

i have a set of MTRs on my hilux excellent touring tyre with a little appeal "hardcore" 4x4ing i run baja radials (noiser) on my jeep for more serious off roading - a lot better traction in mud and general dirt. i have also had bfg mud terrains these are also an excellent tyre somewhat between the ...

i agree with greenhilux - i have a hilux with a 2" body lift and a 2" suspension lift 1500$ for suspension (ARB) and 700$ for body lift.

this truck runs 33x12.5 BFG muds with no scrubbing - 15x8 rim, neg21mm offset.

extend the length of the springs - gives you good flex and height.

a friend of mine had them both - in front of rear wheel and behind rear wheel on a patrol ute - he removed the rear ones because they hit too much. he was doing medium/hard level touring.

Mat

depends what you want to do - touring or more interested in getting the most ability out of the car.

I have OME gear in my hilux for touring and it works well (no fade over rough roads) - too much flex makes the vehicle unstable at speed.

Mat

Any given point in the middle third of the cable length in tension.

call Suburban 4x4...arr (also from ausjeepoffroad.com) or hammonds 4x4, these guys commonly deal with lifts greater than 2". they sell both ARB and rubicon equipment.

Mat

ps - sorry about the Clayton...

thanks - i just ordered some radials claws keen to try something different. i'll ket you know how they go.

Mat

Ps - the reduction in tire life - what is your experience?

interested in changing to radial claws (33x12.5) from BFG muds same size - keen to hear about experiences between the 2 tyres.

I am a little concerned about the lateral traction of the claws - as the tyres are being mounted to a jeep wrangler; short wheel base problems.

thanks

3.5" lift is a good starting point - SYE not required reasonable articulation and relatively cheap. - Rubicon Express do an excellent kit. Don't be tricked into anything else. This allows fitting of up to 33" tyres - but best suited (visually) to 32's. Once the lift increases to 4" a SYE is required ...

powerchipped V6 hilux above.

powerchipped Hilux 305nm
dtronic hilux turbo diesel 365nm

petrol may be quick off the mark but choke with big tires, trailers and weight.

Put this gear behind a diesel you won't ever know its there,

Best friend has a v6 4 runner (manual) it pushes 32 muds easily. keep away from the commodore engines - cannot handle water and overheat at low revs. - for a touring car as close to standard is best for reliability.
