yeah i've seen a bit of scottbobcats work, looks great, certainly what i need

haha yeah chips seem to be pretty all over the shop from reading through many threads on here about it, could just be worth taking the ls1 out and putting it in the nav instead haha

thanks mate

 

[AmosD22]

So i've got a more up to date pic with the 4 inches of lift, 2 body and 2 suspension

pics really don't do it justice, bonnet sits at chest/sternum height, so definitely made a real difference

could not recommend zordo or efs enough, the new suspension definitely changed the way she drives, and feels a lot better

now in the next couple weeks will be adding the 35's on steelies, decided on trying out the Maxxis AT980, see how they go

also got the custom gauges going in soon along with a catch can from forefront and a snorkel, will then be looking at forefront for the new turbo, and try find a shop here that will do a nice intercooler for me

May want to re-enforce your steering setup mate if you want to put on 35s as your tierods will become vulnerable. Look into HD tie rod adjusters and maybe an idler arm brace. Most people buy from Caloffroad for about $120, they are generally the first thing to break during heavy offroad work will larger tyre/wheel combos.

awesome, cheers for the headsup mate, will order myself some right now

 

[AmosD22]

so thanks to Shorty4655 i now have HD tie rod adjusters on order as well as idler arm brace, just waiting to receive them, along with my snorkel and catch can, then on go the 35's and see how she holds up

anyway some pics from the weekend, a day after getting the lift's fitted, thought i'd give her a crack off road, a couple of pictures of some light flexing, and a video of going down then back up the hill, video also gives a bit of how the exhaust sounds, sorry for poor quality the pics are chopped out of the video

[AmosD22]

goin in to get new shoes put on today, unfortunately the AT980's don't come in 35x16 so having to step down to 33" and will look around for a set of 35"s that i like that come for a 16 inch rim, will post up some pics tonight of what she looks like

 

[AmosD22]

so got the new boots on

and here's a few clips of doing and attempting a few rutty inclines/declines to test out the new tread

and i've got myself TJM sump and tranny bash plates on order, as well as a TJM rear bar, waiting on back order so mid october they will be installed along with the HD tie rod adjusters along with idler arm brace and the snorkel

which should be the same time all the gauges and boost controller is fitted

in the meantime thinking it's time to order rocksliders, as the attempt in one of the videos above i smashed up the stock side step, so good excuse for some real side protection

and thinking it's time to get a little toolbox for the tray for all the tools and recovery stuff to sit in, then i think new turbo and intercooler and chip/tune

 

[OneMofo]

Good to see its coming along mate. Can I ask how much were the TJM bash plates? Need some myself.

thanks mate, finally getting there, much more fun offroad now haha

yeah mate installed at TJM they're 290 each plus 100 for install on both so 680 all up for both plates installed

 

[OneMofo]

Hmmm makes me think. Maybe ill go the TJM way.

yeah pretty descent pricing, that's Perth prices, everything seems more expensive here, not sure if that carries through for TJM haha

Gee you worked it hard in the middle video fella.

haha yeah that's certainly a pretty rutty climb that one, good fun but, luckily didn't break anything, i reckon with the bash plates and rock sliders on i'll have another crack at it, without any loose tyres in the tray as well haha

35's probably would've helped getting up it as well, and i don't think running full pressure in the tires did any favours

 

[happy john]

How about a front lokka, this will give you a lot more confidence and you won't need to flog it up the ruts.

yeah that is definitely on my list, but at 2500 for the elokka installed, she'll be a few months off, certainly be nice to be able to crawl up things like that instead of having to try bounce up it haha
