Installing Suspension on my Barra Swapped Landcruiser - Barra T FJ 45/ 80 series Ep. #13 

Thanks mate, yep definitely a good idea they are a little flimsy, should have cut the base plate bigger and thicker in hindsight. I'll get round to gusseting them for sure!

Haha thanks Aaron! :)

100 percent! Thanks mate :)

Haha thanks mate, wouldn’t be caught dead on a four stroke!!!!

Cheers Nathan, I'll see if I can get the video done next week to give you some inspiration!

Cheers Geoff :) !

Thank you 🙌🏽

Thanks mate! Sounds like an epic build, must have a bit of poke!!!

Hey, your more than welcome to have a look. Also if I can give you any advice with all your OEM hardware is buy a small sandblasting cabinet and sand blast them and then use caswell to plate them in black oxide. Very simple to use and very effective, I've used this method on several car builds with great success. Cheers.

Cheers Aaron!

Hahah definitely could be done on the cheap depending on how you did the conversion.

Cheers Andrew, great suggestion I think that’s where I’m heading!

Cheers Ben!

Cheers Rob!

would be if T Hall watched I reckon

Agree. Not the best website in the world.

Cheers Erik, we have some Dramas, there might be a "Richard does structural engineering" episode in the future :P. I will be able to deflate the air to get it in and out but ultimately the garage is its permanent home.

@@DesignedandBuilt I wonder if there's a kit for deflating and inflating tyres like on some semi trucks

Hi David, I have the CIG weldskill 250A MIG and I have the Unimig Razor 200A AC/DC TIG with a foot control. Very happy with both machines, would recommend and buy again.

Cheers mate will get around to it eventually!

Might need to paint it red....

Cheers Benny, I will definitely have a look into it. I would love to do patrol diffs and a custom long travel link setup under something a bit more wild one day! Would love the challenge :)

Will be road registered!

Cheers Ben, I had heard its easy to cut and reweld them to get the angle right! Do you have an experience with it?

@@DesignedandBuilt Rotating the knuckles is not really an 80 thing. Castor plates, drop boxes or arms with built in correction are the go to for 80's. With those arms and the fatter 4140 tie rod, you'll only get a couple of degrees, before the tie rod contacts the arms. Castor plates, reuse the rear hole, so the tie rod drop is half what a knuckle rotation is. See how it drives, unlike Patrols, 80's often drive fine with only a degree or so positive castor. Also, have the total toe, set at negative 1mm, it removes a lot of the twitchy feel and slows down the outside left front wear problem. If you're going to go hard and get air, weld on some braces, from the arm mounts, to as far out as you can, on the underside of the axle tube and CV balls, so far, that's the only place I've seen them bend. Also, thanks for the great videos.

@@aaronnoyb Thank you Aaron, very informative. Appreciate it :)

Next project 😂
