Re: Want to buy 80 series rear upper control arm

Thanks Clint, I've dropped the bits to an engineer's this morning and he's confident he can get a good weld on it without burning the bush even. Mine's a '94 but its an Aussie model with the barn doors and part time 4wd, FW hubs etc. so may be different to the average VX we get here. The top arms ...

Re: cert???

Im finding this really funny.. Its pretty simple, they work on a dairy farm, Have several workers, with no time to walk around a farm...., so they need vehicles, which are 3 suzukis because thats best suited for them. Its not going to be practical to have 1 and share it around. And as said, moving ...

Re: cert???

You're a bit rude you southern farming types? Luckily I know from experience you're in a minority of two. It seems obvious that if by some remote chance you do own a farm as opposed to being after school workers then your Daddies worked and bought them for you. How can you keep missing the point? I ...

You know? Everyone is right. i used to rebuild diffs for a living way back in another life before crush sleeves were invented. We used to spend hours on them using wet n dry to slowly peel off a few thou to get the pinion preload just exactly right, measuring it with a spring balance. Then we'd ...

Re: Wrangler suspension?

Well there's your strength answer, sounds like the kits are strong but the diffs are weak with large rubber and aftermarket gears on them. A call to the local certifier to discuss options beforehand would be a good idea as well. So it's no as easy as ordering the right parts and installing them? I ...

Its important to consider those kits are made for LHD and yours is RHD, mine's got a Rubicon Express 5.5" long arm with underbody armour kit in it and i can tell you ordering your kits is only the beginning of where you'll be going afterwards. There's a shipload of alignment and setting up to do ...
