After finishing this we remembered to take some more after pics.

Next it was on to a test drive. First concern was the massive rattle from the rear shock. This turned out to be because we didn't have the nut on the bolt through the rear shock. A slight noise in the steering which will be investagated later. A litle bit hard to get into second gear and could not get it into reverse. But all up very happy drove well and height was great.

Managed to fix the problem of reverse the next day by adjusting and tightening a bolt on the transmission lever. This is temporary as it still hits the 4wd shaft so will try and make a custom gear lever.

All up a great day and a massive thanks to El_freddo, I would not have been able to do it myself. The personnal satisfaction of working on your own car puts a big grin on your face and the 2 inch lift at the end and even bigger grin.

Thanks El_freddo.

No worries mate! It was a pleasure to do, I too enjoyed the satisfaction of the final product once the lift was installed.

Now for the bigger tyres :twisted:

Cheers
