Man I'm trying :wink:

On PB's old site I just set the up loadload size and copied and pasted. It was too easy. On their new site thats not an option, so I manually resize the pic on PB, copy it and paste to ORE, hit submit. It comes up on my screen a good size so i think its all good, then you fellas tell me the pics are tiny

Im lost aye :cry:

Shame tho, I spose the 700 odd pics on PB can just float off into cyber space :roll:

Pete, I think I have it sussed :wink:

Tom seen your work in flesh in weekend and photos dont do your work justice, am absolutly loving it!

Nice work. On the sway bar pics, where are the springs on that setup?
I see shocks, bump stops etc but no springs
You dont do a bolt on bash plate for a KZN130 by any chance?

Dirtydog · Post by **Dirtydog** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 7:35 pm

i beleive those are the multi purpose shock/springs? similar to coil overs minus the coils?

Big · Post by **Big** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:31 pm

I'd say air shocks :mrgreen:

Sweeet only 4wd goodness for the fore-seeable future

No more motorhomes or other random jobs (except a handrail to finish up for that staircase I built awhile ago) :roll:

Heres a really easy one for you Terrano freaks :wink:

60" hi-lift mount

I pictured a leather dog collar tieing this end down.

While doing that should have taken the opportunity to move the damper up to steering arm Defender style rather than on track rod (Disco/RR).

oldyella · Post by **oldyella** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:32 pm

Nice work Tom.

As for relocating the steering dampner, I never realised there were two different setups.

I was planning on bolting in a guard along the back of the diff which protects the tie rod like what DB bolted onto his Defender. This would do a good job at protecting the dampner.

Otherwise, the tie rod and the drag link are the same sizes, I can just move the bracket to the drag link and fab up the top bracket to suit :mrgreen:

On the safari snorkel is there anymore noise than a normal cap when windows closed?
Am reallying liking that design

x2!!!!!!!! - I'm still a fan of the forward facing ram though and turning it around when in gorse etc, it would take Tom about 2 minutes to sort that one out tho :mrgreen:

Ahh yes, when the turbo spools up you can definitly hear it :lol:

Sounds mean in my opinion :mrgreen:

Wouldn't be hard to make one with a standard type hat tho
