Haha... there's been no lotto win for me mate. There's just been alot of hard work, a bit of saving my pocket money and I sold off a few toys to afford the Jeep and the mods.

TCF's Jeep on the left runs a 3 inch lift front and 2.5 inch rear setup on 33's. Because his jeep is diesel, fully kitted out with drawers, fridge, full compliment of barwork, winch, roofrack and awning his suspension is sagged. He's probably only got about 1.5 inches of overall lift. He's looking for a serious upgrade soon, so that will make life easier for him out on the trail.

Gregs Jeep in the middle is a 3.8 petrol and is running 3 inch synergy coils all round on 35 inch MTZ's.

My Jeep on the right is also a diesel with 4.5 inch springs up front and 3 inch springs in the rear, running 37 inch MTR's.

There's not much difference between the two jeeps running 37's and 35's, but there was a huge difference between the 33's and the 35's. The belly height was just too low on the Jeep with 33's and TCF had clearance issues on some of the harder stuff we did. But we still had fun so that is the main thing.

Hi Guys,

Here's a link to a vid that a mate put together of the last couple of shakedown trips to Cobaw and Wombat.

Overall I'm stoked with how the Jeep is performing. Beadlocks, treps, dual batteries, highmount winch and new front bar are all on the wishlist. So watch this space

The difference between theory and practice is, in theory there is no difference...
