Getting the clamps off is the easy bit, it's fitting the bloody nose, like a square peg in a round hole

Well,what do ya know, all back together and it leaks at the thermostat housing, haha. Pulled the shit out again, cleaned it up, trimmed the stupid hose, all back.in, no signs of any leaks yet.
The sucker still sits on the steering rack and the bolt, hmmm, made good use of the old hose and puts some bits between it

Had to rebuild my sliders after ripping the mounts off if you want something done right, gotta do it yourself.

Looks like you have some serious suspension travel! Have you measured the travel? Would love to know what the numbers are..

I have either 8" or 9" travel shocks with long arms, and both front and rear tuck into the top of the guard.

Have you fitted the long arms your self? Just wondering how much this mod increases suspension performance from standard/short arms,,,guessing it is quite a lot.

yeah fitted them myself but i did have access to a hoist so it wasn't to hard to do.

They are a MASSIVE improvement over stock if you have any sort of lift, both on road and off, i tend to drive on the fast side and like getting a bit sideways here and there (when its safe enough to anyway), but i can easily sit at 110 on the freeway and not worry about any death wobble even with worn parts(long arms cured my dw), and offroad performance is brilliant, i would recommend them just as a safety upgrade from my experience, but you do need minimum of 4"-5" lift.
