Hmmm...
Id like to see how long the Idler arm in the poxy IFS steering holds up to a 44.

I've seen it dirty b4 but never being driven, I thought they were smaller than 44's, I think they are Ground Hawgs aren't they??

Yeah they looked like 40 inch ground hawgs to me yesterday when we drove past on the highway....for 500 bucks why the hell wouldn't they throw a SAS under there

Ummm yeah ??? They're a 4wd modification workshop..... 200 for the front axle, they've got the steering box right there already, tie rod/drag link wouldn't cost $hit, shocks $200 for NEW ones, cheaper for second handies, shock mounts out of scrap/cheap as chips plate/pipe, and 100 to get the shaft lengthened or they could make up a spacer for f&%k all. Some rear springs might set them back 50 bucks or whatever.

i don't see the problem !!

Nor did i before you did your surf.

Lets not go there.... if i had of listened to you and others and put leaves under it in the first place i would have been wheeling it for 2 years now. And dayum i'd have much less debt to worry about !!

Now you know why i went

But i just hope we learn from our mistakes i know i have. I would never have touched my dual cab if i had planned to be where i am now with it. It prob owes me around 30Grand+ and i could build it now for around 10.

Ken oath dude... i'm with you all the way. Unfortunatly us young guys tend to not listen to those who obviously know better than us and insist on doing things our own way. I've learnt the hard way but i've definatly learned, the rangie is gonna be kept simple as and very low !!

Out of interest mate did you get the 3.9 running well or are you still having timing issues ?

Yeah its Fine Tom the Vac Advance was RS. I just need to replace it.

Ive seen this ute(4WD Heaven Hilux)close up and the tyres are 44/18.5/15's on what looks like 15x12in alloy rims.
I spoke to the guy in there and its powered by a 308 backed with a T700 4 speed trans and is for sale for around 26 large as is or 20 no wheels.Mav
