ahh yes cheap (read $20 each or so ) we got a quote today for $65 each,
but the fella didnt know what offset we need and ive got no idea as i own a patrol . we were hoping to pick up something at the wreckers as they are only 20 each

this weeks project: putting 32s under my mates sierra
hey there , we cant seem to find any cheap f100 rims on the central coast
is there another ford rim in 15x8 that would be suitable or any other rim that will get us going for now . yes we have searched but f100 rims are the only answer we can ...

i went gu front mate ,you get bigger,better brakes as well as stronger cv,s
and more stability from wider wheel track.

mine are cut 16 mm shorter but could go 20 mm shorter than standard
hope this helps ya

nice work. are u going to put a bit of pipe or similar around the drain bung?

220 seems a bit steep for the kit in my opinion. think i might see what i can make along the same lines..

also do i need to remove centre (with locker) or drop oil to weld it on?? or leave all in??
thanks for the info ...

you will find it very hard to get 35s engineered unless you upgrade to a front gu diff so you have bigger brakes to pass braking test
and even then it wont be easy !
fix the brake proportioning valve bracket too !
prices from 900-1500 depends who you use

cheers

has anybody else put spacers in and if so does the spring sit on an angle
now ?? how does it drive ?? im at the stage either pull it all apart again and remove spacers , or .......put it together as is and see how it drives
i guess . it still got me thinking WHY is it so far forward ?

cheers
daz ...

try seldom seen vehicles in picton they do this kind of work on a regular basis

350
just shorten your gearstick mate if you really need a faster gear change
cheers
daz

after looking at a mates with custom arms the spring is also on roughly the same angle and drives ok too but im still sceptical at this stage

mattlux wrote:Are the offset caster bushes offset all the way to the front. Looks like in the pic that the bushes are offset all the way facing forward.

no mate more or less they are towards the bottom they were pressed in as per the diagram/template and are the same as my others and the ones we pressed out !

well if its to far forward cant you just get the gq arms and try them.
or give somebody like mick at superior a ring or even shane at suspension stuff and ask em. they will be able to give a straight out answer.
but im also under the impression they are both the same. they are definately standard ...

made this from 40 x 10 flat bar ,a dolley and big copper hammer

ok the wreckers gave me a gq steer box then, i would appreciate some comments regarding the diff sitting fwd like it is i kind of like the increase in approach angle and guard clearance but im thinking its too far forward
and the spring is gunna want to bind up or pop out ! what do ya all think ...
