S'cuse my ignorance but what's unit?

cheers Bull,

im really happy how the blue goes with the black

yeah Matty pretty much summed up Unit

Yeah the Bighorns are awsome bang for buck imho, one of the main reasons i went bighorns aswell was they came 2nd in the 4wd Action comparo a couple of months ago.

what kind of Kms can i expect to get from the bighorns? it will take me ages to get heaps of kms on them as there my play set.

Yeah boi shes looking real good at the moment, She looks like my cars long lost blue twin.
Probably have to do a road trip to the Rade soon so we can go for a drive.

The dirty big unit sticker really sums everything up.


Im looking at selling the old yzf450 and buying... oh dont make me say it.
525 ktm oh shit.

hahaha.

Hey Dan

there Infinity rims in a 15x8s, with a 0 offset i sourced them through Monster Rides, yeah you are correct most 15x8's dont fit but the Infinitys use a "J" style face which clears the calipers. PM Matty or Max from monster rides they will give you a quote.

cheers Troy

Wow, great truck and great work man. I love the attention to detail you put to it. All around it looks very well done... Most of your mods look like it came like that from the factory, and that's how it should be done! Keep up the good work!

I'm also planning on fitting 32x12.5 on my truck. I was wondering though, if I don't remove the swaybar, do you think I would have to trim that much or the same? I have a 3 inch lift on the front (strut spacers) and 2 inch on the back (extended shackles). I must say that this is the first truck that I have lifted and installed bigger tires, so excuse my ignorance (if there is ). Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hey
cheers for the kind words

If you dont remove the swaybar you would probably loose about 2'' of up travel when flexing, however the travel potential is always there so if you hit somthing hard enough the tyre will still come up and hit the bump stop wether you have the swaybar in or not.

If your not wheeling your lux hard then only light trimming would be required but if you plan on doing rough 4x4ing eg: flexing your suspension a fair amount i would highly recomend trimming like what i have done. Otherwise you would be risking ripping the inner gaurd out and ripping off the flare

I know taking to your lux with a grinder and hammer is hard, but IMHO better safe than sorry

hope it helps you,

your rear will be fine they will clear everything

cheers Troy

Mate awesome ride I haven't had a look before but I should have I love the rock sliders and the scantool I am going to add these to my list

I just took my front mudflaps off but I might do what you did

I have to buy another rear mudflap I lost it somewhere

thanks heaps Paw I really appriciate it

whats going on mate...im looking at the date of the last post here, seems like the lux hasnt had many treats for a while

When you see it in action it doesn't need anymore mods other than a SAS

Hey KTM, nice ride! Being brand new to 4Bs you're giving me so many ideas... And making me wonder how I'm gonna afford it all... : / first things first, should get the Lux next week.

Wondering, how's she handle on road without the swaybar?
