bupalooga did you sort a front camber kit? 

 

as for the rears on a ute they should wear pretty much dead flat like mine do.

Got them all from eBay which I'll post a link for later. They fit perfectly and look and feel amazing!74da38b323240c0ef48424cfb9cba277.jpg1f971742e36cd14b59597e1032a8e8f8.jpg

@Admin (as if) - I'll post links to mine once I receive my replacement handbrake boot (assuming this one fits).
@bupalooga - for number 2, that's exactly what my FG did and was the brake switch. 2 min job and cheap. But the symptoms are drastic

Had heard previously the brake switch was a common problem, & have just ordered one.

Haven't looked into the camber kits yet, will get to it sometime this week hopefully.

Here's a link to the seller/listings, however the all black stitching versions aren't listed for the handbrake handle or shifter boot.  I just sent them a message and they arrange the listing for me so that I could buy all 3 and combine shipping.

 

Handbrake:

I did some exhaust adjustments today with the help of a mate and his hoist. 

 

We took about half an inch of length from the cat section to move the rear assembly forward, cleaned up and reseated the front pipe from the dump and adjusted the twist to get the rear tips level.

 

It worked out perfectly and we had a good time testing it on some loose dirt roads, with the dsc off, to make sure it wouldn't contact the undercarriage.

Haha no worries, I'll leave you the house keys and the kids and go for a holiday myself!

 

@El Andrew the trans pan showed up today in one piece. I thought it would be similar to the 6r80 pan but they are quite different.

I think either would work on a zf. The 6r80 pan has more volume, from eyeballing it. You might need to use a 6r80 filter too? 

 

I'll have a look at it one day and see what the go is. 

 

Also I think I at least owe you a beer cos that was some expensive ass postage!
