The Big Wales Run - Part Dau

[plumb bob]

clive,iwould very seriously consider getting extended brake hoses as well,as the chance of ripping them/stretching them will increase with a lift.
i have to pick mark up on the way,but if we are early enough we can both muck in as well.

Thanks Graham, I'll look into that, I see they sell a three pack at r/trax, so do I need three per wheel or what.

It'll be like the pit lane at silverstne.

hi clive.

no mate just buy the three pack,one for each front wheel and the long one for over the axle(talk about leaving it till the last minute mate)

Yeah, just spoke to r/trax and got that info, You know me Gra, like to leave it late, We'll be spannerin' until beer o'clock at the camp site

Well, the lift kit and the springs turned up from milners yesterday PM, good service I thought ( hopefully they're the right ones) I got the L/C 80 springs, so I'll bring them to Wales.

I may have to order the gear shift extensions from 4 Crawler, as they just screw on the top of the sticks, and so no cutting/welding is needed. ( Is this really nessecary, does 2" less on the gear sticks make a difference)

i haven't adjusted the gear levers on mine Bob and i got a 2" lift.Once the lift has been done you may just need to cut a bit out the hole where the lever comes thru but i would'nt of thought you would need to on a 1.5" b/lift

Word of warning on this - Richard has a 3.0 - when mine was done, there was no need to cut anything to allow travel of the transfer lever, but on the 2.4, I needed to cut a big slot for it to go into.

Check yours, I'll bring some metal cutters along just in case.....

[plumb bob]

Thanks Andy ( nice new Avata BTW, When did you have the portrait done?)

[hiroler]

mine look like its had an extension welded on to the shift it keeps the shift leaver at the stock hight else it just looks a bit odd all sunken in to the gator! mine was a 3" lift.

[plumb bob]

Mines only half that, so I should be ok ( hopefully)

Although I might have to get Harley a ramp or sommat, once the rear goes up another 3"

[hiroler]

dont joke i have a ramp for my St Bernard it becomes bit hard to lift her up not good for her dodgy hips

[nero279]

don't forget bob's is manual (it is isn't it?), the majority of us only need to change gear once a journey - i'd be tempted by the extensions i think.

[plumb bob]

Aye, mines a manual, and the extensions are about £25 per pair + shipping, which does seem dear for a couple of bits of metal, but it saves cutting and welding the sticks, which is better for doing it whilst camping.

I'm only going 1 1/2" body lift, and 3" suspension, at the rear, and I,m not sure about the front until I see how it looks, and will probably put BJ spacers on within the next couple of months anyway.
