Thanks. The alloys and tyres (still good tread) were from a scrapyard for £100. Thay came from a 1998 chrome front maverick. I'm wanting to get roof rails for is, like what are on R1cho's 4x4

Get out of town
Roof rails are easy to fit and can be done without moving the headlining if you're posh

well excuuuuuuuuuuuse me lol

ere u might know this, the washer on my droplink (the bit inside the wish bone) has bent down over the nut so i cant get a socket over it, any ideas on how to get the nut off without just angle grinding the drop link as its a fairly new one. all i want to do is replace the bushes lol

What "port out starboard home" got to do with roof rails, Rick

[makeitfit]

Ah well as I be from lower decks, I didn't have one of them there fancy rivnut tools, so took the pleb route and bolted the buggers on from inside after pulling out the head lining
Put a good dollop of goo on each bolt and stuck the head lining back in

Hmmm tricky that as there's not much room in that hole is there?
You could try with a long reach socket over the bent washer and hit it hard with a big hammer and hope to flatten it enough to get a grip on the nut.
OR if I was doing it I'd cut the thing off and get another from the scrap yard
I don't have any on mine and binned all the old ones I had. Perhaps Rick or Adz will have one for you

Ah yes but I bet a nut and washer is alot stronger than a riv nut.
