Meldge and V8 Middys chatting... Mailbox getting full...

Post by Meldge »

I was told that I would get 50mm lift - over standard. My standards must have sagged about 50mm.

As with springs, 35s and Body Lift, the bonnet, near windscreen almost comes to my underarm, and I am over 6' tall...

If it then scrapes there, it will get modified some more... It will be a good stance with the 60 series diffs.

I am also thinking about cutting a few hundred mm off the ends of my front bar, and adding Scrub Bar sort of things up in line with the guards, only to protect the guards, but give that little bit more clearance...

This all started in the for sale section:

Sorry to jump in V8 Middy, but the Middy drivers should stick together...

If your selling all of this stuff, then what is currently in your car...?

86' Landcruiser - MWB Soft Top





After searching long and hard, decided to get the OME springs. The slaesman talked me into getting the emu Dakar so paid for them, then they only had the true OME in stock for the rears so they're at the back and Dakar at the front. Nitrocharger shocks as well. (Didn't you go the emu dakar option Meldge?)

I pick it up on Friday and hopefully on Sat, I'll throw on some Procomp X-Terrains. Gotta ring around to get an engineer involved tomorrow to ensure 35x12.5's can be engineered. Still a little uncertain about 35's too, coming up from 31's. The look huge but everyone says if I don't I'll regret it.

I just need to test what is going to rub where depending on rims. I'll post pics for sure when its all done. In the meantime, I'm tipping someone is going to say somethign about this discussion going in the for sale section so PM me or something.






True about the discussion - Post it in toyota or something dude, see what other middy owners come out.

On the biggest offset sunrasias i could get, dakar in front with nitrochargers, they 35 MTRS (did you go for them?) scrape on the leaves on lock, 60 series diffs will change that though...

I could also post pics and stuff, for changes I am thinking about making.
