Cheap I agree but hoping to find out more about the conversion though.....who dunnit, bell housing, gearbox etc from outside parties.

By the way Johnathan, would you mind telling me more about your front suspension setup if you don't mind.

Sure, here goes:

- Its a custom OME pack I made up with longer than normal springs and extended shackles
- Trailgear dropper front spring hanger to correct the castor angle caused by the long springs and longer shackles
- Trailgear shock hoops with 14" travel shocks

To accommodate that I also had cross-over steering fitted as the standard steering setup doesn't work in long travel setups. Longer bump stops, extended brake lines are also a given.

It was a long arduous (and expensive) story to get setup like I wanted it, and to be honest if I had time and $'s I'd still like to change 1 or two things.

The rear is a whole different story, ha ha ha ha...

Thanks. :thumbup: :thumbup:

It's tough doing something for the first time and not having tried & tested advice to draw on.
