Hi folks,

Slowly building the Surf up, and beginning to look at lockers... Having IFS, not solid axle at the front, how easy is it to put a locker in there?

And what sort of prices do front and rear lockers start from?

Hey guys, I have just upgraded to an Old Man Emu suspension setup, and thus, I have front and rear shocks for sale that were in the Surf! They are in very good working condition, though dont look quite as good as that. Make an offer, or if you could help me price them (they're going on TradeMe ...

Thanks very much for the replys guys. Sorry - I should have mentioned in my initial post that I have essentially got the truck ready to join the local club; eg fire extinguisher, rated and professionally fitted hooks, necessary recovery equipment etc etc. I have taken it out several times already ...

Hi all, I have been scoping out the forums for a wee while now, but thought it was time to introduce myself! Im pretty new to 4x4ing, and a couple of months back picked myself up a standard-ish 88 Surf (front IFS). Im based in Wellington, so anyone nearby, make yourself known, Im always keen to head ...
