@AaronFuller-yv9hr they are kings spring. But you can't buy them anymore. They discontinued them years ago

@@cre8ive_customs would you have any recommendations on how to lower one then? My son has bought one and is in the process of starting a a build and I’m just trying to research and help him out.

there are 2 ways. reset the Leafs. Or do an axle "flip". (making it axle over instead of under) the flip requires you to mod the axle. you cut off the old perches and rotate 180 deg or weld on a new perch on the other side, then move the shock mount over enough to clear the ubolt. this is the best way, but is the more involved way. unless you get an axle to mod. then its an easy swap. You will need to drill a hole is the bolt plates to locate onto the spring as the dowel is on the underside. This is what I did before I converted to AWD you will also need to relocate the brake proportional valve rod too as it will be too long the bracket it slides in is on the other side there is a jumbuck group on FB where there is abit of info on the already

it was an good and unexpected lift haha

@@TECH_CraftEr this is a bone stock LST bud. All open. No locks

As a fitter yes total nightmare.

They were H/T. But I would recommend atleast A/T if 4wding like this haha

Don't think you will unless someone does a SAS conversion on one

Thanks mate. I wouldn't take it to that track anymore either, it's alot worse now. You can see a difference if you watch the dax vid. We do the same track

Just tap them out, bud. There not a tight fit. If they are rusted in there, it might take a few good hits

Thanks mate. Stay tuned for the next build. Some vids coming soon

@@cre8ive_customs is it the falcon? 😉

We do have an FG now, but that's the missus car. New build in a 1200 datto

@@cre8ive_customs annnnnd you’re putting a 13B in it? 🤩 I’ll stop guessing, can’t wait to see it!

Definitely not a rotary haha. Only time will tell

I'm not sure there. I was only given the chance to run the mux. No other SUVs

should see this area, but it's big lift and tyre country. there I got my big dent from haha

@cre8ive_customs lol I will stay humble with my little 2" lift and 32" wheels 🤣 Dw I lost some paint last weekend myself lol

Still plenty more paint to lose, haha. Was talking to Dicey. He's keen to do the jeep track. When he's back this way, we should hit it up

@@cre8ive_customs sweet man I'm keen!

Yesss

When were passed by they were. both times

It was indeed mate. Until we made a wrong turn. This is what we didn't get on film. Got abit sketchy at that point. But nobody died haha

Maybe alittle 😋 Need to tee up a weekend to hear out.

Definitely worth the stop in next time your going past

It was, there is alot of history there.

Thanks rolly,

Cheers Rolly, they we spectacular. Wish i got more of the coastline

Will definitely have to check it one day

Good isn't it

it was an awesome trip. definitely alot to see up there, we could have seen alot more, but we really only went there for one reason which was natures window and the skywalk.

There was, indeed, I'm glad I got it finished in time for the trip.

Cheers. Hang around for part 2. Alot more sights

Definitely. Yeah its pretty good intro

No worries bud, when I did this, I even contacted rockarmour and they never responded to me with part numbers or even a kit. $80 for one side that's abit steep.

Late response here mate haha! Thanks for your reply, curious as to how you managed to find the part numbers? Did you remove the bearings prior and measure them? Cheers again mate.

The rear axle is from a libero gt. Awd wagon. It's pretty common in NZ. They are a perfect axle as there 30mm shorter wheelbase and crown and pinion are easily changeable from gsr ratios to evo

@@cre8ive_customs I'm in aus do you by chance know the length of the diff might have to get a hilux diff and shorten it

@tearsz3012 that the route alot go as the hilux diff and alot easier to come by. From memory is like 1260mm. Should be able to find it online easy enough

No worries bud. Glad it helped

Me too had no idea how to get them off currently putting mine on it’s got both arms attached and a tad heavy and screen shotted the bearing page Thanks again :)

Nah bud. I had the evo box locked to fwd. You can run a proton gti gearbox i cant remember 8f the gti flywheels are a bolt in. Or you could get the flywheel machined to run in a fwd box

I can't offer an opinion on the Fortuner, as i dont know what they are like. The mux with a lift and decent tyres would go places. The lack of a locker or even an LSD is the only downside. As mentioned in the video, i drove this on HT tyres, and it handled extremely well for what i put it through.

​@cre8ivecustomsgarage Thanks for your reply. Yea, I settled on the 2018 MUX manual gearbox. Haven't got it yet. Here's hoping it's a good one! Researched adding a rear diff lock and it's doable in around $3G installed. Although in the vid you seemed to be doing alright without it or even decent traction control, which apparently the gen 1 MUX do lack.

I think most of it i picked the right line. Towards the end where it gets to the washouts it struggled. Where a locker or lsd would of made a massive difference.

Thanks mate 👍

thanks rolly, stay tuned for this year's content, we are in the final planning stages of a decent trip for us.

cheers rolly, yeah it looks 100x time better than the alloy bar that was on there

thanks rolly, its definitely better than the clapped-out lift previously.

They were highway terrain tyres

@@cre8ive_customs so it's not for offroad...

It's not the best for offroading, but as you seen it is capable. An AT (all terrain) tyre would be better for better grip

Nah mate. Bolts on with all the panels and lights etc. Only thing you need to mod is cut the factory grill mounts. They dont clear the grill tabs in the headlights

yeah it was good to get out, not very often we all go

Yeah i think it's been a few years for me too. I had my dmax when we last went.. definitely a nice area.

It is indeed. Haven't spent any time on the old girl for few months now due to new shed going up and getting everything sorted around that. But more progress soon

Yeah, it was a good day. Yes, it made the track interesting didn't look that bad when we first looked at it
