I would love to put a roll cage on it, but unfortunately i havent got the equipment to make one, nor the money to buy one. :cry: I do hope to get one at some point tho.

Well i chopped a bit more off the sills at the weekend to try and get the new wheels to fit abit better. Unfortunately they still catch slightly on full lock :evil: :evil:
So i think my only option is to get more lift. As always the best option is the most expensive, but i think il have to get some 2.5" lift springs and that should give me the clearance i need.

Iv got a funny feeling this project is going to bankrupt me :roll: :lol:

Yeah i have got add-a-leafs, but with all the extra weight iv added there probably only giving me 1.5" lift, and with these 33s its just not enough :cry:

would a body lift be cheaper buddy....2"s should do the trick....plus the lift from aal
should be enough...although it depends on anything else that will need changing!

but if you are going for the new springs & don't need the aal i may be interested in them :mrgreen: :P :mrgreen:
