Looking good man have to go for a run soon!

[Toppy]

For sure man as soon as I get my front end sorted lol

[Winga]

Whats wrong with the front end?

[Toppy]

Swivel hubs need doing and I have a scary clunk in the front in 4WD.

[Winga]

Good fun lol

[Toppy]

Lol, not for my wallet

4inch lift is the right height in a GU.

[Toppy]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking as I use mine as a daily as well.

[Fatboyz inc]

Nice wagon, I am with you guy's on the 4" being a safe hight lift for a daily, have you fitted a winch to your Xrox bar yet? I am interested as we went to fit my mate winch to his only to find we need to get a winch plate to fastern the winch to as I am not willing to take the risk pf mounting the winch to the bar as it is only 5mm thick and I would mount a winch to anything under 10mm. Interested to hear what everyone else thinks to.

[Toppy]

I don't have a winch yet but I will be getting one soon though. I'll have to sus out that plate issue. Cheers

[Oldmate]

Nice looking truck mate. How do you ind the xrox for strength etc?

[bigrig77]

hi

i have an xrox bar on my gu with winch fitted haven't had any issues , also struck a few roos (not any large) with no damage. cheers.

[Toppy]

Yeah they seem okay, Ive leant it against rocks and walls a few times ant it takes it pretty well

[tailpipez]

nice truck man. that clunk that your talking about in the front end, is it when you turn your steering left and right ? i have same set up with 5" lift and when i turn side to side i get a loud clunk from what i can see it looks like the springs reseating no really sure tho.

what do you think of those s Amarda extreme shocks? are they real soft or do they hold the weight of the truck and what length are they at?

[Toppy]

Thanks mate, actually up for sale but the only reason i'd let go of it would be for a TD GQ. To be honest I am unsure of the length. the clunk is when load is taken off the front end then back on, almost sounds like shocks but they are pretty new. I love the Amaradas but I think they need to be re-valved, the front end is a bit too soft.

Hey Toppy were you running the 6inch lift the day of the show and shine meetup down the bay.

[Toppy]

Yeah mate, whys that?

[gottheshits]

I just remember looking at it thinking that it looked pretty tough.

Made mine look real short though lol.

[Toppy]

Haha It needs some toughening up lol, what one was yours mate?

[gottheshits]

I had a couple of kids bikes on top.Pretty sure it was you I dropped in on on the convoy down. First to join convoy after you.

Was parked next to the air bag man.

Different username on here. New name suits me better lol

[Toppy]

Oh yeah I remember, looks like a good set up man

[Toppy]

So I ordered new AVM manual locking hubs and a swivel hub rebuild kit with wheel bearings so I hope this fixes the noises so I can hit up some fourbying again!
