[mick p]

Looks good Rod. How did it go. Tell me all the details/costs. I fancy doing mine. Also get the pics up soon, maybe some underneath shots.

[BEAST]

Yeah good job there m8. Couple of questions though.
1. Is it dirty enough?
2. Wot have u done with the handbrake cable guides?
3. Did u use drop brackets for ur anti roll bars?

P.S. I still got skinnies on mine, but should be fitting my new wheels and tyres this weekend hopefully.

i cant wait to get them on! Finishes it off an puts the proportions back. It looks like a giant roller skate atm!

those wheels and tyres will be up for sale soon(ish) so im sure if i find a buyer for the wheels then you can make me an offer on the tyres mate

Cheers mate! Im going to be doing a bit more of a 'photoshoot' soon.

Costs were um... well not cheap!

Its a 1.5" body lift - did at my uncles, gave my cousin £40 for helping out, Had to cut and add bits to the winch bumper 'cradle' to close the gap after the lift. Went quite well!

The suspension is tweaked torsion bars and ball joint spacers, 2" coil spacers and +2" coils from roughtrax. then its topped off with some ES9000's front an back an some goodridge extended brake lines. Also fitted is bushwhackers kit, so the front an rear ARB's are still fitted.

I had a local garage fit the suspension components so i got a tasty bill!!

Wasnt cheap - never expected it to be! I have recepits for everything so im going to add it all up an then hang myself

you should see the other side mate! plastered in mud!

Handbrake cable guides seemed ok with the 1.5" lift - its strange! my air con pipes wouldve fallen off with a 2" lift. Im glad i went 1.5"!!
An yeah, vinces drop bracket on the rear an the 4crawler one on the front

Forgot to add - it has a diff drop so the cvs arnt at crazy angles!

[BEAST]

I removed my handbrake cable guides so they dont get pulled when off road and i have also removed both front and rear ARB's. No ARB's on road makes some people sea sick, but offroad produces awesome performance for the axle twisters!!
So when ya fitting ur 33's?

[Growler]

Looks Good Rod, Can't wait to get mine done now.

Just waiting on tonyN to sort me out.
