Re: GOOSEMAN'S HILUX
Have you got a load on the back or is it just the way you are parked...to me it looks like the back suspension is a bit low. Nice Bakkie

Re: GOOSEMAN'S HILUX
Thanx for the kind remarks!
- Yes the suspension need some attention at the back.
Everything looks in place as far as I can see. Any advice?

Re: GOOSEMAN'S HILUX
Adriaan, that's a really nice looking SFA you have there. It's possible that the old original springs are a little tired and need replacement. The single most important modification you can make to your vehicle would be a suspension upgrade, more important than a diff lock IMO. A good off-road suspension will give you greatly improved articulation and therefore better traction, as well as improved ride height. Here is where you will get a whole lot of differing opinions as to what brand is better .... read up on topics that cover these issues, and you will find that most of the more experienced guys prefer 'Old Man Emu' kits, but that 'Mikem' is also a decent option ..... at the end of the day it's your choice. Good luck with that.

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
