Made some new chassis brackets for the rear sway bar (Which came down from JAFA land - Wohooo) and got that and the front mounted up. Thought I would test it and nearly ended up in the bank Handles like a bloody race car now
Tomorrows job, handbrake cables and modify rear towbar for receiver hitch.

Well I have done all my weekend achievements in one day. Competed in the manukau winch challenge. Came 6th in class. Improvement from last year. Now stiff and sore. Need rest.....

If you mean the leaf sprung hilux at possum palace, it is mine, auto lockers front and rear, 2 inch spring lift, worn 31 inch mts and a 2.8 NA diesel.
It goes well, until you need power (sand, deep mud etc) but climbs the rutty dry stuff unless it bellies or rests the rear towbar frame on a bank.
