how good was my 7 year later post! only saw the date after i posted..haha fairly funny
they make a difference..handles SO much better.. (for mine anyway..2" lift, 33's, roofrack, bar work etc)

castor corrected front radius arms will fit def 90/110/130 and disco 1 cranked rear radius arms or trailing arms will fit def90/110/130 and disco 1 also i just got some rear ones and starting putting them in this arvo..but unfortunatly 4.5K worth of tools was stolen out of my work car on tuesday ...

it has a serpentine belt..my budget is to limited as i just want an alternator to do the trick..maybe one with more overkill ..
gets used camping heaps so fridge, stereo and thermo fans are the main killers atm..

Hi everyone..has anybody had a crack at making custom rear bars for disco's? or know anyone who makes them in melbourne? im thinkin about having a crack at making one..if anyone has pics of their custom rear bars could you please post up some pics?! thanks

yes a cut guards with flares will be the trick and look nice..but there $500..or $1100 fitted.. flares will come next after the lift cos ive cut the rear quater already to help cope with 33's ..waitin on the lift to work out my bars and rear quarter so i know where i want to cut back the rear flares ...
