Just gotta figure out how to post up mid to high res pics and I can get started or you can see my build up thread on 4wda, but I gave them the boot, so stay tuned.
I'm about to start the rear end after doing the full front end and suspension all round,see 4wda thread.
So the rear end will be as follows
IFS width axle housing,strengthened
Chrome moly axles
ARB air locker
4.88:1 C&P
Disc brakes with caliper parkbrake and adjustable prop valve.
Modified lower shock mounts, different lower inboard shock mounts to suit existing Bilstein
12" inverted shocks.
Pics soon........stand by

Haha, classic..... recall smecall. Besides all the olde girls are rock solid.

I've worked for most of the car makers over 27 years and Tojo are still one of the best.


But I like olde school dungers, where you can find most spare parts on the side of the road.
The youngest car I've ever owned is a 95' Hilux. I'll have to get some pics up.
Most of the work is done (see 4wda forum)
but I be on here from now on.
Cheers Andy

To electronics in cars 'Australia says NO!', well I do anyway.

One or two bro, You have missed 2 years of build, but they are bigger than the crap meg limit on this site, so no dice from me and my very shite computer capabilities. I will have to wait till I see my teenagers again so they can teach me how to load High Res stuff.
Anyway tonight I went about bracing the IFS rear axle housing and made an armour plate for crown wheel protection. Pics soon hopefully.
Cheers Andy
