Cool, sounds good Steve. Unfortunately when I was checking the fit I forgot to check if the tyres were going to hit the front bumper outrigger and the seams in the wheels arches. If I just get the car up on the hoist again and then prop up the axle so its hitting the bumpstop, and then turn the stee...

Oh and one more annoying question, sorry. I'm pretty eager to show off my new wheels/tyres to my friends this weekend but there's no way I can install the gears in that timeframe. If I only drive it in 2wheel high mode though it should be ok right?? Is there any risk of damaging the clutch or drive-...

Ordered the tyres. I got 235/75/15 Nankang Mudstars. Only $179 each I've been putting some numbers through this calculator (http://www.lepayne.com/gears.html) and it seems that I should get 4.9 gears. Even though the 4.1 is a better match for high range, if I get 4.9s then I'll be better setup for o...

Thanks for that. So after doing a test fit on my new rims I've revised my plan and now want to run 235/75/15 as I don't want the wheels sticking outside the flares. I'm going to order the tyres soon and now tossing up between 4.1 or 4.9 gears. This car probably won't be a hardcore bush basher so may...

Thanks for the tip. It' rides a bit smoother now but the car still rocks from side to side alot on bumpy uneven surfaces. I wonder if that can be remedied easily somehow? Considering the previous owner of the car told me it was never off-roaded I was surprised to see the shocks were completely shot....

So today I fitted up the lift kit. Everything went well and I just drove it home. There was one problem though to do with the front shocks. I'm not sure that I tightened the top locking nut properly. The stock shocks had two nuts tightened against each other to set the tension on the rubber spacers ...

That's great it sounds simple then. Should be able to knock that over in the day easily.

Hey Guys, I'm picking up my OME lift kit from ARB on Monday and then I've got 8 days off work to get it installed. How long do you guys reckon it will take to install the kit. I've got nowhere to work on the car at my house so I have arranged access to a friends hoist in their car workshop. They're ...

Hrmm.. I've been looking a running a 30x9.5x15 to get around the width problem. Will I be able to air down sufficiently if I run that tyre on a 15x7 rim?

Just occured to me if I go for a 245x75x16 tyre on a 16x7" rim I'll get a much wider choice of compatible rims and I'll keep the same tyre diameter of aprox 30.5" but shave an inch off the width 10.5" down to 9.6". With the right offset should clear the springs and keep within th...
