        Re: My Rig Build

        Next was the 2" lift done by the guys at total Traction Tyres in Lonsdale SA. They used the Darren from Autocraft method. Bilstein shocks all round with easy rider springs in the front and some secret adjusting and welding on the rear air bags. Lost the comfort setting (which I only used once anyway), but still have the auto ride levelling and ability to lower or raise the rear for trailer and of road occassions.

              Looking good there, did you have any troubles with your size coopers before installing the 2" lift?

                Yep, rubbed on full lock, otherwise ok. Once the lift was done all rubbing stopped.

                    Re: My Rig Build

                    Had ARB install front and rear airlockers. (No pics)

                    Installed Billet Racing quad breathers to the front and rear diffs, tfr case and transmission. Also raised the fuel breather up inside near the fuel filler.

                          Re: My Rig Build

                          OK, this lists everything else to bring the build up to date:

                          1. Quick release sand flag

                          2. 100amp fuse box to tidy up the mess under the bonnet

                          3. New Stebel 139db horn to replace the pathetic excuse for noise that Toyota put on as standard.

                          4. Non "Granpa" visors

                          Again, big thanks to Matt (Matt & Loz) for the assistance with installing items 2, 3 and 4.
