May have myself another vehical to run around in in the mean time so i'll seriously look at pulling parts out and selling as wanted and i'll fit std back in until I can get it into the workshop

Hmmmm tempting.... Do you have the rear 3" lift springs too?

Hey, You do realize Navara and Terrano have different length torsion bars?
Could be keen on the upper control arms.
I say split them up and don't muck around with their removal. Sounds like in the auction, that you want someone to pay for them and you MAY get around to removing and sending........Van Reins

Cheers,

Rear end is navara or hard body as US fellas refer so is using leaf spring spacers and extended shackles. mite sell the whole kit and make a new rear end set up for mine

No I wouldn't want anyone to pay for them until they are removed that would just be a bit crazy, (would be removed, cleaned, photo up, sold, money in, parts sent) really just seeing who's keen on what so I know what to list as I disassemble the front end or to just leave listing as is. that way I can list as I go
wasn't aware of the terrano length difference though thanks

I now have my truck fully converted so the calmini kit is removed (has been for a couple of months)

Cool front end, I saw your thread on NTR.

Out of interest, did the Calmini UCAs try to smash into the shock absorbers at full droop?

Somebody should snap these up, def. one of Calminis better products. And when you consider that Calmini relies on brand recognition to command a silly high price (like Warn). Though the Calminis stand out like dogs balls so I imagine cert. would be necessary (right right we're all certed anyway for all of our mods, of course)

Rough Country/Superlift/Calmini UCAs work wonders on these vehicles.

At full drop they defanitly touch the shocky dust boots but never the body or shocky steem. They are good done the trick for me but like many others I just wanted more and more and before you know it you find yourself collecting parts to build a SAS.
Yep itl be needing a good cert for next wof

[lax2wlg]

Good for you
I'm sure plenty were quick to knock the D30 idea but it actually makes a lot of sense.

[centralnavara]

Yer they were but they are cheap easy to get and can buy many options for them as far as pozylocks air lockers etc and I like factory setc over modified housings etc done my time with those sorts of things so was time to try something eles and if I'm not happy with it I can get a 44 with next lot of cars that come in

[lax2wlg]

Yeah exactly you can make a D30 f***ng strong and not that expensive.

Plus since its from a XJ its already set up for coils and that sweet 3-link which for me would be the reason for SASing - triple the front wheel travel

Plus no cut and flip /reverse rotation strength issues which kind of let down the otherwise excellent Toyota 8" front.

I see the D30 as being like the Nissan R180. A good design but low tolerance for overloading/exceeding its designed duty.

[centralnavara]

Like you say can get other axles etc for them as well. I've been an automotive engineer for 10yrs going on 15yrs and most diff failures are due to doing something stupid or maintenance issues or more to the point lack of maintenance. Dana30s they have a few old school ideas but thats ok universal joints, but can get greasable ones and unit bearing wheel bearings but up side to that is can carry a spare and they just bolt in. I haven't got big tyres yet so don't see it being a problem in the short term dana rate them up to 33" tyres
