[skid]

Paint the springs same colour as the calipers

nah, you've gone to the trouble of leaving the spring hangers there and kept them the same colour as the springs, so I'd repaint the calipers

[niblik]

and turn the shokys up the right way!!! they dont work upside down Ow

oh but they do work properly that way wop.. talkin to the boss dealership for rancho's down here, and they're fine that way as long as ya remove the shaft cover thing (yes yes, i know it says on them to mount a certain way up) trust me, i checked that prior to fitting. it was integral in the fittin parameters. the bonus is it keeps the adjustment knob out of the way from damage..

yeah pete.. am thinkin i need to paint the coils..

and skid, the spring mounts are goin to be utilised as recovery points. put a couple of bolts through them up through the chassis etc and run a D shackle in em..

[turoa]

ohh hate to bring bad news but take one off and try it bro, they dont work upside down or right side up. stroke them a couple times by hand and you will soon find out... sorry man,

You entering it in the Hanmer Mudplug this month bud?
Sorry for the thread jack.

[niblik]

You entering it in the Hanmer Mudplug this month bud?

yeah, ah, na. would have liked that dude but realistically i want to finish it first and then have a few drives to test her etc. rather get a potential failure close to home rather than far abroad..

I thought you might have been closer to finishing it by now nibs.
You've made some good progress on it this year.
Remember. The offer to try it out at the bros place still stands.
Don't be shy.

bro that would be mad cool, super low box 1st 1st gear slo mo burnout

[petefj40]

I was going to say, "come out to the bros pad". But I did a re-think and said, "place" instead.

Only trouble with the bros skid pad for those things with low hp is. No diesel to be poured onto concrete allowed. Water is fine though.
Some how, I think Jase is going to be very careful with this puppy of his. Years in the making? I don't blame him.

I will say. If he does make plans to come out. Before hand we might ask to use the neighbors dosser to make some obstacles to crawl over.

[niblik]
