I have a 12,000lb Warn winch plus the steel bull bar plus driving lights...standard torsion bars really weren't up to the task so ordered some 36mm I think rock crawlers from the states....then broke the bracket that strengthens them and cracked both lower control arms around the insertion points....so had to re do the lot to beef it all up....bullet proof now.
HDJ100 by chance?

I had a place one hour south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula and at Cape Schank dusk and dawn the roos would be as thick as flies.....I stopped driving the little sports car I had at those times and just drove the cruiser at not much over 40kph....it was mad...heaps of bad accidents along there at those times...roo strikes 5 times a week easily.


i know that stretch well enuff to avoid evenings if possible

Lucky yours had some conduit around it, I found a Telstra line under a stump the other day - no conduit just there in amongst the roots. Amazing
 
Thanks for the nightmare pics, ruined the day now ! :rare2::cry: lol

Gas should be 600mm deep, doesn't look that deep Derwoodi, that tungsten chain must be handy too, must chop out cutter bars
using them in that cr*p. ?

Haven't heard a truer word re Telstra 460, I took out an old lead covered phone line couple of years back in Maffra,
flat out being 125mm below ground level.....cost close to $100 for repair which was cheap to some since.

And hanging it on Toyotas, very funny for a pommy wanna be who drives a horse cart with a motor at 100kph on a good downhill coasting
with a tail wind.......lol

I bet ya even eat cucumber sandwiches and have a tartan car blanky with a woven cane encased thermos :drinkingcoffee:
 
For the price of those things you shouldn't have to do that **** obviously no fit for purpose

You shouldn't. But it's a compromise suspension. More than 95% of the time is spent on the road and the IFS kills the live axle on the road in every way....but durability and suspension travel suffer....for what I use it for it is now ideal.

Don't think so mate and don't have to to weld half a d9 under it to cart a bullbar around and some lights around
