new surf in chch

Post by mikienee »

hey,
bought my surf couple of months ago kzn130 i think , has suspension lift 33" mud tires, tow hooks front and rear, manual hubs also lsd in rear. looking at doing body lift and getting spacers made up in next few weeks also.
Not havin much luck so far, hit a tree first time took it out and smashed bumper, radiator, trans cooler, lights, and pushed radiator back into engine. Second time taking it out shattered left side cv joint and snapped right side cv off insde diff and screwed it, had a locker in front but took it and when rebuilt diff with donor parts.

Now the diff is leaking again and just been told all the cv bushes are so worn they have broken my manual hubs aswell so gotta replace most of front end. Im pretty keen on putting a solid axel in front instead, just sick of everything braking. Have been told it will cost about 4-5k to be done. has anyone done it and could reccomend someone in Christchurch to do the job
