another update... decided the other day to build a tray... so i'll give you all a bit of a sneak peak. apart from that. my efs rear springs arrived today as well as grease-able shackles. if anyone is interested i can write up a short step by step of what i have done regarding the...

if i have a go at winding it down a bit will i need another wheel allignment?

well i've got 0mm gap atm... don't know what the hell they've done...

well my bars went in today not sure what to think atm as i've done about 25kms with them... wondering first of all how much gap they should have allowed for the bump stop??? and also how much sag i should suspect? they are EFS torsion bars. very bouncy atm... hopefully will settle nicely.

bit of an update i spose. been busy trying to get a little bit of sound happening :D went out and got some sony explode componant speakers and put them in the front. speaker was a 6 1/2" speaker. fits fine for those who want to know. put the pioneer speakers in the back where ashtray was. pain...

nah the bighorns in the pic scrubbed at full lock. joshman couldn't see anything in the pictures that related to offset... but not sure... i think the standard alloys are a +40ish offset so i would imagine that the +24's that you have is deffinately the reason you scrub. there is a way to...

thanks guys for the comments. looks like i might go comfort springs after all... :D

nice job josman. with what you've done i don't reckon i would bother with the barb... why going into the tub though? why not go into the engine bay like everyone else seems to be doing? nice neat job though. should do the trick.

lol... forgot to put the bash plates in my first post... will edit immediately as a high priority :) and zorst is definitely something i'm interested in. power and mean sound haha. although the performance chip is absolutely amazing if i do say so myself. definitely something to look into for...

sorry joshman just read your 2nd last post and saw you are running same tyre as me... hahaha they are around a 32" tyre. and depending on your rims and i'm assuming lift, shouldn't scrub according to my rig..... maybe get bars wound up a bit??? is it sagging in the front? i don't know i'm...

oh dear.... joshman... all i've heard is bad news on the coopers to be honest... haha. but deffinately not first hand experience. i had bighorns in a 31x10.5 on my gq patrol and i tell yah what they are a fantastic tyre. coming up in price too..... apparently though there is a "maxxis BigHorn"...

cheers peter. sound like you know your stuff. and i deffinatly agree with you. nothing is better than knowing how things work. exspecially things you own and may be able to fix. sounds like i'm going normal shocks in the rear :D saves me $80 haha. preter the only thing i'm worries about is tray...

thanks for that aido. i'm in central vic around kilmore area. normally i go to bendigo for anything and not really interested in going to far into melbourne area but certainly seems like you have got a good price. not even considering OME or arb.... i reckon people are gonna get a better...

thanks alphabet for the replies. just wondering if i was to go with the comfort springs and the tough dog adjustable rear shocks, could i just adjust them so they were stiffer once i put my tray on? would this give the similar outcome to just going HD leaves?

thanks guys. @ridgie. now worries mate i'll check it out. :D

thanks for info guys... deffinately gonna get out there and give it a good clean and a wax.

First 4x4 trip up high country jamieson hut crossing on McDonalds track Top of Nobs track more to come i hope.

well i bought my Black 2006 Nissan Navara on 15th of january 2011 for $22,000 with 110,000kms. all ready on it was 4 well worn Mickey Thomson MTZ's, Nissan Steel Winch bar, Lightforce 240Blitz's with blue lenses, 2"blocks in rear and standard torsion bars, TUNIT diesel performance chip, melted...

hey joshman assuming you don't have a 2" lift? only because i have the same size tyre in mtz's and i don't scrub at all. the previous owner of my vehicle did mention that this is the reason why he got the 2" lift. ellsy... easy fix... don't turn? :D hahah... nah looks awsome mate. look like 15"...

mmm fair enough do you run standard suspension???. i drive a falcon for work with a ally tray and never really notice a rattle... anyway... might get a black mark against my name if we talk to much about trays in the suspension section :O but still any more advice on trays would be appreciated.
