engineering certifacate on a BJ 42

Post by **WICKED** » Sat May 03, 2003 11:39 am

now i know i will sound dumb but here i go any way.

Can i get a engineering certifacate for a axel underspring conversion on a BJ 42 Land Cruiser or is it totally againist the law.

Or SOA (Spring Over Axle)

Some say you can and some say you cant, i think you would be best to talk to an approved 4WD engineering workshop and see what they say!

I think it would be possible as i am looking at all the IFS to live axle conversions been done today!

Now some say when you do a Surf/4 runner from ifs to solid front end they can get it approved because hilux came out with solid axle in most models, however i havn't seen a feroza with a factory solid front end! This is why i think you could!

Also if you can get a 3 link approved for a hilux than i don't see why not!

This is the way i see things but i am probably wrong!

well, you're right about the feroza thing..

as besty has hilux running gear & suspension, he got it engineered with SOA as the hilux is standard that way.

theres a mob called calabah industries and they do a air bag suspension and coil spring suspension kits for the 40's an 75 series landcruiser Grimace are on the web some where if you do a search i thnk the kits are around 5,000 to 7,000 and enginered.
