Looking good dan!
You'll love the EJ!!! L series (4wd one's at least) should have come from the factory with 27 inch tyres, 3 inch lift and EJ22. A well tried and tested setup!
130,000km on the EJ is still a baby - especially for a conversion. I was lucky to find one at the wreckers with 124,xxxkm on it. Since then I've done about 40k kms with it and no major issues (touch wood).
Keep the pics coming - its what we love around here
Cheers
Bennie

yeah no worries mate. heres a pic of them mounted and how it looks, I wanted to put them long ways but they ended up being to low down so i mounted them upright, also cause I didn't wanna cut anything.angosurf_81@hotmail.com wrote:hey Dann,

6/9 speakers mounted in rear door by Dann_Evans, on Flickr
The next pic shows the backside of them on the panel, I put thin MDF on the back to take up the room inbetween the panel and the door, to stop vibration. And to strengthen it.
rear side of the 6/9's by Dann_Evans, on Flickr
And the third pic is of the in side of the door i had some sound proofing lying around so i put that in aswell, (really does help) and if you can see i have taped all the wires and anything that can rattle down so if you tap the back door you can't hear all the rattle from wires and shit.
I also had to screw the panel on because if I didn't, the speakers are so heavy when you close the door they fall off.

Hope that helps abit

Yep.. if you're using the Liberty Steering Rack in the L.Series Engine Crossmember then you'll need to use both the Tie Rods and the Tie Rod Ends from the L.Series Steering Rack and fit them to your Liberty Steering Rack. If you're going to use the Liberty Engine Crossmember in the L.Series (and convert to 5 stud), then you can use the complete Liberty Steering Rack without modifying (so hang on to your Liberty Tie Rods and Ends)Dann wrote:ok awsum one more thing i've got sorted

haha.. sorry Bennie Top Secret Stuff.. LOLEl_Freddo wrote:Ok I'm intrigued!
Bennie
Nah.. just kidding, these are the part B to Dann's lift kit, these brackets are for the rear K frame. It's designed to stop the flex on the front bushing. Part C and hopefully the final to the kit is the rear bump stop mods but we'll need to wait to see what sort of wheel travel the car has after Dann does the rear strut conversion like you did to Suby Ruby (unless you know off hand?).
No probs Dann.. will need to be Monday or Tuesday as it's that time again.Dann wrote:Yay. Might pop down next week sumtime:).

liberty seats into the L series
hey john the way I did it was that I used the original top hole(front of the seat holes) and drilled the appropriate hole corresponding to the bottom of the l series seat tracks, As everyone says pictures speak a thousand words, the picture below is of the difference between the liberty and the l series seat tracks (liberty-right with the red dots and L series- left with the green dots)Wagonman wrote:Hey,
With those Lib seats did you just use the same frames and drill four new holes??? Im asking cos im doing the same to mine 'shortly' (sometime this year)..
this is the passenger side (the easy side).

The second pic is with both L series tracks installed and the old hole at the bottom in red.
l series seat runner in place by Dann_Evans, on Flickr
For the driver seat it's abit different because you have the raise and lower mechanism, the top (front of the seat) bolts are easy they just come out but the bottom is different because you need the bracket that swivels when you raise and lower the seat, the image bellow shows the bracket that you need, I had already taken it off so i just used paint to show you the position it was in. With this bracket it is spot welded onto the track at the bottom and like crimpt at the top, just cut the little crimpt knob off which should pop out with a metal punch or sumthing similar though a big hole you can see in the picture, next you just need to separate the two pieces, I used a chisel to get down to the spot weld and a hacksaw to cut it, you can pretty much do it what ever way you want you just need to get that bracket from both sides.
bracket liberty mount by Dann_Evans, on Flickr
The next image is of the L series track bolted at the top (front of the seat) and the bracket you cut off installed in the original position on the seat and how it all lines up, the red holes are the crimped knob that held the liberty track on and the green hole are the new holes to attach the L series track on. I'm pretty shore that i swapped the too brackets around so i put the left one on the right and the right one on the left otherwise the tracks don't line up, if you look in this image and the last one you can see how i have positioned them, the bigger one is on the left and the smaller one is on the right. mabey i didn't swap them?? haha forgot lol but you should see there only one way to put them on.
old and new hole l series bracket by Dann_Evans, on Flickr
The last image is of the L series tracks installed on the drivers side the red holes are the old original mounting points and the green ones are the new holes with a small bolt holding it, The bolt can't be too big otherwise it will interfere when you put the seat down.

Ok well that my way of putting liberty seats in an L series, I know other people have welded things and cut things but I found this way to be pretty straight forward tell me if you get stuck and i'll help as best I can.
