[M Night Shamalayan 2,310]

Ive got a mate who's got some 13" work equips 01's. The original 1 piece ones. Hopefully he will let them go for cheaps, then I just need some of those sweet 175/50R13 tyres haha.

Very much agreed. Love equips

[Steelies 18,740]

oh wheel jealous.

 

i'm goin for 2" blox rear and take an inch out of the spring top hat at front. mine has about an inch of van rake at present. will pretty much be on rear bumps after 2" lowering. stupid crazy tall bump stop pillar things

[M Night Shamalayan 2,310]

Yeah this ones raked about an inch too.

need to get underneath it and have a look at possibilities for slam.

When you say take an inch of of spring top hat, you mean, cutting the top of the spring? Or extending the top had so the shock sits further up?

[Steelies 18,740]

mine has an upper spring perch i'd guess you'd say - not so much the top hat, that has a rather unnecessary inch of length. that needs to be removed/shortened, to bring the top of the spring upward by that much. have yet to find mystery issues with this though.

 

i got blocks and U-bolts from SAS in the hutt. maybe will need to drill out the leaf spring plates to fit slightly bigger bolt diameter. unsure of leaf/block pin diameter but will mod to suit. think theyre listed as escort or cortina Ubolts. 65ID by 200mm long $120ish with blocks

if your front brakes are good enough rumor has it that these things can do nose wheelies under heavy braking! haha

Have a photo somewhere of my old carry with 6m lengths of wood on the roof haha..

they're not kidding,i rebuilt the front brakes on my old hijet and that thing would touch the front bumper to the ground quite regularly,lmao

[MRWEST 1,923]

used to love rolling round in my mates matt black carry it was aweseome hahaha..

[M Night Shamalayan 2,310]

Brakes in it are beyond shit. So there'll be no nose wheelie shenanigans... Yet...

Will have a look tonight when I get home and check out what this upper spring perch is all about. See how much we can lop off it without too many ill effects.

Anyone know if these things come up at pick a part much?

[feathersword 74]

I would hate to see one of these after a crash at Pick a Part - can't imagine your knees fairing too well!!

[M Night Shamalayan 2,310]

Yeah hoping for broken ones engine wise. Rather than front end stacks. All I really want is a new front bumper and a window winder for the door. So far....
