Halfords Dog-Taxi

Works well

Nice! Do the same with my Samsung S3 works like as charm.

today I popped over to HastieKid for some generous FOC 1.5" spring spacers that he'd taken off his truck after having fitted his 3" lift.

here's the HastieKid Truck with 1.5"



when I met up with Ian, he'd changed his mind - and threw in his nearly new shocks (off a 61 plate) with bonded extensions :woohoo:



THANKS VERY MUCH IAN - TOP BLOKE

was keen to fit them straight away, but as insurance renewal is due in Aug, will wait and switch to a 4x4 modded specialist.

happy chappy

Ian is a great bloke ! last time we were out i mentioned my tired standard suspension and straight away offered me his !! obv ive went down the lift kit route as you know.will give a nice little lift that !

i dont think i could wait that long before fitting them but i know you shouldn't. ill be waiting for the pic

couldn't wait :whistle:

put my 1.5" spring spacer and shock extension kit on today.

went pretty straightforward although we did have to grind off the off-side front upper shock nuts. :pinch:

loving the extra 1.5", it does feel much bigger, but as the missus will tell you, we always appear to think it's bigger than it really is :blink:

it also feels like the on-road ride has improved, don't know why that's happened though :huh:

here's some pics

without a lift


original standard set-up


with the spacer and shock extension fitted


how she looks now







also made a little movie of some highlights there's a soundtrack on it if interested (melt yourself down - fix my life)


big thanks to my mate Gary of Jackson-Tyre-Services for his assistance and know-how (anyone interested he's your man in South Shields for tyres, servicing, welding, custom brake lines, lifts, basically anything engineering - PM me if you want to make contact)

Massive thanks to HastieKid for providing the kit, but what have you been doing - this was one of your rubbers







enjoy
