Did you not see post 4 in this thread ?

OME dont make a 4" lift shock, they do an "L" shock

The gearbox x member is in a different spot on the chassis, manual to auto, so may require some work to be done to get it to fit.

Making some nice changes to the 4 sp will make it a nicer vehicle to drive, for less money, and save a conversion.

http://www.lcool.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; tech section has a nice write up for factory turbo pump mods, if it has a good exhaust, add intercooler, follow the tech sheet, add 3/4 turn to main fuel, if its in std spot, and you should be more than happy.

If its a 1 ...

Dont even consider foam cell shocks for that type of thing. Once you overheat them and the cells break down the shock is then shot. Foam cell shocks are such as Tough Dog, Rancho etc. I can trash Rancho within 25mins on a corrugated road.

If you get a regular twin shell shock then when they ...

We work on 30mm bump stop crush, and normally, you set a vehicle up for handling using a 1/3 up and 2/3 down rule of thumb.

Interesting you have chosen some of the not so good performers in that price bracket.

As 1mad has suggested, plus high gas pressure, the roads your travelling arent that rough these days, and have ttotled along on those recent years with 4"lifted 80 at 160+ using the Ridepro Rox, with our slinky ...

^What he said ^

Fit the switch!

Nothing to worry about, its a built in safety, and comes in at least 30 deg C before its really becoming an issue.

Next time, use the right set of gears,a nd lower the air pressure in the tyres.

We have Snap ons here at work, in cordless, great tool, and always the preference over the Snap On air operated guns we had from before the 18v rattle guns came out.

If they are green under where the batteries are, they will also take the later better batteries coming soon.

work harder !

We extend the dog bones, 3mm tops, or they wont fit properly, and we use different linings on the hand brake shoes to improve them.

Still not a patrol hand brake, but improves them by 50%.

Any cruiser inside brake drum hand brake that adjusts and holds on a standard engine car that wont drive away ...

AVO have them available.

They arent worse, and normally, hwy at least 10% better on fuel economy.

Awesome engine to turbo and intercool.

Having been using LED light bars of late, and HID headlights, the driving light makers must be getting nervous about new releases these days and tooling up.

Though lets see how long before its coming from someone else looking similar.

I love those LED light bars (Rigid Industries?) but the price ...

Stick with the 4.5 and boost it, you will find it will make plenty of power and torque, without conversion headaches.

I havent found a remote trip in mine an issue, with 185 lt rear tank and std front 90 lt, and could add a 145lt front if I needed more for a canning trip, or similar, I have done ...

coilovers.

I used CAPA charger on my 80 with 4.5 motor, and I used a Safari air to air intercooler for a 1hdt front mount.

Having had both turbo and supercharged 80 series 4.5's turbo would be be my choice, especially for dual fuel, though vapour injection would be better than a suck through system for lpg ...

Our Slinky long travel kits we use an alloy spacer and longer bolts, or 80 front compression rubbers in a new housing.

How many "good car at what ever the cost" manufacturers use water to air ?

How many UAE aftermarket tuning houses use water to air for high ambient temps ? [where cost isnt the main consideration]

The true test, intake temp measurements pre and post for each set up [and not just for a 3 up power ...

We have done many AHC Sahara's but the ideal is 40mm, with the factory AHC shocks so as not to top them out often.

Remember it self levels so a coil sprung truck with 150kg + gear isnt going to be exactly 50mm lift any longer either, so 40mm works out ok.

Its a little complicated in the process ...

One thing that seems to be common in this thread, is wanting the response and stock on shelf of a big well run company, overstaffed, with call centres taking your call within 3 rings etc, whilst wanting the overhead margins tacked on pricing of a small after hours run from the garage operation.

For ...

The adjustment is only rebound, not compresion.

water to air, the size it would need to be to outperform a good air to air wouldnt fit under the bonnet......

We have done afew cc4x4 cruiser 1hdt units, and the product seems to be ok.

We have a customer who has over 400k km on his and tows a 3.2 tonne trailer on the back every day for work.

Apart from the usual timing belt, injector lines, and ball joints in lower arms, we have done a secont Bilstein Platinum suspension package in this car after the first one finally wore out at ...

step 1 - amount of travel required from shock when suspension configuration completed to make shock mounts.

step 2 - work out the mounts required

step 3 - measure the required collapsed and and extended length for our new shocks taking into account tyre size and any rubbing uissues with tyres in ...

We tried running up to 60 psi in them but sh1t still got in past the bead, and would make them go flat.

I wouldnt cll them a "beadlock" as they dont lock the bead, just to run more PSI in that part of the tyre to help keep the bead in place.

The last 2 sets we have fitted up for others have had ...

I run the Raceline Monster beadlocks on my KOH car. My understanding is that they are not released in Aus yet, but soon will be - not sure if it will be through Allied Aus, or if they are even related to Allied USA.

In terms of Autocraft, my buggy weighs a bit more than half yours, so yes, my use ...

Would be nice to know what you are driving?

ARB OME's come in 'L' series for about $160 each

Not the ideal set up for the $, as the valving just seems to always make the vehicle drive like a standard car, with the extra weight and you could do better for the money or a little more ...

I had the raceline beadlocks in 17 x 10 running 37's and 39.5's and had no end of trouble with deformed steel rings, and broken bolts, even L9 bolts were requiring replacement often.

We looked at alloy rings that Allied [US] were going to supply, but I went to Robby Gordon Beadlocks and L9 bolts ...

Pre Aug 93 is ok, if they came with 15's, once FZJ version hit the streets they came with bigger brakes, and the rear calipers stop 15's fitting.

Pro Comp will probably have some in stock, and I looked at Convo Pro's a while ago, for a polished alloy easy to look after finish, rather than silver or ...
