Replaced the plugs this morning. Having pulled them to check them a few weeks ago & put them back in with anti-seize compound, it was quick to get them out this time. Replaced the OEM (probably original), plugs with NGK Iridium IX ones PN: lztr5ix-13 This set of 6 cost me what the local shops wanted for just one. They aren't the double platinum of the OEM, but I will see how they age.

All gaps checked, the OEMs were at their max opening of .053" the replacements came with the minimum of .048".

Pics to compare the OEM coming out with the new ones going in. The tips were mostly a clean white, so they seem to be still burning well, no fouling or running rich. The dark brown of the threads is from the anti-seize compound, the light brown is old mud... The whole engine looks that colour from the original owner... Anyone know some good stuff for cleaning off really well baked on mud?

Well busy two days thanks to Victor (SBR Offroad!) what fantastic supply and after sales service! Even included a mercy dash on a Saturday to supply an unexpected rear trackbar bracket!
Started off fitting a Poison Spyder front an rear diff covers but with my Solid adjustable trackbars both front and rear wouldn't fit! So fixed front with a Teraflex Monster front trackbar and the teraflex rear bracket with stock trackbar. Had to press the bushes in with my vice but got there in the end.
Then made up some custom swaybar discos with factory rear links at the front with the bushes removed, mounted to teraflex pins! (again thanks Vic!) then made some chassis brackets to secure the links and swaybar when discoed. Very happy and ready for Harvey tomorrow! Unfortunately too dark for front pics when I finished!
Matt
