thanks jessie...


so, no one in sydney knows of any good panel beaters ay

no i rather someone who knows what they are doing does it, seeing as its in mint condition and has never had a scratch on it before this. photo doesnt really show it that much but that side is pushed in, and if you look at the car from front on its lop sided on that side http://i30.photobucket.com ...

need panel beater. the front of my 45 series cruiser is dented in and cant find a good panel beater who will do it??

any suggestions

gday mate, if youve got one ill take it. if you can get back to me today all drive down to the gong tonight. how much u want for it.
cheers

bent my current one, and no one seems to have them to sell, what other shafts would be the same fit as the hj47 for the rear. does a fj45 fit or a 75 series shaft fit??

thanks

what work would need to be done to fit 2inch lifted 60s leafs onto a 47 series ute.

extended skackles?

cheers

Car is 1982 bj42 cruiser. And as title says, im stuck in low range. But, the stick still moves around, so even if the stick is in h4 or h2 its still in low range, even if the stick is halfway between the gears then its still in low range.

Can anyone help me out, cheers.

I have a BJ42, the 3b has problems, looking for a new motor.

What other motors would fit in without much work needed.

would a 2H work?

looks like you got some pretty cool front flex there

im now inspired to get off my ass and start thinking about this again

hmmm team SpEcIaL drives a hard bargain!!

mmmmm spring over on 60's flat springs...

but on a DD..... hmm its a tough call.

but dumbdAnce will you spring me over for the once off price of $00000000000

pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeee...

Looks to me like you know all about it and are pretty right about most of the things you said, although i dont know about the tailshaft lengths and whether you will need a new one. Its worth looking into though.

cheers

its not worth it, 40's springs are alot shorter than a 60's spring and it would be pointless doing it,

also if its from a 77 model, the bushing size is different from ur 85 60 series, so it wouldnt fit...

but dont do it, you'll be better off with the springs you have now

cheers

ok sounds good everyone, looks like it should work alright...

ill have a go and see what it turns out like

cheers every1 that posted

my model is an 82 BJ42 so by the looks of it it'll be fine

ok ill consider all of these things and keep youse posted!!

cheers everyone

anyone got anymore tips or advice??

cheers

haha yer i agree its fun lifting wheels

have you done a shackle reversal on your's wicked.

what the pro's and cons of it????

cheers

but is it worth putting the springs in the front as well,

and also what are everyone's opinions on shackle reversal

haha wicked you must have an orsm setup, i was just looking through your members, and half of the pics are of you with a wheel up haha

nah ill stick with the 60's springs as they are FREE, rather than me fork out some dollars to get 75's

DIRTY ROCK STAR wrote:mate just give ben a PM hes pretty helpful.

if i were you, i wouldnt worry about 60 springs... buy 60 diffs and get the springs, brakes and the extra width all in 1 hit!!!!!

i wish i had....

but im getting the springs for free so all im paying for is the labour if i have to pay anyone to do it

WICKED on this board has had some major mods done to his suspension on the 40.. I wonder if he'd mind sharing the specifics of these mods on here? I vaguely remember something about 75 series gear and a rear hanger reversal too.. C'mon WICKED fess up!! yeh i know the whole deal with reversed ...

1) im considering a 60's springs conversion, unsure of whether to do just the rear or do back and front. Also to add i have a bent front leaf from an inverted shackle. what are your thoughts?? 2) also considering a shackle reversal, is this really worth it, i've heard rumours of bad road handling ...

yeah myh pump is leaking as well, watch out for fluid leaking into the altenator as the pump as most probably right on top of it, this happened to me and it stuffed the inside of the altenator and the battery wasnt charging, and your car wont start

yea i run 2 in susp lift with 33's, on road it never scrubs

off road... rarely... only on max flex it just hits the front guard

but overall.... im pretty pleased with how high it is and choice of tyres and all that.... i think its a good setup.

this wasnt in a zook... but i broke an engine mount so we just wrapped copper wire round it and reinforced it with cable ties...

... also drove around on this for like 3 months after that, and the bodgy job was still in fine working order when i replaced the mount.

if you got a bit a cash, then you could take some leaves out and go a track bar, or even replace springs with 60's springs, this would increase flex alot... m alot of good tech in this thread, check out tojo's setup, although he is spua he's got some wicked flex. just look around for info, ih8mud ...

take a look at Daz's members thread, he has some custom flares

dude you'll have to post the pic yourself for it to work.
i searched for it a minute ago as well, i immediately thought of that photo looking at this thread!

thanks for the pics tojo. just another thing though. putting 60s springs in you truck will move your diff back, how much will it move back, its around 150mm i think is it, and is this with or without rotated hangers. So.... if your diff has been moved back then if im right, to put your shockies back ...
