Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.

Looking great! Do yourself a favor and get from Old Man Emu part number FK58 and space up your rear brake proportion rod mount by 80mm. Makes a big difference in braking. This is where is goes -

Thanks for the tip, I ordered an FK58 today.

Is there an equivalent part if you’ve only lifted 50-60mm, or is it not necessary?

You simply need to raise it the amount of your lift. I put a 4" lift in so I made an extension bracket of 100mm that raised the arm the same amount.

So if there are no retail options for the amount you raised the suspension then you would need to make a bracket 50-60mm (did you measure before and after lift? - this is the best way) and then adjust from there.

I think @Felde did a writeup in his build thread you could check on adjustment and testing, etc.

My writeup of adjusting the LSPV is here.

You really need to do an adjustment procedure. Just measuring and raising the lever to approximately the correct position won't work. The spring setting is quite sensitive. We are talking 2mm (5/64 inch) here.
Good Luck Ralf

Thanks @Rigster and @Felde - easy to buy aftermarket parts but the devil is in the details!

Yes, it's also available from Old Man Emu and the part number is FK51. It lifts less yet we find it worthwhile to give more bias to the rear axle to increase stopping power.

Phase one just about done of a big “three phase” sound deadening job on this 79.

After searching the globe for a year this was the only new HZJ 79-series gauge cluster I could get my hands on. VDJ & GR clusters won’t work 100% with an FTE.

Well, that’s just not good enough for our build, we only have one tank and we want a tach. So we had Dakota Digital build us this!

Some of the many options available to us now.

No need to run separate gauges for EGT, boost or whatever, display screen covers that.

Cheers

 

[LJRay]

…oh we suplicate Dakota-gods-on-high, offer us 70-series clusters conformable to our heart’s desires, we beseech you…

Terrain Tamer makes basically an extension to your existing axle mount to compensate for your lift.
