    Elmo gets liffted .

    Hi Guys , well i got sick of the guards rubbing on the tyres and taking chunks of rubber off so i done some measuring and mucking around . After doing this i decided to give Elmo a 30mm body lift . Took a little longer to install than i thought but i got it done on my own with the help of a couple of cans . I adjusted everything that needed to be done and headed bush with him on sunday . The good news is i eliminated tyre rubbing but the bad news was i did forget to adjust one thing that made Elmo stop in the middle of the bush . The fuel line from the lift pump to the filter was real tight . so tight it cracked the lift pump housing ( another on the way ) . Other than a small boo boo i'm pleased with the lift and it does make Elmo look a bit better too .




    BEFORE

    AFTER




    Elmo will get a bath when going again

    Have you noticed any changes in gearing after you fitted the 32s?

    Hi Tim , yeah there has been a little change but not a great deal . with the bigger tyres it has lost a little power down low in high range . But can't notice it in low range .
