Platinum Member Maverick23 Posted August 5, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted August 5, 2015 Glad to see that Stewart's Rubi found a really good home ... Well done Bob :great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Maverick23 Posted August 6, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hi Bob What made you choose this specific suspension? I think this is a first for a 4.5" lift (in JOC) and the RS is a serious system ... just curious as always :glasses: PS glad that you got the leather option you wanted after all :great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Oddball Posted August 6, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted August 6, 2015 Loving this lots. Going hunting for your other build threads - that receiver / bumper combo is just what I am after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grey thunder Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I had a long chat with Paul at aev i put a lot of questions to him regarding all the expeditions iv have done along with the experience in hot and very cold climates. .most of the answers I got where very positive. I would have gone for the 3.5 but I need ground clearance when towing my expedition trailer. The trailer come in at 1500kg loaded so with that extra waight on the rear I went for the remote shocks ... Its a bit of a pig to fit on the drive but doable if your ok with the tools If your doing it on your own like I am you can add an extra time to fit it . :great: Stewart did a great job on the rest of the rig so I'm just going to carry on that work , it's not for every body be cause of the cost but it is your own Choice .

Platinum Member Maverick23 Posted August 6, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thanks for that Bob ... with your experience it all makes sense :great: Had a closer look at the pics and noticed some new rear corner protectors ... are they the AEV ones? Look really good and go well with the petrol cap cover. Really looking forward to seeing your expedition JK when its finished/ready ... what else is in store (I wonder)? :alien: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thought your JK build was going to be using all Australian components :scratch: Why the sudden change to AEV? Good looking build and some excellent pictures as it happens :great: Going to be really impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good looking build and some excellent pictures as it happens :great: Going to be really impressive. I was looking at the iron man but as I said earlier this was Stewarts rig and it deserves to carry the theme on with the aev .I hope that helps. I still think the iron man kit is good and I would recommend it .why did you decide to go with aev on yours ..? Was it to match the rest .
