Slee torsion bar question, left/right?

[Landpimp]

got my Slee t-bars, noticed they are marked left/right............is that US left/right or Aussie Left/right..........and is it left/right looking at it from the front or the back?

cause I am off to my buddies shop early in the morning to install them and then get it aligned.

I feel like such a newbie

You are....you "100 newbie!" Lift that sucker! Drop that diff! Slap on those huge tires and hit a 4.5+ rated trail covered in snow. You'll cream your other Cruisers even the ones with 44's! (OK, I'm full of it! )

hey.......if your out of town till tuesday........how are you replying I called up the shop today and talked to Ben, he was very helpfull

As for the t-bars, I didn't know if they came from OZ or if you had them made in the US or what..........so I needed to ask. Those things are beefy!

After a bit of re-adjustment after we 1st installed the t-bars, its rides GREAT............you were not kiddin See we had the bars cranked up a "bit" much(about 4" from where it sat stock, but it was level front to rear) Funny thing I hit a speed bump and the front end came off the ground.......... droped it back to about 2.5" over stock, ran it back on the alignment rack(no charge) and its WONDERFULLY.....cant think of any negitives to it................cept that it looked better 4" up

shame there is no way to run a longer shock in the front

wanna hear something funny? I called information looking for Slee's #..............but I had no clue where in CO you were...........so we called up Randys Ring and Pinion.......someone had your # very handy

let me know when the drop kit is ready

Pimp: You're comin' around. You've now got the 100 fever. Pretty soon you'll think that 100 is the best Cruiser ever. There's hope!

 

[Landpimp]

my green 82 fj40 is the best cruiser ever.........at least around my place and whats funny is the 82 is worth as much if not more than the 2000......... oh and I can work on the 82

Cop out. Shows your bias! Is that green 82 for sale?

stock heght

What was your measurement at stock height?
Carl

 

[Landpimp]

34" from the ground to the fender, that was with the ARB bar(no winch) and 285's. think I ended up at 36.5"

They will still say that you need to install the DS on DS and PS on PS even if the truck is not from Oz.

PS, reminds me better check how those OME torsion bars are labelled.

> hey.......if your out of town till tuesday........how are you replying I called up the shop today and talked to Ben, he was very helpfull

Caught that before I got on the plane.

> As for the t-bars, I didn't know if they came from OZ or if you had them made in the US or what..........so I needed to ask. Those things are beefy!

Yup, interested to see how the OME's compare. You better buy another 100 now just to compare


> After a bit of re-adjustment after we 1st installed the t-bars, its rides GREAT............you were not kiddin

Yes, kinds like when you first install OME on a 80.

> See we had the bars cranked up a "bit" much(about 4" from where it sat stock, but it was level front to rear) Funny thing I hit a speed bump and the front end came off the ground..........

Yes, but it does look good at that height, doesn't it.

> shame there is no way to run a longer shock in the front

Longer shocks and longer arms would help.

> wanna hear something funny? I called information looking for Slee's #..............but I had no clue where in CO you were...........so we called up Randys Ring and Pinion.......someone had your # very handy

Well, now all you have to remember is 1 888 4X4SLEE

> let me know when the drop kit is ready

If you are prepared to live with one painted instead of plated bolt, they are ready to ship. Otherwise about a week to get the bolts back.

I'll wait for the full bling bling kit.......gotta have the plated bolts..........

Nice stuff, very happy, Connie likes it also......she is starting to like it TOO much IMOP....think he wants her own 100 now......

its is, weather has been s***ty, but I snaped some pics, lets try to find em........

Pimp are you going to post a pic of this when it is completed?

 

[Landpimp]

lifted

right before I lifted it, with 285's and ARB bar on

when I bought it, stock tires, gold crap all over it, crappy "brush guard"

few other post lift pics

swaped the tires it came with and $300 for the 285's, got the ARB for $400, the suspension I am into $700ish, kinda a budget 100 build

 

[Landpimp]

your right, buget price, high quailty parts

yeah I am really happy, think it came out great, fun to look at it going from stock, to bigger tired, to lifted

 

[G-Cat]

Interesting placement of the blister emblem.

Hey Pimp: Paint that bumper. Look at that awesome Cruiser you have. Paint that thing bro!
