Presently I have a 4", 100mm, lift on my 70 SWB, coils all round.
Time to replace the shocks. Currently have Tough Dog foams and I don't want them again.
The shocks I would much prefer are the OME Nitrocharger's.
Has anyone fitted OME Nitrochargers on a 4", 100mm, lift?

Recently had a 15B engine installed into a KZJ71; formally a 1kz-te.
How can I have a rpm meter got the B series engine?
The clock set I am using had the rpm meter, but it's from a 22r petrol engine.
I know I can use an aftermarket digi or analogue meter from places like auto meter, but would...
I am on the look out for a set of Aisin hubs for my KZJ71 project.
They can be new or refurbished. I actually have a set that could be refurbished, or even used as they are for that matter.
Any advice appreciated.
I am in the unfortunate position of having china made locking hubs on the front of my 70. A copy of AISIN in other words.
Anyone any experience with these?
My originals are shot so need to repair.
15b(T) into a kzj71 project
New JDM kjz71 arrived from Japan in March 2012.
After the puzzle was put together:
New look in July 2012:
Look as of 16-08-12:
This maybe common knowledge to most but thought I would share.
Over the last year or so my 1kz-te engine had been reving occasionaly, at idle, between 400 and 800rpm. After going through the fuel system the problem still persisted. Finaly 1 month plus ago the fuse on the battery terminal...
Had a intercooler installed a few years back on the 1kz. When I went to collect, the job was done very nicely but the intercooler piping was only just over dia 1.5", or 40mm. Was a little upset, but well...it was done.
Anyway, now I would like to install the correct sized piping. So what...
The 1kz-te has been a little rough on starting recently:
1. After a few starter turns the engine fires but a load of white and black smoke comes out of the exhaust then settles down to normal.
2. The fuel pump, at idle, occassionaly jumps between 500 to 900rpm.
Any idea? ECU? Injectors? Fuel...
As per subject, this is occurring on my lj70 as quite random times:
1. At any speed over 40kmph the wobbles may occur.
2. During braking the wobbles may occur.
Lj70 has been converted over to kzj70 spec, but steering mechanism is the same.
To date the following has been done to try...
Done a search but nothing really relevant.
The rear ARB locker does not appear to be working.
When the locker is 'on' and with the back jacked up, turning one wheel by hand will turn the other. OK.

This is more for info and I am not too interested to do.
Had alot of comments about strenghtening 8" axles over the years; gusseting or whatever the term.
Whats the reaction to this?
I have been running 8' axles for many years on 33" and 35" tyres and too date not had any dramas. I don't...
