Thanks to Vic @ SBR Offroad for the super awesome service! Hope your having fun in Harvey mate.
qwerty, do your stock 17" rims still fit with the currie tie rod and do not rub at full lock?

I don't have stock rims, mine are AEV Savegre (4.7BSM , +10mm Offset), Had a quick check with Vic for clearance on the AEV's when i picked it all up and it looks like heaps of room. I'll post a photo once it's all done if you like. Let me know and i'll throw a stock wheel back on there and post that as well.

PS i want to pick your brains some time in the future about the 5160's and the currie antirock rear swaybar. you seem to have a very similar mindset on setting up the suspension to me. That is maxing out the down travel while keeping the stock bumpstop length and around a 2" lift.

the 4.75" BSM will work fine apparently.

The stock rims I reckon may be another issue. Will probably fit but scrub on the tie rod at full lock.

I got a gut feeling you'd get away with it due to the bend in the Currie ends. I'll take a photo with the stock wheel on there tomorrow.

Went for a casual drive today ended up ripping the steering stabiliser off and craking open my factory side steps...
So at this point Im thinking about relocating the steering damper... Any steering relocation kit or is there a preference out there?

In preparing for a trip this long W/E I picked up a bushranger wheelie bin. Will be great for throwing dirty, wet gear in.

Due to the new BS of the steelies I put on, the rear door rubbers werent long enough. I came up with an innovative idea (which I'm sure i saw somewhere on here and ripped off ). Would be good if i could find a tennis ball in black though

Also drilled and tapped the number plate over the winch opening of my front DBOR bar. I didnt like the number plate bracket, and now it looks much more refined and gives the bar the impression of even more clearance.
