As per title, I want to lift my swb safari 2 inches. 4wdbits has a variety of different options and weights etc. Will i need both shockies and springs? What is the deal with spring spacers? Anything else I need to consider, and is it something I can do at home?
cheers, Tom.

Re: stereo + 24v
I plumbed the converter into the cigarette lighter feed wire (switched +)... and cause the cigarette lighter is already fused at the fuse box... and there was a nice big space behind it to fit the converter. $30 is pretty good - i think mine was about 60 from Jaycar. :) Jay rodger, that sounds like...

Re: stereo + 24v
Jay, where abouts did you plumb in the converter? (no auto sparky either)
can pick up one for about $30 on Trademe

Whats the easiest way to hook the power supply up through the ignition and get a 12v source? Will i need a 24 to 12 converter or is there a 12v in ...

Re: safari differences..
Hey Surf_tomo, This is actually registered as a Nissan Safari, courtesy of carjam (Granroad I would say) and either someone has changed the badges over, or possibly had the back door replaced at some stage? And as for the blue oval...wtf? lol. They are very well mannered on the road, considering th...

Re: Ideas for first truck?
the 2.4s are fine as long as you look after them. they're not fast machines but do the trick. True, but as with most trucks you don't know its past service history. All you have to be aware of is that the 2.4 turbos can, and do, go pop. If you are keen on one check for all the signs of overheating,...

8K is a great starting point. When I bought my first truck (surf) I spent 3 or 4 and got someone's problem. I got my double cab hilux (ln06) for 8K, and I really enjoy how simple and reliable it is. No electrics to get water damaged, no turbo heat up that engine. Plus they are light and have good gr...

good write up in the tech section of the Auzzie surf forum

I never did it to mine, tho I do believe you will have to find the correct size intercooler (small, r32 skyline one from memory?) unless your truck has a body lift.
