Prado(kzj78) on going Build

[mudmike]

yes still standard exhaust, it only rubs a little at full flew going down hill, otherwise its fine

mine touched pretty bad, had to adjust the steering stop quite a bit

Thats coming along nicely.
The bars across the windscreen wont pass a WOF.
Drivers view obstructed.
Your bar work gives me ideas....

The bit in the middle is bolt on.. so removed for wof's I suspect..
great idea tho..

My exhaust touches pretty bad as it flexs up, adjusting stops wont fix it. I think im gona have to get that first bend re-made.

I had a pretty large offset on my rims too, but I did flip them.

Mine did the same running the factory alloys and 33x12.5's.
Adjusted the stops so the leading arms didn't rub on the tyres too hard. Enough to keep the WOF man happy.
Only got rub on the factory exhaust under downhill and tight turning to the right.
Didn't worry about it too much.
When I got 8 inch steelies and had the backspacing done it went away.
Until I fitted 35's and squeezed in a 3 inch exhaust.
Rubs again now but only as before.

Yea I've adjusted the stops enough to keep the wof man happy but dont want to crack my exhaust manifold again from leaning on the 35's. Am thinking about flipping some steel rims but didnt know if this would help or not. Thought that flipping the rims might just move rubbing from exhaust to guards.

[kbushnz]

Been there done that, I have trimmed my guards back and removed some of the inner guard and replaced it with plastic.
No guard rub now....
Trimmed it rearward at the bottom a good 70 - 90 mm.

Sounds like a plan then. How much did you flip your rims by? Did you trim the rear at all? I dont think I get rubbing on the rear at the moment.
