They will have to take of the mud first otherwise they will have to fit extra strong load carrying blades to get Bloudraad level

Hi Cassie

Het jy dalk vir my die manne se nommer??

Ek oorweeg om dit ook in te sit en wil prys by hulle kry..

Waar is hulle?? Is daar dalk iemand in PTA omgewing wat dit ook doen?

Post by **CasKru** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:52 am

Hulle is in Eloff Straat in Johannesburg. Dink nie hulle het 'n fitmant center in Pta nie maar verkoop die komponente los ook. Hulle nommer is 011 493 5181. Praat met Darrell

Cassie, terwyl ons nou sit en wag om te sien/hoor, het jy nie dalk nog 'n spaar velling van daai wat jou trokkie nou op het nie? Ek het op Boetman van hulle en is opsoek na 'n spaar. :wth:

Here is another pic...

Took some measurements at the back wheels. From the bottom of the rim to the wheel arch is 790mm. I have to add that I have all the old spares and stuff in the loadbin so I think it will be over 800mm with an emty loadbin.

werewolf · Post by **werewolf** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 5:50 pm

Awesome, looks really good. Very nice clearance front & especially the back.

We will see how your van performs next weekend.

Looking forward too that. Huge difference at the back.... the departure angle.

Here I tried to superimpose the fotos... you can sort of make out the difference....

Yeah you can really see the difference. If you check out the rear of your van with the other photo, your rear bumper is a full tube and a half high.

Congrats

Hy lyk great :thumbup

Ek is bly die rygerief Is steeds beter.......ek het nie gedink dat jy sal kon verbeter op wat jy gehad het nie.
Nou moet ek net in my kas gaan soek vir daai nu metro 3D brille sodat ek jou trokkie mooi kan sien.

Yes.... I think I see the difference. Darrell has washed off all the mud for you thereby raising the vehicle body!

Crafty move, that!

Looks very good Cassie and I am sure there will be a huge difference in ride comfort.

He he he, looking really good, was by Darryll this past Friday and he mentioned you were there,

I'm really happy with his product vs price, and this past week at Heidelburg proved outstanding

Post by **CasKru** » Mon Apr 29, 2013 7:23 am

So on Saturday I tried to park Bloudraad on exactly the same spot and take a photo from the same spot for a comparison...

Before

After

Also went for a lekker long drive on Saturday and it is most definitely a softer ride than before. Also cleaned out the rear hubs and when jacking up the bakkie, I had to jack it much higher than before to get the wheel of the ground so it is flexing better than before

Donkey · Post by **Donkey** » Mon Apr 29, 2013 8:39 am

The difference is very visible, just by looking at the top of your truck vs the window frames. Did you put extended shackles or just new blades?
