Thanks mate. All I can find is "rear brake upgrade". WELCOME TO HOPPERS STOPPERS BRAKE UPGRADE SYSTEMS
Is this the one you did? And roughly how much? I am hearing around $3500. Also, do the rear rotors they supply widen the rear track at all, as they look different (wider) than stock? Those callipers are huge!!

Also do you have any links to the booster and master cylinders you bought plus the added plumbing/fittings etc?

Yeah, the tyre fitter struggled a little to get the new mags on as they were a "machine fit". Pretty happy and rated to 2200kg per rim.

Thanks again.

No link you need to call its a kit to suit a VDJ7* master cyl and boosters about 700 odd bucks that rear brake upgrade is only for mining / HD constAnt load set ups

I have been in Tassi 4wding since Saturday
The recent mods have worked a treat

Running off tyres offroad at 12psi and just walking over everything the traction is just amazing, the EFS 75mm lift is great done a lot of rock hopping and yet to hit anything
Was on sandy cape beach run, soft soft sand able to cruise at decent speeds no lack of power now fully loaded it sits about around the 20psi mark full noise exhaust temps actually get higher quicker on std tune at 12psi than the performance tune at 20psi go figure

Op Diff breathers extensions and safari snorkle were worth every penny it has seen that much deep water in the last week it's not funny no shortage down here in Tassi !!

Should have some good picks when I get back late next week

So they are the 35's on 17" rims? They look good and 17" better for bigger tyres 35"+.

got back Wednesday arvo, great trip got to see heaps

car was great, unichip has made it alot easier to drive 5th gear will easily pull up any hill.
the rims and tyres performed flawlessly, the build quality of the rims is superb they fit the factory flat washer wheel nuts to the mm and fit snug over the hub like a factory wheel

decided to head out to my old stomping grounds ( toolangi )
to see what it can do before i throw the GLX rims back on
im fairly sure it was its first time there, i was always scared to take it there just so big and heavy not like the old BJ70.

it went great nothing broke and didnt get stuck straight up the middle of rocky and lyndells, never been able to do that before and they looked in worst condition than ever, i actually thought i was going to either get stuck or face plant some rock ledges but nothing more than a rear leaf spring banging a rock, ran tyres at 17psi looked like a happy medium i tried to avoid the mud holes as i dont fancy forking out cash for a starter or alternator.

a few photos

Thanks

So far the wheels have preformed great, they are a second set only so have been off since toolangi a month ago, I think the style and colour suit the 4wd well

The XTR 3" lift has been great sits fairly level both loaded and empty has 300 KGs constant springs in the rear and the medium duty in the front ( only ones available for the 3" EFS )

was fairly happy the EFS Elite 2" lift in it prior either but it only had 150kg rear spring and did sag when loaded up, and ithad done 100k since being installed so I'm guessing the shock would have faded a tad.


Not much more now, awaiting an aroura light bar to be delivered so that will go on

Prior to Cape York next year I'm hoping to sort a canopy
Still undecided about a front locker yet to need it the rear one does well

A few updates,
Uneek 4x4 bull bar
Monsta Led light bar

Build quality of the bull bar is second to none
The light bar pumps out similar lumans to most double row units

Took this photo a few weeks back on a 4wd trip. Lots of fun to say the least !

This is typically it

I was going to have a lift in lift off canopy made but eventually I'll need a dual cab so not worth spending any more cash on it
The only thing that stays on week to week is the black steel box
