Jou suspensie lyk baie mooi.Ek het ook Mikems op my bakkie en is baie gelukkig daarmee.
Het Darrel gekyk of jou voorste as se saddles gelyk is?OP die tweede foto as ek na die vere kyk lyk dit asof die saddle nie gelyk is nie.Ek mag verkeerd wees.

Dit was die klein hiccup bracket verkeerd om en saddle nie reguit nie Darrel het saddle reggemaak en twee nuwe springs voor ingesit na net 500km ,alhoewel ek nie dink die springs het seergekry nie ,hulle het voor skokbrekers ook uitgehaal en getoets

I i had chosen repairable Bilstein i would have been extra 4500.00 i think .Did not see the need as bakkie is used for trips only

Martin, the damage to the fuse appears to have been caused by a loose-fitting fuse or loose wire or contact. I think you would be wise to replace the fuse holder as well, otherwise it's going to happen again.
If you pass this was again, we have those holders in stock, otherwise you should be able to get at any auto-electrical shop as well, perhaps even Midas. Just ensure that the fuse is a tight fit and that no water can enter it.

So Martin popped by at the office this morning, and I had the pleasure of seeing the bumper "in the flesh". It even looks better than the photos show. very, very nice indeed!
I was so keen to see it that I forgot to offer him coffee.... Sorry bud.
