Hey guys, it's been a while since I've shown my pretty face around here...used to be on here way back when it was all a big secret...now everyone knows about this site! Cheers Rick!
The more the merrier, I say.
Anyway, here's an entry from the most isolated capital city in the world - Perth, Western Australia. The body lift has been sitting on my shelf for 6 years, maybe longer before I decided to get off my ass and install it. Thanks to the info on this forum, it took 8 hours by myself in my mechanic's tool filled garage, pretty much trouble free (touch wood - yes, I'm grabbing my crotch).
Still got the 4.56 regear and Tru-trac to go in, but otherwise, it's a 6 year project that finally sees the light of day!
The day after I installed the lift I managed to roll my ankle playing bball and having taken my running boards off many years ago, it's been a bit of an obstacle getting in and out these last few days.
