not critizing, just some heads up...
once you have the height confirmed that you want then may i suggestwelding new blocks and a peice of conveyor belt between the aluminum and the steel frame?

Ya, I'll get around to it sometime, not on the list of priorities right now. I already have the materials, just no time to throw them together.

Have fun on your ride this weekend, I'll post some of my trip.

Enough room for flex now, the tires were too close before, and now the rears will actually follow the fronts.

 

[crushers]

looks like fun, maybe next time...

 

[lshobie]

Ya, I have my blonde moments.

i pity you having to run with those POS Rovers...
Rovers are like North American Jeeps... great to look at... from a distance.

sick videos mate,is their much other guys driving around in the 79 series utes up in canada ? your's should stand out a fair bit then aye.

 

[lshobie]

Not too many that I know of - maybe one or 2 more in canada on the road?? I get looked at all day, thought it was me at first - then I tinted the windows - turns out they were just looking at the truck

The tires are rubbing on the bottom of the bed - have to either lift the bed or add some longer shackles.

Here are some high quality videos hosted on my site:

or drop the bumpstops...

 

[lshobie]

I dont want to drop them, there is only about 6 inches or less of travel when I have my gear on the truck. The springs have worked in nicely since I removed the 3 leafs. Or, I might just put one leaf back in.

 

[crushers]

what i suggest is custom shackles and drop the bumpstops till the tire just clears the bed... you will not need much of a drop at all, less than what you might picture...

 

[lshobie]

I'll mess with it after the ARB install, will drive it on a ramp and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Ishobie

May I ask how you imported your HZJ79 to Canada? I'm planning to import my HZJ76, but there's a law prohibiting import of vehicles 1992 onwards.

Thanks.

hey mate, how much is diesel up there in canada at the moment ?

 

[lshobie]

Mate, about 135-139 a litre in the city, up in the hills where I was wheeling it was 155/ltre. Just about killed me.
