I see you didn't leave the end caps on your rear bar. They will stay on using the top bolt and only fall off when full of mud....otherwise they stay put
Put 'em on 'cause it looks better with them on. I can't foresee you doing ANY sort of offroading in mud....unless it rains on the ashes from the bushfires....them it's not real mud...just black sh1t
What did you do about your transfer shifter length ..Looks good I have to wait till I get some more power under the hood before I can add some bigger treads, the 1.3 FI just don't have what it takes.
Rear corners will be going back on in a few days, getting a little custom bracket made up to make up for the difference.
I had to do nothing with the shifters!!! They all still work, the transfer one is a bit tight but does move okay with no touching. Over all lift would be 2.5" suspension, 2" Body and probably 3" from tyres so 7.5" lift overall...pretty good! Wheels at the front are under the guards but the rears stick out about 1 inch, bit of rubber on the arch should fix that for Mr Plod.
To do : lift barwork, longer bolts for the two rears. Just couldn't use the middle bolts were just a tad too short to use with the sleeve, so they are in there without the sleeve (plenty of washers) at the moment. Mate ran it like this for years with no prob but I will fix up for engineering. Will also extend the rear break lines for engineering, currently detached from the axle bracket, may as well do this in prep for drop shackles anyway Need to extend the vaccuum hoses under the hood and finally put some paint on a couple of spots where we redrilled for the radiator drop and busted off the two front nuts.
No worries Cam We'll have to catch up end of Jan, early Feb and go for a run somewhere, I know Heather wants to wrack your brain and check out your zook

Looks darn good - wished I'd done that to my old Feroza...
Anyways, not wanting to rain on your parade or anything, but 3" from tyres? Are you sure you aren't confusing diameter of tyres to radius? I gained 3" of tyre lift on my TJ when I moved from 29" to 35"....
I'll put some up tonight Ruff, they are all at home. My brother in law should be at home too, he has a Feroza with just 2" lift on 215s. Will park it next to that and take a snapshot
Cool that would give more of an idea to how different it looks.Sorry im not in to feroza's and it doesnt look much different to me in these pics thats all.
Hmm..these pics aint great, but both are taken from the same eye level height. Will try and get a shot next to a stocker...also note that in the original photo (the day I got the car) it already had a 2.5" suspension lift and is running 225 roadies...so it would be even smaller in stock form!
