They make a heap of difference don't they. Nice job Matt, for the cost they should be done on all lifts really.

Cheers

Two beer fit up. I dropped the front belly guard down to fit my hands in. Removed the swaybar brackets, gave the chassis a quick clean up with a rag. The spacers were fitted and the hex bolts coated with some anti seize. Then I just fitted the swaybar and brackets back Ono the spacers, using the supplied new mounting bolts/washers, again coated with anti seize. Then refit the belly guard.

Nice work. Basic black, always in style. No interference with that chassis weld? One of mine is clear, the other intimate. No worries either way.

Na Michael, all good on the chassis. I fitted mine with the writing on the inside.. I like to not attract comments from road side inspections from the wallopers. But like I said, any prado that's been lifted in the front should have these spacers fitted to bring the swaybar back into line and away from the front struts.

I never looked at this with the 120 and I know there are differences between the struts but I totally agree that it is something that should be done. The sway bar sits perfectly on the spacers.

Just driven to Newcastle for kids sport. Handling great and with the fresh fuel filters and air filter, it's purring like a kitten.. Averaging 9.2 per hundred on the way down here, average speed only 60km/ hr..

Just purchased some LED strip lights. Never tried this before, gonna light up my awning and try and sort out a better setup in the cargo area lighting.

The truck got its 30k service today. The lads used their camera to inspect my oil pump pick up and it looks okay. I got the to change out the front diff oil as well, the truck has been off road abit in the last few months, so it's cheap insurance. The best thing of all is that it's driving great as usual !

Matt, how have you found the Steinbauer module for reliability? Thinking of getting one for my 150 as I had a Chipit on my previous D40 Navara and whilst it made it a weapon the reliability wasn't there.
