thanks

well i have booked a date for a turbo to go on

next monday, but it's just a standed turbo. the radius arms were a bit expensive, plus they didn't give me the right ones !!

but i had allready put them in so they sent me correction bushes, well terriferma wanted $700 for the flares but with delivery from flate dog in UK were $400 i think. you should do it yourself works out so much cheaper

You will be impressed if the turbo is setup properly

if you need help just ask dougal,rovercare or isuzurover they love anything to do with isuzus

when you say do it myself do you mean order the flares myself or make them myself ? I am considering larger offset rims at least neg25 maybe even neg50

so I am looking at flares for sure

In regards to your 4" dobinsons I was wondering where did you purchase them from as I cannot find any

i got mine from dobsions i rang them and they said they will have to make some up for me, i don't think they do them normally

but then also the back springs sagged after a month or 2 and i had to make up some packers to level it

all welded up, just gotta paint it

that bar looks sweet cant wait to see it painted

oh ok so best bet might be to call spring manufacturers such as dobinsons,lovvells,kings,ebach etc etc then....

What have you fitted over the headlights?
You got some more practice welding steel?

i've allways had it on it's like 1.6mm or somthing mesh stuff, it's the same stuff as my front grill, but i gave it a spay when i painted the winch bar. haha well i was getting some practice welding steel but was taking me awhile so i got mate to do it for me

it's a lot different to aluminum, and sooo slow
