How to increase departure angles?

Post by **Nev62** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 11:12 pm

Has anyone increased the departure angle on a 60 or 80 series? Without bobing the rear, how much of the lower rear quater can be removed and is it leagle? Pics?

The legality thing.... Hmmm.... so long as you dont impact crash compatibility (eg mount no bumper or mount the bumper really high) then you should be ok.

As far as I know there's no ADR's about how long panels have to be

So long as it's well sealed so fumes can't get in you should be right for legality.

The obvious thing is new mudflaps and mounts.

Most of us have issues about taillight height and bumper height when we jack the 4wd up a bit anyway. The guidelines in the ADR allow a fair amount of leeway though.

I started a couple of threads in the Toyota section about cutting quarters and mounting tow packs above chassis rather than have it hanging below...
