hahaha, except this has more flex stock than most anything that's 'lifted' and they are 33.3's on there too (anymore tyre and it costs $$ to prove it's safe, the registration guys here get stroppy, and I'd have to spend a bomb on driveline upgrades too, but then most lifts are for sho, aren't they
)

I don't usually run them much more than 3-4 months Jake, then on to new homes.

This is how you lift a 4x4....and Stihl would love to match the quality of materials used and the machining tollerences of these

great pic of the unimog Al. Not sure if you have figured it, but the ones I posted are custom made that bolt on the end of a standard Landrover housing. Rear steering an option also. Boxes are SG Iron, gears are EN39b, stub shafts are AMS 1684, all Aussie made 
The Unimog is a bloody brilliant bit of German engineering without doubt.

Nah not up on the Landrover side of things mate, but like Marks for Patrol nonetheless.

Yep, except Mal Storey from Maxi Drive designed and built portals, rear steer and ultra low low ranges long before Marks made their stuff.
Mal has since retired and closed the business, but at least some of his gear is still produced to fix up the <s>stupid stuff ups</s> compromised stuff Land Rover still do.

logger 12345
husqvarna pilot
i myself like the husqvarna,the reason i went with these saws was simply cause i saw most forest workers here in ireland using them and i knew for years of the good name they had,on top of that i get great prices on all my stuff from my local husqvarna dealer and when i ever buy a new saw i get a lot of stuff thrown in!!! so i can't say that husqvarna dealers are money grabbers.
how ever,i never used a sthil saw even though i own a 045av,it's my dads and we are doing it up. but they look good and i would use one if i had to,i think a lot of it comes down to what you are used to,i now wouldn't change cause i know husky saws inside out and can do all the work to my saws myself.
also a husqvarna trademark is user friendliness and useability,less vibrations and the fact that all there pro saws are developed with all the pro loggers around the world had me sold before i even needed to figure out what to go for. :msp_wink:
not even that,it's just the whole package of a husqvarna saw is very appealing.
but when you have used nothing but husqvarna saws it's hard to give an opinion then isn't it
