Trailer Upgrade - Sans slotted rotors
Bit the bullet a few weeks ago and went Hollywood with the trailer upgrade, bought a set of transtyle 2.5 t torsion axles, landcruiser hubs and stainless steel rotors, 15 inch rims and big tyres, but drew the line in the sand at slotted rotors. I know there are some on this site that like that kind of thing (haha....just for you Scanno).
The axles arrived yesterday, and my old man fitted out the axles with brakes etc while I was at work.
Scanno and Bodie then toiled all day today to pull out the old crappolla leaf springs and fit the torsion axles, while I madly drove around time trying to sort out some flexi hoses to fit the new callipers (slight oversight!!!)....ended up getting sorted out by Pirtek, for a considerable ransom....
ENORMOUS thank you to my old man, Bodie and Scanno, friggen legends!!!! Got the whole job done in a day, from dropping the Whaler in at Mindarie at 6.30 am with the old suspension to picking it back up late this arvo with the new suspension all fitted. Bloody brilliant.
Just a few height adjustments tomorrow and fit the guards etc and she is done.
Thanks again Bodie and Scanno, owe you boys one.
