Couple of questions!

Why do you make your own axle opposed to using a patrol or cruiser axle,

and how does it go engineering in relation to queenslands laws.

Also you forgot to smudge out the plates on some of the photos.

a) This is a passenger side drop in the current model hilux, so had to either flip a standard axle, which is shoddy in my opinon

b) Engineering is very simple, my engineer was very happy with doing this have done many other sas's before coil & leaf.

c) I know, thanks

Great job!

What size tyres are those MTZ's and how much clearance at the top of the guard is there?
