Getting Bigger :):):) (New pics)

Post by PajeroSRV »

Hey All,

We'll its finally happened. Hanging around a bunch of Toyota Driving *&46wits has had its effect. I am now the proud owner of a set of Extreme Trekkers @ 35.5 inches.

They are on!!! :)

Installation Steps:

- Remove plastic inner guards
- Torsion bars wound up. Approx 1.5 inches.
- Cut front wheel arches out by approx 2 inches on back and front. Work off the top arc and aim for a 2 inch extension at each end.
- Cut out metal under headlights and beat back with mallett as far as possible.
- Bash back metal ridge on the back of the inner arch (near footwell) as far as possible (be gentle!)
- Cover cut metal with rust retardant and paint.
- Add set of flexy flares. (Front & back - about $120)
- Add rear spring packers @30mm. (Cruiser spring packers from Pro-comp @ $80)
- Put tyres on and drive around with a huge grin on your face :D

Job done. Pics below.

(Recommendation: Get a set of rock crawler gears before even dreaming of putting these tyres on. Otherwise you'll be a rocket sled downhill. We've taken it for a spin in low range with the 35's & crawlers and its ok.)

Go Paj :armsup:

Thanks guys.

Power is fine, can still take off in second gear. But as expected, no torque. Don't expect to keep up with any cars with 308's in em.

Hey mate,
Have you wound the torsion bars all the way up until they hit the bump stops?
How does this effect ride?

Ok to answer the questions.

Tim - No, but I don't imagine the traction will be too different to the mongrels.

J-top - no problems with travel....due to guard love :)

NC - No, too bloody hard.


Car is currently sitting on the sidelines a bit disabled due to a broken hub. Also need to do the rear bearings.

Now, I have searched HIGH & LOW for a fricking Aisin manual hub and nobody (and I mean nobody) that I have gotten onto has them. I have called over 30 wreckers and recyclers from melbourne to Frankston to Ballarat.

If anyone knows where I can get a set, shout the fawk out :D

(Don't want another set of avm's).
