I'll do that Dave.
Compress? The springs surrounding the bags are pretty thin. I think they are only made to keep the bags together. But I'll get it flexing and take some pictures.

I got a new price quoted for the bags from Delta 4X4 here in Chch. They told me they're worth $800 not fitted. (they are childs play to fit, that's how come I fitted them).
The set I brought was off TradeMe. They were off a FJ40. I brought them second hand for $300. So far I'm stoked with them.

I ended up getting a baby sitter and heading out with the boys to Hanmer a couple of days ago. It was a blast! I intended to get the 40 out n dirty if I was just taking the kids up. But I ended up towing two bikes n a quad instead.



By the time we got home from riding the tracks I was to stuffed to take the 40 out.



We went up n down a few Haglen tracks. Man they are naily!!!
Got my quad stuck going down one. Managed to get it free with some help. Silly mistake on my part.
Here's some youtube of the trip.
