Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Whew..what a day 200km drive each way and 2" higher as the result hehe.

Still have to lift the barwork, but not majorly fussed, will be done in the next few weeks.

Couple of quick snaps taken during the day, will do a full write up of how to, issues etc by end of next week.

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.

Well done Murry , Bet ya happy now that , that's all over
with , the white rims look good , how high and wide are ya now

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.

I'm glad it all went ok!

I would of come over for a squiz on saturday but i called into work all day :(

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

Yeh mate for sure....just let me know when and where! Hopefully i should have all my problems sorted out by then

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"....

Actually, your right Always make that mistake...

Stock is 225, which is what...around 27"? Now running 31"...4" overall increase in diameter, equates to 2" lift over all, so total 6.5" lift all up..

Think I got my sums right now

Have you got any matching pics from before and after just at standing hight not flexed or on uneven ground?

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.

Not knocking the Feroza's either.

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!

i think this is a better comparison:

Well i have to agrea now that is a decent amount of lift 8)

Ruff, I got some pics of it next to a stocker this morning (saw one on the way to work ). I'll post em up tonight, should give you a real nice idea.

Quite a bit of difference

my missus likes it 8)

Here we go, some comparison happy snaps between a stocker down the road (thanks to whoever owns it hehe!) and the mighty Ferwoaza

looking good there

Shiat yeah thats what i wanted to see. I bet the guy that owned the stocker if he had seen you would have been shocked

With the bars lifted to suit it would look even bigger.


Yes i must say you have impressed me now get it out there and show us some pics of it getin it not just posing

Nice one Murray. Hope to meet you out on the trails sometime soon.

I wanna find a stockie that I can park next to for comparison :(

I don't usually see too many of them and have a camera ready to take some pics at the same time :(

Come to Sydney, heaps of stockers round here

Would love to But I find it difficult to leave the missus and child for a week :(

Besides....the missus doesn't 'trust' the car as far as she could throw it

Something about - taken it out twice.....ended up back at the workshop twice But now fixed !!
