Well set up rig mate good work. I replaced the hooks in the tub with an m8 eylet from bunnings, much stronger when you pull the bike down.

Cheers Mate
Never thought of putting eye bolts there

Also your worried about the bodylift can this be mod plated in your state?, remember the extended shackles are illegal.

 

[Jonesyy]

Im in WA and not to keen of getting a mod plate as that involves someone else driving my car around witches hats at 100km/ph and if they roll it i lose my car as no insurance will cover it
as for the extended shackels i know there illegal but i never get hasseled about them and insurance dont care about them, with the body lif it would put a total of 7inchs from standard hight

 

[happy john]

Fair enough mate I am not a fan of bodylifts either. I only have a basic 2inch efs and never have clearance issues. Get the chassis up I say you should be able to walk through anything as it is mate again good work.

Cheers John been a project for 2 years now and having trouble finding things to keep me busy

Diff Lockers mate, get in on the group buy here and get yourself a cheap reliable automatic locker for your front diff http://www.navara.asia/showthread.php?t=29219&page=23

 

[ShortyNavros]

Could also potentially replace the stock turbo with something a bit better? Forefront industries make one with a nicer billet forged compressor wheels for faster turbo spool, they are a forum sponsor and sell them for about $800, direct bolt up. If my turbo blows ill defs replace it with one of those, rather than genuine or other types of aftermarket

 

[Jonesyy]

been thinking about an e locker as the old man can get them through his shop its just the issue of your housing needs to be machined or ground back 2 - 3 mm to give the locker enough room

 

[Jonesyy]

yeah been thinking about a turbo upgrade aswell but dont see the point in changing it if its not broken like the saying goes " If it works dont change it "

 

[ShortyNavros]

Haha mate, if that was the saying we would hardly modify anything. But yes thats my thought as well.

 

[ShortyNavros]

Yeah E-lockers are good but shit they cost, even getting them below retail price would still be at least double the cost of what the automatic locker costs.

Have read a fair bit about them and most people say affect on steering is minimal if any, you just have to adjust your driving style a bit. Most people love them and think they are the best bang for buck for 4wd capability.

Mate looks pretty well sorted. I noticed you have a sub, how is the rest of your audio set up.

You can buy retractable eyelets for your tub, so as HJ says put the eyelets in just use the ones that lay flat so they are out of the way.
mate its looking the goods, maybe HD steering components from Calmini maybe SAS if your keen other then that just get out and start travelling.
What gearing did you change to in your diff?? and where did you get it from??
