Aw man, life can really kick one in the balls sometimes, has happened to me loads, I'd have those wheels and tyres off you you in a flash but unfortunately I am on my ass cos of this crazy global situation too. Maybe make a list of stuff you have to split off it, you did so much I can't...

This? SPC Performance 25460 Control Arm, Upper: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Ah, cool, ta. Where did you get them from Beau?

Dude are you in the UK? and if so where did you get SPC upper control arms from?

had to unbolt the rack and push it right out the way to stop the bolt head from interacting with the rack. Does anyone happen to know the open length of a standard front shock for these trucks to save me using my dodgy spring compressor and launching a spring into orbit?

Taking the control arms out today, the godammit steering rack is in the way, this sucks ass.

just the one, luckily or my truck would be like swiss cheese :grimacing:

Someone needs to take this dimple die away from me....

Ok this thread is gonna turn into a "my build thread" for your entertainment. :) Picked up a BFG mud terrain tyre from a set we have kicking about the father in laws garage that came off one of the land rovers. I picked the one with the most tread left, still even has the little spiky bits...

If it's the same size or bigger than the original then it will fit. Shipping to Straya would probs cost more than getting a steel bumper though I would say

I have designed another winch mount that hides completely behind the front bumper. I shall be making it sometime next week. While I am at it I can make some more. Is anyone interested in such an item fro their truck?

Thanks dude :)

Ok so if you get a lift to put 33's on, when the suspension compresses do they not just interfere anyway? Do 33's interfere on the back at all with or without a lift? am I barking up the wrong tree here totally and the message is "don't put 33's on at all?

Yeah I got a bit early morning head and realised after I posted I could have just chucked this in my other thread.

Cool, thanks dude, that save me some thinking and confirms the plan I was mulling over :) I was thinking of using an SPC adjustable upper control arm and adjusting the bottom control arm forward, nearly 800 quid for it shipped kind of sucks ass though eh, 186 of which is just import tax and a...

Ok so yesterday I jacked one side up in order to replace the weird air intake snoot thingy that lives underneath the passenger side wheel arch and thought while I was there I would do some measuring and investigations into what exactly restricts the travel on these trucks. I took a measurement...

I was wondering does anyone know if these fit with no lift/factory suspension without going wild with the grinder?

Cool, thanks peeps :) So not much if any sag on my truck, hmm, interesting. I'll measure the spring wire diameter and outside OD and work out the spring rate, maybe that will give more clues.

Thanks man :)

Ah right it's a communication error. The test was at 40 miles and hour round a bend on the road and it rolled less, which is the puzzle. I concur with the off road situation and less body roll at low speeds. Interestingly I watched that vid the other day which got me thinking about it all :)

Well I'm not sure Shayne I mean it's an anti roll bar after all, lol, so one would expect more roll without it. Man I havn't got into chassis engineering for 20 years, I'm going to dig out the ol books and find out wtf is going on. Chris- I don't actually know if my truck has had a lift or not...

Same speeds same corners (both left and right hand bends)

Ok more head spins...... Reconnected/reffited both anti roll bars then went for a blast around the lanes. Disconnected the front anti roll bar and left rear fitted and went for another blast. Using an angle finder for welding we measured a five degree LESS difference in roll with the angle...

Well I took the rear ARB off and all I can say is fuck that shit, it could be my shocks are screwed or the springs have softened but man it felt like piloting a boat at speed around corners. Rear ARB makes next to no difference to rear end articulation as a whole but does improve independence...

Thanks for the reply dude :) Well theoretically it should have more "articulation" and on droop it is more obvious than on the upward stroke. In practice I think if it's 1" on the up before the forces go across the chassis and compresses the other side, I would be amazed I'll take the rear out...

I'm with Shayne, if you have somewhere to keep it for free then it's not costing you anything. As long as you don't need to liquidate some cash, leave it settle a while

Bored as a bunch of holes so I disconnected the front anti roll bar to see if it does make a difference to articulation/handling. Here's a vid. It's not very scientific.I used a small kerb to get one corner activating. Clip without the front plastic bumper is my kid driving it with sway bar...

Ah man :(

Dude did you make any more progress?

thanks man

Anyone running copper discoverers? If so what size and what pressures you running on road? What pressure do you run off road? Thanks

lol, yeah, I have plenty of time on my hands atm due to the current situation, thanks!

Thanks man, that's pretty cool, I think I will bother my ass to do it :)

aw go on, I wanna know why now :P

I heard they existed but have never seen one. Anybody seen or have one? thinking of ditching the fender flares but would like to see what's underneath before I go through the bother of welding up all the holes behind. Thanks

THIS ^^

do you think a samich plate design is better that a U shaped bracket as in the first example?

excellent, thanks :)

I'm going to make some rock sliders. I was wondering what do you think is the bast way to mount to the chassis/frame or what would you prefer to see? Thanks in advance

As soon as this lockdown blarx is over I will be making hidden winch mounting plates for the 90, I have a neat affordable design that requires minimal modification to the vehicle that I have been sitting on since I made my semi covert winch bumper.

I hate the handbrake on my cruiser with a passion

Got my keys back :)

Thanks dudes :)

Hi, I have a problem........ :( Like a dipshit I left the key to my truck in the door last night and some fcker nicked it. I think they didn't bother nicking the truck because it was full of stinking rubbish I was going to take to the rubbish dump this am. I have a spare key and also I dug out...

dude that is beyond the fucking thunderdome, love it

Thanks man :)

What is this Majic voodoo of which you speak, please expand :)
