Clayton's Long Arm Install finally happening late this week - Murchison Products

[CRDSTU]

We'll be starting the install later this week on a WG LTD, Gold Coast based customer's vehicle.

I'll provide pics and a small account of how it all goes together over the coming weekend.

Looking forward to getting this thing on!

This vehicle will be mod plated and certified by QLD Transport as well.

Best to subscribe to this thread for the updats and info.

Cheers

I thought long arms were an issue in QLD? Is it all good now? I'm sure it will turn out looking very stylish going off all the other rigs in the Murchison Stable

Hi Stu, Will be interested to see how the mod plate goes as I would like to get mine plated aswell. On an other note do you have snorkels that fit WJ's?? Mine has the HO airbox..

Cheers Mark.

They're only an issue if you dont engineer them and pay the corresponding fee's associated with it.
Unapproved Long Arm Kits in QLD = Illegal

Murchison Installed and Certified Kits for QLD Registered Vehicles = Legal.

As for LIFT HEIGHT that is something else all together that needs to be certified. I've got a hold of a stock WG to get the factory measurments from to perform the lift height allowance measurements - its a complicated 2/3rds rule regarding bump and rebound between bump stops.

We have gone down the right path with the appropriate people and paid the right moneies to become certifiers of the long arm kits as such, its been a slog but we got there. I believe its the way of the future for Solid Axle Jeeps.
The stock pathetic factory arms just cant cope with the extreme angle and get severe bind up when twisted beyond they're factory spec capabilities.

I've got an XJ front end Clayton's Long Arm Kit coming to me, as well as another WG kit and a couple of TJ kits. I really like the strength and simple yet super effective designs of the Clayton's gear. With the TJ's and XJ's they've got a new ultra twisty 3 link setup! Cant wait till that gets here as one of those kits is going on the Brute

Gday Mark,

I'm not sure I'll be able to get yours plated as we didnt fit it but I can take it to my engineer for an overview. I'll need the complete parts list from the manufacturer and installation instructions.

As for snorkels, yes I stock WG ones. HO is no different at the intake where the snorkel penetrates the air box. Do you want me to fit it as well? Happy either way.

Cheers
Stu

Hi Stu will probably get you to fit, looks like I will be heading up to the Cape in the 1st week in Aug. ( can't miss out on Mopar Sunday) So I'll give you a call in a few weeks to book it in. Can you let me no how much, you can pm me if you want or post here.
Waiting on some bush's to arrive that need replacing in my rear 3 link before an engineer would want to look over it. ( not as good as your claytons 4 link setup.) I'm getting good at it now as this will be the 3rd set in less than 12 months.
Thanks Mark
