Slipperys 2.8 T/D Kakadu Build

looks great do the tyres stick out from the guards at all?

Yeh a tiny bit past guard on front but have the Scrub Rails so should be ok. I have been looking for aftermarket flares but haven't found anything I like yet !

I just switched to the Km2's 285 70 17... I was going to run the Nitto's but they are actually really close to a 34 and I can't be stuffed with the body mount.

Plus 285's in km2 are legal

Hi guys I have some photos of the Black Hawk upper control arm install.

The arms are easy to install but the crap part is removing both batteries to get the long bolt out.

To do both took me about 3 hours. 2 hours right, one hour left. 2nd battery was a bitch. Cause I tried doing it with it removing battery.


Any questions feel free to ask.

There's alot more clearance in the height of the arm at ball joint. There's some more room sideways to...

I went for a quick off road and on road to check everything. All good. On road the steering seems more responsive/direct.

I get new wheels n tyres tomorrow then I'll get a wheel alignment.


Cheers !

I'm currently on ATZ P3's which a re much heavier than my old D697's. Only in a 265/70 though. I don't need to go any bigger than that.

Keep us posted with what you think of the tyres and arms mate. Also looking to do both later this year.

I switched tyres the Nitto's are a very heavy tire... good reviews on them but noticeably heavier. Would need to do diff gears which I won't be doing anytime soon. Control arm's should be sweet though.

No I didnt fit it, but looking at it afterwards it would be as easy job.

(I have no financial gain just recommending good work.)

Feels better down low in revs, neally no sound difference still has muffler on, cant remember cost but roughly 600 fitted

maybe I'll go no muffler... I want some noise but no drone. Can you forward their details please ? Did you fit it up yourself ?
