Thanks uted, will do the same thing myself. i have the 2.5mm rods and welder, a mate has the mig. Suspension and brackets arriving this week so i will be putting in some big days for the next 3-4 weeks, before i am too old to do anything!? No i aint that bad not even 40 til next year. Cheers...

Hi uted, i thought as much. Bbm motorsport do make new ones, i have sent two e-mails with no result. Can you tell me what welding rods you used, what type and size? I have brackets similar to your i beam, mild steel t section. I will post some pics soonish [not too good on the computer] i have...

Hi Steve, Where did you get the new spring perches from?:)

Yeah thanks Herb, I have already found three cracks in the round tube cross bracing where they are welded to the chassis, and the inside of the chassis near the back of the cab has rusted through, nothing to extreme. Will correct that when i outboard the spring perches.Nice 42 Dave. Andrew

Hi, As far as the mods go and qld transport, i am only doing an engine swap [one diesel out one diesel in]. I am hoping that they will just see the diffs as diffs and not a mod [especially if i don't mention they have been upgraded]. Just going to put new suspension under them.Time will tell...

Just saw your message tourboy. I am outside of Childers. If you are ever over this way drop in. Always good for a cuppa [ or beer when allowed ] :)

G'day uted, Great to see that you have already done this mod. I tried to have a look at your build but all i am getting is a blank screen. Will try again later. How did you fit your front springs? Which springs 45/60? How do you rate the mod? I am all the way up north 350 km's north of...

All diesels. The old 45 is so tired that it won't move uphill from a standing start, have to get a run up.:)

:)Hello all, I am new to this site and to 4wd's for that mater. I have sold my FZR1000 to start 4wheelin. What i have at present is 2 HJ 60 wagons, both diesel [one 4 speed with a fairey overdrive, one 5 speed] and a hj45 ute. My plans are to take the entire running gear out of the 5speed hj60...
