I have been toying with the idea of the twin tubes myself,preferably in chrome molly to keep the weight down over the front end, yes its not cheap,but every bit of weight saved is performance gained . Same with the LED light bar ,less wind resistance,less overhang to get caught up on off-road,and f...

Hi, Have had this car on the road for about 6 years now but it's time to go........simply not getting enough use out of it anymore. It's still ultra reliable and just came back from a fun week on Fraser ..... awesome in sand. It is starting to get some rust in it and I don't have the time to keep on...

Hi. Well I didn't exactly want to start a new thread on this but I have a shock problem with my L too so I though I might slip it in here. I've got a Leone sedan with 2wd sedan shocks. No lift but high 14" Hankook RT01' s mud tires so I ran 2wd sedan shocks to get just a little more lift at the rear...

Hey Forgot. I promsed to post some pics when I finished the front bar. Don't know what happened to the old ones of the rear. Anyway I took another of the back bar. That was on the barge to Magnetic Island last week. Had a good time up there exploring tracks a bit. Caught the v8 on the way home. Grea...

hey mate looks great , if you had a wagon you wouldnt need the tralier haha Went to take my mower to the shop the day. Had to put it in the back of my Honda City as it has more room. The sedan might look cool but as you can see I am already regretting the convenience of my wagon. Will be starting o...

Hi Well for starters , it's no good if the rear suspension tops out all the time. So that will be a good indicator. You'll see what I mean when you actually go to do it.

Any ideas on how i can raise the back of the car? Dude. Very, very simple. Take off the end caps of the rear torsion bar. pull the swing arms out and rotate around on the spline. Don't overdo it though or your CVs will spit the dummy. also can anyone tell me what the little plastic bottle on the ri...

very nice bar work! the allterrainwarriors site explains it those things are cool Thanks. Work definitely has its perks. I wasn't happy with the welding though. It's strong enough but I'm usually a real perfectionist with a MIG. Couldn't find my favourite helmet with the magnifying lenses so used a...

Took some more today. Big holes in the checker plate ends are for the Hilift and the small ones are for shackles. Boot lid only just clears. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3470/3266461966_d9b3a06285.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3453/3266461652_e2c1eacf53.jpg This trailer socket is to plug the ...

Fair effort with the swap too Thanks It was way easier than my last swap. 4x4 XY Falcon running gear under an XB Falcon Coupe. he wiring you're talking about with the dash sounds like it'll be a bit of fun! You could go to the effort of finding a manual 4wd dash centre and shove that in, then try t...

That feature is only in manual transmission unless someone removed it or needs adjustment. Happened in L series and all Liberty/Impreza/Foresters and Outbacks. AndrewT is correct. Hey, Thanks for the explanation. Glad I swapped it over then. If it doesn’t work properly I’ll adjust it. Sounds good. ...

Hillholder

Huh??? How does THAT work???

Pedal box was really easy. Only had to remove the panel under the steering column and the steering column itself but the dash stayed in place. I've pulled a dash out before to replace a heater core. Never ever want to do that again. Like the rear bar Thanks. Should be really strong too. It picked up...

This in response to thread Shufflbag put up a little while ago and is about is the 2WD Auto I mentioned back then. If anyone else goes this way I can say it wasn’t too difficult, just time consuming. Converting a 2wd auto sedan to a 4wd wagon. Firstly the plates to bolt up the “moustache bar” were e...

the transmission tunnel is narrower on automatic Leones. How much lower? Low enough to be a problem? I'll keep looking through the old threads too. Of course it would be so much easier with a 4wd sedan to start with but this one came up and it was so clean for the money and all my running gear in t...

should be an easy swap. If the sedan is 2wd you need to make some brackets up to mount the centre bearing of the tailshaft and some more brackets for inside the boot for the bolts to mount the 4x4 rear end. If it's 4x4 already then it should be a very very easy swap. Has anyone here actually done t...

Hey This isn't intended to be a hijak but I've been installing Dual Battery Systems for over 20 years and this is by far the best thing I've seen. Only been on the market for a few months. They are imported by BLA. (see bla. com for a distributer) http://www.bepmarine.com/High-Current-Remote-Operate...

Hi I've seen nissan 5 stud mags on a brumby before. The guy who did it was a mechanic up in Cairns and he said he had the hubs redrilled to the nissan pattern. I think they were 16" or 17" rims with low profile street tyres. Looked good

Unbelieveable. Saw some clear pics of the your gaurds on P44. BTW my family are all in the Daintree/ Mossman area. I was just up there. I'll email you next time I go up. John at Hooker Dorys in Cairns would be able to steer you in the right direction when you get around to the glassing. He's a good ...

Had a look at the pics on the Crossbred site of your Brumby last night. I see what you are on about now. To make gaurds like the ones in the pics you would have to glue a piece of foam over the whole side (backcut it so it will follow the shape)and taper it back from the wheel arch to the edges of t...
