[SRLUXX]

Just abit of fun down at cape Palmerston on Sunday,

[SRLUXX]

Spent last weekend out at cruiser park, what a awesome place haha,

After destroying my bash plates even more and ripping off side steps I decided to give Matty a call and order buds sliders and bash plates

Shame about the 6 week wait Can't wait to get them haha

[SRLUXX]

I thought my lux was starting to get real sluggish and really bad on fuel (600 to a tank)

So went over the weigh bridge and was 2.7t haha.

That's with bullbar, custom tray, tool boxes and tools, I have yet to add on buds sliders and bash plates hah.

Dose anyone know what the rules are if I have an accident and Iam over my gvm?

The gvm is 2.8 I think?

No wounder my springs sit backwards haha

Haha I don't know what everyone else's weigh? But I couldn't get over how much mine weighed, I don't even have that much shit on ahah.

Still waiting for chip it!

[ajh]

Fuel consumption will go down with the chip!

Fuel consumption will go down with the chip!

Funny thing is, the chip is not for this ute.... I bought it some 3 and a half months ago for my old man birthday present.

was told 2 weeks, I cant get a reply or any info, considering i paid 2k upfront for the MK3 with EGT and extra injector drivers for the cruiser, f$@#&% piss poor effort if you ask me.

I wont be going chip it when i do this ute, either HKS or uni chip i cant make up my mind, both seem about the same.




Bit of an update

Also fitted a sprint booster last night, iam pretty impressed with it, off the line it hammers.


Still waiting on Buds sliders and bash plates....


thinking about ordering my new treds soon so i can have a play around and see what needs trimming and how much lift ect i will need to make them work nicely

MTZ 305/70/16 on a 16x8 0 offset sunraiser or something like that.



Whats everyones thoughts on the amanda extreme shocks?

[ajh]

Sorry I meant fuel consumption will go up!

Sorry for the late reply mate, i missed your comment,

My weight was at the tip weigh bridge so i dont know how correct it is. Iv taken my boxes sides and ladder rack off as i have bugger all work on atm, and iam getting just over 200km for quarter of a tank finally

Mine is manual, snorkel, K&N filter, Catch can, 3" exhaust, and run fuel doctor reguraly.

Whats peoples thoughts on running a water/meth injection kit? Iam not running a chip module yet, probably down the track.

Looking into the snow performance kit, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

[SRLUXX]

Just ordered dobbinson 2" raised constant 280kg leaf pack. Hopefully that should carry the loads I want and still be sorta flexy off-road.

Any quick tips on installing? Or is it pretty straight foward. Iv removed leafs from packs before so shouldn't be too much harder.


What sort of rear shock do people recomend?

Want a good quality shock with good open length. Iam lost with brands.



Cheers guys Nixon

Never installed leafs.

I'd recommend Fox, Rekon or Ultimate if you want a good quality shock.

Got my utes 30,000km service on thursday night, picked it up friday morning, got back to work and read the receipt and it said they replaced the air filter (iam running a K&N) sure enough they replaced my K&N with a paper one.

took it back and got the service manager told him what happened and sure enough got straight on the phone to repco and had a brand new one paid for and i went a picked it up.

stocked in getting a brand new one, i was thinking toyota didnt want to know about it and tell me its my fault but they didn't!

I have a 2" OME suspension all round with constant 400kg rear leafs. Not a drama yet and it handles and rides really well. Was $1845 fitted with a wheel alignment

[SRLUXX]

Hey lads,

Got my 305/70/16 KM2s fitted up a couple of weeks ago in a 0 offset sunraiser. Iam only running around 2.5" lift in the front,

I trimmed the body mount back and some of the inner guard but still scrubs abit on the guard.

Iam thinking about winding the MR coil overs upto around 3.5" or so.

Iam running 2" springs in the rear, and was just thinking about putting buds 2" shackles in the rear. I run a fair bit of weight so the rear probably isn't sitting at a genuine 2".

And will up grade the UCAs next year when I have money, and diff drop it early next year.


I realize I will probably split a CV boot a couple of times.

What do you guys think?

[SRLUXX]

Would anyone be interested in a set of DMS coilovers? Adjustable ride height and dampness with billet top hat, heavy duty dobbinson springs,

I have brand new coil seats and adjusters for them Aswell. Iam thinking about upgrading.

PM me if you interested, sersious offers lads. There 12 months old and done 20k km. I'll post a ad in the trading post soon

[BIGFOOTJR]

What are you upgrading too?
