Terrano without a LOKKA off road isn't very impressive, you'll soon have it stuck with a wheel spinning.

I love my LOKKA it's the best bit of kit on my truck :thumbs

If this wasn't an embarassing enough reason to get one fitted then what is :nenau :lol

Sorry mate :hide:

There's a paving company next door and a dude started working there has a L200 that is lifted high up in the clouds and has 35x12.50x15 fitted. I'm wondering if these were his:nenau

It looks like the A-team should be driving it, cool as :thumb2

How's the truck mate?, have you noticed any difference driving with the different ratio, is it higher or lower?

Truck is fine pal. Have yet to get it up to motorway speeds but did workout it'll be 5mph slower at the same revs.
Feels different to drive, stiffer and the limited slip needs a few miles to settle down. The oil was black and stinking. Nothing like I've been draining out of my old axle.
All good though.
Body lift on Monday too:clap

Awesome :bow

What do you mean stiffer?, and 5mph ain't so bad plus towing that massive gypsy van you have should be easier :thumbs

Great work Blocky :clap

Sounds like a perfect excuse to fit larger tyres... :sly

Need to get another meet organised!

Might be me thinking it's stiffer because of the poly bush kit because they are hard as nails, but it doesn't seem to roll so much in the corners.
It gets of the line quicker too :naughty
Haven't towed yet so we'll find out soon:thumbs

33s would correct it apparently :naughty
2" body lift Monday but I'm thinking a new set of 31s would increase the mph as mine are almost shot.
Well up for another meet :grouphug

Well today I started the body lift.
Removed the bumpers and brackets, loosened the body mounts and disconnected the steering column at the rubber donut. Undone the handbrake cables where it attaches to the underside of the floor.
Back on the floor I used a trolley jack and piece of timber under the body and up it went. Both sides done and bolted up tight.
Made a couple of 2" brackets for the handbrake cables and called it a day:thumb2

 

[Blocky10]

Can you spot tomorrow's job :augie

I'll take some photos tomorrow..
