Yes mate, definitely. Just be sure to check which way your adjuster has been set. The way I show it is opposite to some others. I found out that an apprentice tech had put the adjuster in the opposite to how it was from factory. Easy job and just be a bit patient. Would like to hear how you go!

@@4wdoffroadpassion yeah recently got the car, and the hand brake doesn’t even work at this point so it was a must fix, I’m only 16 so good to work on the car while I can’t drive it just yet

Hey mate, that’s awesome. Now here comes the fun stuff. Firstly, just be aware the rear body mounts can be difficult to get to if you have a rear drawer set installed and you will need to access the inner rear side panels. It’s been such a long time since we did this job and tbh can’t remember but I suspect all you’d need to do is just try and compare the bolts. As for the body mount spacers themselves, I think they may be part of a diff drop kit? Or possibly just different sizes. I’m sorry but unfortunately I just can’t remember.

Diff drop is different I have the kaon one in the garage. All good cheers

The kit came with everything we needed. They had brackets for the radiator and an extension for the steering column. We used the radiator brackets to relocate and didn’t use the steering column extension as we were able to coax the existing clamp to suit the 1” body lift. I’d also be considering the front and rear bumpers as the don’t raise up with the car. The front bullbar we used some thick pinchweld and the rear was acceptable with the change in height. Hope this helps.

Yep it sure is mate

This isn’t my person vehicle, it’s a mates I worked on. I believe he bought them online off eBay. They’re suited to the FJ cruiser, kit is 1” and comes with all accessories for the job. Just be mindful that you will need to lift the radiator, extend the steering column, the front and rear bumpers stay in place so there may be some fiddling to get them looking right.

No I didn’t need to with mine, I have fitted extended ball joints on my upper control arms and got a good wheel alignment done so there’s no body mount scrub.

@@4wdoffroadpassiondo you need the extended upper ball joints ?

@@jordanmccloy7586 I went with the extended upper ball joints instead of replacing the upper controls arms with aftermarket ones so I could still effectively get the same result and in turn get a proper wheel alignment with the correct geometry.

Haha, nah. Just too busy trying to do the job and not wasting my time with fancy camera work. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Hey Michael, I haven’t got any issues with the 20mm spacer. It actually helps with the geometry and the droop, although if I need more adjustments I can wind up the coils as well. I’m super stoked with the way it is and performs well under all conditions I’ve put it through so far.

@@4wdoffroadpassion Thats awesome to hear mate, how much front lift did you end up getting? Also how thick a strut top spacer did you end up going?

@@mdbacolod I used a 20mm strut spacer and it’s a 3ish” lift all round.

@@4wdoffroadpassion Awesome mate, sounds like a good setup 👍🏼

Yes mate 👍🏾

@@4wdoffroadpassion do u think its necessary for a 3inch lift. the axle only changes like 2-3 degrees?

@@Deenio well off the bat I’ll say no not really but, best way to check if yours needs one is to check what the CV is doing on full droop and decide from there. If it’s fouling on things then consideration should be made. In my personal vehicle I’ve got a 3.5” lift and don’t run a diff drop.

2014 GXL

These are the expedition pack adjustable shocks with heavy duty springs front and rear.

🤣

The ARB bar was just way too bulky and heavy, it also reduced approach angles. Also it covers up and doesn’t compliment the facelift headlights. The AFN is a full bumper replacement and looks like a finished product not an afterthought. I too like Hustler lol.

Cheers bloke, American Racing Wheels, not sure of what model they are as these were bought second hand.

I’m running zero offset rims and two 6mm wheel spacers 👌🏽

The tyres technically equate to a 35” on 17” rims

We welded a nut on the inside of the chassis rail to capture the bolt so we could retain the ARB recovery point. I don’t know of anyone else at the time that has had an ARB recovery point fitted with an AFN bar.

The car was in Neutral for this service

To be perfectly honest, there’s nothing tricky to removing the old ARB bar. The hardest part was removing the retaining screws for the ARB bash plates as they were quite well seized on and slightly rusted. Would also recommend a second or third set of hands to handle the weight of the bar when removing. Also noting to remove any spotlight wiring, winch wiring and uhf antenna wiring.

It’s a two inch lift with long travel shocks, adjustable rear panhard, adjustable rear trailing arms, adjustable upper trailing arms and drop out cone kit. It’s a mix of brands to make all the geometry work properly.

@@4wdoffroadpassion thanks mate, sounds like a frankenstine spec suspention ahaha ❤

@@Tom-lf8hx here’s the video of the build mate, we went shorter springs than the ones we originally installed. It’s still a work in progress haha - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zRGCAv6bYFY.html

He’s also now running 35” tyres with the current set up 👍🏾👍🏾

This is where I want to take us next time we head out bro 😎

@@4wdoffroadpassion I’ve been to a few of those spots but not all of them , so would be good for sure 🤙

Same technique can be used and may help

Factory wheel nuts are a 21mm and these ones I have are 19mm

Hahaha yep that’s it aye bro 😎

It’s at least 20kg less in weight than the ARB and looks 100 times better with the contour fitting the tear drop headlights. Also helps with entry angles when offroad. It wasn’t a difficult decision.

Looks are in the eye of the beholder, but it does look nice. I can understand the weight and entry angle tho, the ARB is chunky as, we are only going to do light 4WD stuff (enough to get me to gold-laden rivers) so doubt I can justify the cost in changing it. This is the first 4WD so its an interesting rabbit hole to go down.

But more heavier is more safer for inroads, isn't it?

@@mohammadnuruzzamanshikder3217 well the bar is ADR compliant and believe me these bars are strong. Weight doesn’t always equate to strength when it’s designed properly. I’ve tested it and had the vehicle on its side resting on the bar with minimal distortion so I’d say 3t of car is more than a kangaroo.

Thanks for your feedback but on my vehicle it’s how I’ve shown. The adjuster screws are universal and depends on how and who installed the drum brake pads last on your vehicle.

Thanks for your feedback but this is how I like them so I am prepared to suffer any consequences.

Cost me $2,450 when I originally bought the bar from Mega Aussie Off-road. Only fitted it recently after having at in my shed for a year and a half haha. No other coat other than a few scraped knuckles 😎

Because the cam bolts were all seized mate. No other option other than to cut the seized lower control arms to access the seized bolts and cut them off.

@@4wdoffroadpassion Wow ok that's a bit hectic! How is the Outback Armour holding up? Can't seem to find much info out there, looking to put a 2" lift on our 150 as well. Is the adjustability as much as you expected? Have you re-measured after everything settled in? I've seen a few people say that their measurements are out by 20-30mm side to side?

mugget it’s a mates car but can say he’s pretty stoked with the outback armour and personally seeing the shocks and springs can vouch they’re a quality product.

Do I need to get different control arms if I lift 2 inches to get my camber correct

same lol
