Bulli - why Maxidrive rather than ARB?

Cheers

SteveG:
Put Warn 8274 on the front, move Husky to the rear and fit a rear locker. I would fit ARB locker with Ashcroft halfshafts in the rear. Might have a few pence left over if you fit it yourself :wink:  :wink:

MaxiDrive halfshafts and lockers front and rear with uporated CV's will chew all of your 2K on it's own and as Mal is selling the company - I wouldn't buy it until I knew company was going to a good home for support etc.

Cheers

Steve,

not sure I really need a winch at the rear.

Liking the idea of lockers though.

On the suspension front what would everyone recommend?

Cheers

Jake:
I like the Scorpion gear personally.
Devon 4x4 have a new range of kit too which is really nice  :wink:

if you go for a front locker, uprate halshafts and CV's.

As for suspension, Procomp 14" shocks have a good reputation, as for cones etc all a bit of muchness. I went for Scorpion front cones, and D44 rear locators. To get benefit of shocks you should look at different mounts. Have a look at Gwyn Lewis's stuff.

If you go for extra articulation you'll need to look at changing out front and rear radius arms for kinked ones to get benefit, longer brake hoses and longer bump stops.

You should budget about 800-900 pounds for all of this.

Have fun spending :wink:  :wink:

Cheers

Steve
