Lol, new truck!? Its in a thousand pieces now basically chassis and cab is all thats left. I will get down workshop around midday as I have a few things to do in the morning.

Ah,yes..........but slowly,and surely, with the unsurpassed talent that lies within that unit...............it shall be reborn,like a triumphant Phoenix,in a blaze of V8 glory.
i've got to hunt out some more box section for you guys,must remember that.
so what time would you recommend i turn up? bout 2?

[surfenstein]

Yea around that time will be fine. Did you want me to have a look at that detent switch .

yes,please,mark.have not driven it for a while,it was giving me the hump.
anyway,on a good note,went back to work today,and the lads in the design and CAD office,had done me proud.

the camera angle is a bit odd,but it all lines up.i have a new drawing and CAD and zip files on the flash drive. i wont say what alterations where made, i think i'll keep that till saturday.
after all, the copyright and intellectual rights of the design belong to Over fabrication,and we wouldn't want every one to have them,would we?

[surfenstein]

lmao, i don't think paper spacers will catch on.......or will they.

[surfenstein]

I read on Facebook that Mike is after some 3rd gen spring spacers. Is that correct?

[scott-lee]

i believe so,i cant find any drawings,so far.

My ears were burning!!

Wotcha Mark and Scott, I am indeed looking for a set of 1" spacers for the old girl but I need the fronts and rears to keep her level. It's got +2" springs on it but they're a little bit sad from all the building gear it used to carry and could do with perking up a bit (plus I'm going to get some extended shockers) so if anyone's got some spacers or knows diamensions any help would be gratefully accepted.

thanks for trying,ian.
if i had some springs,i pretty sure i could work it out.

[surfenstein]

Same as a colorado lift kit. We made some at outrageous and use to sell them on e bay.but they were 2". Let me see if I can find the drawings.

I have a recollection that the front springs from an 80 series are the same as the rears on a gen3 ( think the USA boys use em for a 3" lift) dunno if that's something I should be looking at instead?

Yea the fj80 springs.only thing with that is you need a diff drop kit aswell,

[surfenstein]

Mike FJ Cruiser rear coils are the way to go they give 1.5" of lift and bolt straight in.

Cheers Mark,

Interesting read that..so should I go for a drag racer stance then to save my CVs and sanity or do I invest in a diff drop and level the front (manual hubs are a no go for me I'm far too lazy to get out and engage them )
