Phase 1 complete..

[Antshiel]

Went to Tony's yesterday to have the body lift done. Cheers Tony, looks awesome. It was quite a straight forward project as spoken by the man himself. The right hand trucks have the steering shaft bolt right next to the exhaust manifold and clatters upon start up. This was overcome with Tony's tiny hands reaching in with a powerfile and removing the totally pointless (me hopes) chunk of metal on the side of the manifold to down pipe joint. Then in went the spacer, no need to chop and weld the shaft. So next week i'm doing the suspension lift and having 285/75/16 BFG at's fitted so should be quite a radical change to how it looked yesterday morning. Whan all is complete i will post pics of before during and after. Roll on next week and again, THANKS TONY!!!

Nah, i'm going for a muddy brown finish, it's free.
The trucks going up another 60mm with the TJM kit so with the saggy arse that'll prob equate to about 75 - 85mm. I would have done the suspension today but i ended taking the front end appart again this morning cos some tw@t pulled out in front of me on the way home last night and pushed my nudge bars back into the bumper. When we stopped he came over and couldn't stop appologising, insisting it was his fault, who am i to argue!. Anyway all sorted now and doing the rest at weekend!!!

Hi Tony, just a quick update, cut the trans tunnel today to stop the rattle on start up works a treat now and the gear selector is also adjusted, easier than i thought, just moved it 5mm back and works perfect, Thanks for doin it for me matey, it's much appreciated.
