Hi all
Well, had my 80 series for a couple of years now, and apart from a few issues just after buying in (long, tedious story), Overkill has become part of the family.
As with any truck this age tho, its due a little TLC, so a few ideas/plans, which I would welcome recommendations on:
1. Exhaust systems - the SS system on mine is a dogs dinner bodged together by a previous owner, and is constantly snapping mounts and generally banging about - I'd like to replace from the flexi back with a proper system - ideally SS. Debate is: get one made up by a local company that will fabricate to order, or get one purpose made for the 80? Any thoughts?
2. Suspension - again the vehicle came with a mix and match suspension that the previous owner had done on the cheap with second hand springs etc. The rear shocks have recently failed and I'm thinking of replacing the springs and shocks all around. I need to go +2" due to the oversized tyres - again, any recommendations?
Thanks all
