I have a Pro Comp spacer lift and added AEV geometry brackets for the lower control arms. Wouldn’t worry which brand you get. They are only spacers so no real difference. I just got what was available at the time.
If you run light loads most the time I would say a spacer lift is still a good...
It’s a numbers game. Too few of us to make it cost effective for most companies. Those bringing gear in are pretty small businesses, add to that the limited number of RHD parts.
You’ll be fine with either of the GME 4wd kits if this is what you’ve been looking at. They are both at the top end of the price range but are easy to instal and use.
I went with the tailgate mount and find no issues with it in the bush or on roads.
I’ve owned a prado and ranger before the wrangler. Both good vehicles for heading out camping or 4wd’ing. Neither really have the feeling of the wrangler though.
seeing as you’re really good at waiting I’d say hang out for the new defender and look at that. You won’t get out of the base model...
Awesome, I’ve been thinking about this. What length are the shackles? How’s the length, does it get in the way. I am considering a shorter set just to leave there.
No complaints so far. Went out today and never left me wanting more. Rock climbing isn’t really my thing and there isn’t a lot of it here. Mostly mountain trails with mud and ruts. The rubicon suspension is pretty good for that and I just needed a bit more clearance. I did the shock extensions...
295/70’s fit nicely and no issues. Wouldn’t be too worried if I went to the 285/70’s either. Doubt you would see the difference. The 75 profile are hard to get here so I didn’t look to hard at them. I have played around with the pressures from low 30’s and back up to 35/36 cold now.
No, still locked down here. I don’t think I would remove it again though. Drives much better with it on. Not sure it would be any better for anything other than big steps to climb.
Yeah, those 24mm nuts are ridiculous. I would advise anyone working at home to make sure you have a good set of tools on hand. As most nuts and it's opposite bolt are the same head size you’ll need 2 of each spanner/ socket. Sway bar bolts to frame also has a litre of loctite per bolt.
I just...
Gave it a wash and put the rear sway bar back on after a lift a few weeks ago. Can definitely feel the difference. It was so loose in the rear without it.
Put in the Pro Comp 2” spacer lift over the weekend. Was pretty tough doing it on the ground. A hoist would have made it a lot easier. Most of my off road driving is unloaded and the Rubicon suspension ride well that way. May go to longer springs one day but this feels alright for now.
Really happy with the Toyo R/T’s, they are much quieter than a muddie on the road. Have spent a few days in the bush with them and all good there too. I kept the stock rims. couldn’t see the value in buying new ones as I decided not to go to 35’s.
Would definitely recommend an all terrain if...
