Rob,
How much did you drop your front diff by?

Did you have to notch your cross member to clear the front diff?

I dropped my first 1 35mm and had to make a complete new cross member had no issues dropping it that far, truck was tall though, this 1 i dropped 25mm and just notched the cross member, the photo of the cross member is above

Nice, when I did my drop I only went 20mm which only means minor mods to cross member.

Yea everyone has there own measurement of how far you can go and what works, i shouldve done this one 35mm also but its done now and works good

finally finished the bar and fitted a winch, also has tow hooks and led lights

Drove past you in my mu as i was heading down from tukino skifield and thought the truck looked familiar, very nice truck you have there man

Hey buddy,
Nice wagon ive been watching it change weekly, i'm Mike from the workshop round the corner. Where abouts did you get the rear locker from?

Cheers

yes i saw you up there also was boring in 2wd all day, my truck is brown now, did some river driving and other tracks, have snorkle and other bits on order also

yea the mods take awhile, but have 3 months to finish it, i got them from usa, i have a spare rear and front diffs with lockers fitted 4.3 ratio
