Hey Jeremy yeah would love to see some mate. Are you running a lock out pin on the xlink ?? If so what's it like driving like on the road ??
 
No worries mate if you follow my thread I will post some pics up within he next week or so.

It drives well on the road but has been an absolute dog lately. I'm hoping the repair to the chassis should sort out 99% of the problems I'm having. I'm planning on upgrading the shocks and rebalancing the 37s which should help too.
 
Yeah mate fixing the cracks and replacing the front panhard bush turned mind back into a pretty decent driving car again lol, Well a car with a set of super flex arms and no front sway bar good. What size lift shocks setup etc you running now?? I'm still keen to try a xlink but at the moment it's very low on the list of jobs to do. I need to upgrade shocks too it's another job on the list. I've got dodgy home brand cheapies in mine at the moment there rubbish lol. Just gotta sort out my motor / tune and get the car pulling like it should before any other projects or mods start with the old girl.

There is only one rear spare. The last two are "fake". They are a part of the dasboard and can't be pushed out.
I have a ECT button (only for AT), sub fuel tank, rear window defroster and center diff lock.
 
Oh just noticed that thanks mate. My little dual battery should fit in that one spare one then hopefully

Hey man I'm running 6 inch on the front and 5 inch in the back. Flipped radius arms on the front.

I really need a bit of weight over the back I've not even got a spare at the moment so it has a bit of what I believe they call stink bug round here lol. As far as shocks go I'm running some tough dog shocks. Im not sure what size but the PO has put about 3 inch spacers on the bottom of them where they mount to the diff housing so correct size shocks are also at the top of my to do list.

Sucks about the problems you're having with your motor/turbo. Are you any closer to resolving it?
 
Yeah shocks are on my list of jobs I need to do too. Fox's kings of radflos in 12s would be nice I reckon for my setup.

Hopefully with the pump getting pulled off reset / tuned and injectors serviced it'll come good. Bottom end wise my motors healthy as. As you'd like to hope with it only have 20k kms on it.

Poor old paints starting to show it's age. 26 years old this year.
 
Transfers back from gearbox place. Woo HOO the spare transfer case I bought does have a part time spool in it I didn't get ripped off lol. Bearings checked out fine, reduction gears fitted and a new seal kit put threw it.

Diffs first, then pump issue fixed then you never know mate. It's defiantly on the cards though at some point.

Also put some nemesis 9000 frylyts on lay by so hopefully I'll have some decent driving lights again. I can't wait I miss driving the old heapa
 
Let me know I'll scrounge up a few bods and make a trip. Have a looks at 4WDtrip.com.au and you'll see my snow trip on July 23
