Amazing what you can do when you have the tools at your disposal

Have not done much for a while (too busy working at work

)

Anyway last night I got A frame, rear diff and springs all in

I will post pics later

Rebuilt rear calipers

OME rear springs

New bushes and aframe ball joint

Trailing arm with bushes also note the plates which I made from stainless steel

In this last pic is the custom made lower spring plates and spring retainer which will give an extra lift of about 20mm

Hopefully by the end of the week en all the rear end suspension will be in and maybe even the front diff back in

Looking pretty sheckshee

What angle (from up-left to down-right) do you think you will get for articulation?

**agrojnr** · 23rd July 2010, 07:40 AM

Maybe something like this

BUt the springs in the back are a little stiffer

Nice. Bit better than cart springs huh.

**agrojnr** · 23rd July 2010, 09:38 AM

Thats for sure

The rear springs are rated to carry 200+kgs above standard and give about 40mm lift + the spring plates (approx 20mm lift)

I did run into a slight problem in that my dislocation cones don't fit so I will make custom one's

YER she is back on wheels if only for the time been.

Fitted OME springs, custom spring seats, stainless bush plates etc

Looks alittle high oh well

Does not stick out too far

Next will be the gearbox and engine

Now thats awesome looks great to..

**disco2hse** · 27th July 2010, 08:24 AM

Looking damn good.

I wouldn't worry about it looking high now. Once you get the rest of body on and gear in the back it will go down a long way.
