Ok I have been looking at bring the lift in from Australia but after doing a lot of research I am going to have to scrap the idea. Because the vehicle needs to be certified, all the parts will have to under go tests, for safety reason (because this will be the first one in the country). I hadn’t realised that no one else in NZ had this lift (that is certified anyway) so my revised plan is:

Current modifications

ARB deluxe front winch bull bar
ARB side bars
Premier 9000lbs Winch
ARB rear Airlocker and compressor
Heller Rallye 4000 spotlights



Future modifications

Tires
Onroad
315/75/16 BFG A/T’s
Offroad
35x12.5/15” Simex Extreme Trekkers
http://web.simextyre...mex-offroad.asp

4” Tough Dog Lift (sits at about 5”) (hopefull I can get it in about 6-8 Weeks)

Kaymar or Opposite Lock rear bar with twin tire carrier with work light

Sam, have you talked to Ryan(Rhino as the boys call him)at Snake about the lift and engineering in NZed? He's a heckuva nice guy and since you are the first wanting one he might do something.I don't live to far from his shop in Peakhurst and he's building me a diff guard for the Grands' 44A...

Not properly, there are other people in NZ with "Megalift" suspension but according to a LVC they havent been certified yet and told me that being the first would be expensive, especially if i cant get the appropriate specs. and as i am on a limited budget i am going to go with a local guy who sells and fits Tough Dog, they guy knows his stuff and currently competes in dennys4x4 challenge. he has offered me a good price which i cant beat (about $1000 cheaper) and the cert is guaranteed to be hassel free.

same lift as what is on the Australian 4WD mags 100 series crusier.

[NZ]

[Toyodist]

well this is nissan related, just read that advanced adaptors makes an atlas 2 case for titans now they go all the way up to 6 to 1

[cugazn]

yea thats pretty cool but its been a pain in the a$$ to find alot of performance items for my xterra all i really need is maybe gears a front and rear locker and winch and new bumpers front and rear and it will be a good rig it is right not but it will be better im tryin to see what it can do stock before i add all the traction aids so when i finally do i will beable to use it to the most
