These are the tires I am running, BFGoodrich Mud Terrains K/M's 285/75/R16's. Good ole' 33" tires. I love the look of 80 series cruisers with 35" tires, but I really don't want the hassle of regearing at the moment and I obviuosly need more lift too:

For my suspension, I actually have an inordinary setup for cruisers with lots of armor/weight to carry.. I am actually running the light springs in the front OME851's and the Medium springs in the rear OME860's.. I don't have a winch in the front, so there was no problem untill I installed the sliders! Yes the sliders, finally brought down the front suspension a little. The rear was also brought down a tad with the install of the rear Hanna Bumper. So I decided to buy a couple of trim packers, 10mm in all four corners. Once I installed the trim packers, I noticed that it really didn't do much. So instead of buying new springs, I called up Man-a-Fre and placed an order for their 25mm trim packers that is the equivalent of a 1"(they were a bit pricey :mad:!! ). They are also austrilian made and seem to be made from the same material as the OME trim packers. That lifted the cruiser noticably! :cool: .. So that is my current set up, maybe some day I will buy the heavies like I should have done from the beginning :rolleyes: .. the good thing about my light springs up front, is that I am able to retain nice, smooth, springs when daily driving.

Any issue with using two trim packers? I know OME reccomends only using one packer per spring. I didn't realize Man-a-fre had those. I have the stock height OME springs with the 10mm packers. Doing what you did would give me the little extra I would like without the expense or need of new springs.

DRTduck, I have not had any issues whatsoever with the trim packers. OME does not recommend more than 20mm of trim packers, that's 2 10mm trim packers. I wheeled the heck out of cruiser and flexed the suspension, yet those trim packers sat in there without budging!

Hey Cc93cruiser,

Your truck looks good and performed well at Hollister Hills, actually I don't think it need addtional upgrade.

The NEXT upgrade would be a mud boot for you? :D

Cheers,

James, Deborah, and I will be up in Nor Cal this weekend. We are planning on doing Hollister on Sat. Let me know if you and your dad and Navid could make it. We would love to have others come out too.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread.

What is the next mod you plan on doing on the truck?

What's up Steve! Cool you guys are coming to Hollister huh? I hope I can be able to make it dude? I am pretty sure my girl works that day and I might have to sit home and baby sit the little bugger :mad: ...Well, hopefully she can get the day off :D .. I will let you know Steve, thanks. I think my next mod on my cruiser is probably some on-board air Outback Air.. and some more IPF's on my roof rack! :D ..

This is some pics of my Safari Snorkel. I really have not put it into use with deep water crossings (maybe because I haven't extended my differential/tranny/transfer breathers :frown: ), but it does come into use when we are wheelin with lots of other cruisers kicking up lots of dust ahead of you!

Here are a couple of pics of snorkel itself and where the snorkel attaches to the air filter assembly:

Thats a good system, bought mine a year ago and haven't had a single complaint.
 
Biff just curious, where did you mount yours?
 
Haven't mount it yet. Since I only use it a few times a month, I feel no need to mount it. Would be curious to see where you mount it.
 
Vic., I will post pics when I get it, hopefully they shipped out today, didn't you have the powertank set up?

No, remember I showed you the outback setup when we were at Kens. Its exactly the same one you got including the mount. Good little tank, works great for filling up tires.
