I think I'm a contender for panhard rod extensions!

Keith, just had a note from the guys that Gary is buying the panhard adjusters from. See one of my earlier posts on the eBay seller, selling jack screw kits. They can make an adjuster set next week. They must be trying to combine with Gary's order.

I've made other plans, but if you're interested I can pass on the details.

For that matter - the same goes for anybody else wanting to make adjustable panhandle rods.

Are they stainless? If not, ill weld them in myself!

Next question, are they a direct fit or do the panhards need special work beforehand?

Cheers
Keithy

Not stainless as far I'm aware. Think they're regular carbon steel. The only technical aspects are the press fit sleeves that go over the oem rods and making sure you cut the correct length out.

Cool cool

Keith
It is carbon steel but as I do not have an oxy torch to do the heating up before pressing it on I'm going to take it to XLR8 4x4 to get it professionally fitted and welded.
Instructions for fitting can be found on this link

Because I'm only looking for an addition 10 mm or so I'm planning on having the length of the rod with the adjuster at minimum being the same length as the standard bar.

That is a good idea!

Took the Rangie out for a day trip with the local Landy club today. Was a good trip! I rate it about a 6 out of 10 for extreme driving. Pounded the old girl over corrugations and potholes, it kept coming back for more! I'm very happy with how the lift has turned out!

There was another P38 on the trip too!

Ill start another thread with pics and even a P38 failure too! Tune in later tonight to find out what happened ;-)

Good to hear the lift went well.

I'll tune into the other thread for the pics and the failure

Can't wait to hear more about how you went. Will you be getting sway bar disconnects in the future?



As an update on mine. Have got all the pieces cut out, with the d boss cnc cut. And am fabbing up the bumpstop blocks tommorow.

Yeah I will be getting disconnects. The front end is so restrictive! Even if i've gotta make them myself, i'll get them!

Here's my first flex pic - not the best (there were still a few inches to go either side and front to back. I was parked on a pretty mean side-angle with a tree in my grille! Eventually i'll get a proper flex pic...
