Hi guys! Thanks for the warm welcome 🤗
New to the whole forum thing and got my fisrt and only L200 about 6 moth ago. Loving it so far!

Got me an 05 warrior. Any colour as long as its black!

Mods so far;
-16x8 flat black and machined alloys w/ 265/75/16 BFG all terrains.
-Lifted the front suspension about 2" (could do with a little more)
-mountain top
-aftermarket doughnut tail lights
-reversing camera (SUPER HELPFULL!)
-welded 2 eyes on the tow bar with 4 ton rated recovery shackles
-wind deflectors x4
-hood bug deflector
-made up a new sump guard so steel frame (stonechipped then painted red) w/ formed aluminium chequer plate

In the works;
-making a headache bar for behind the cab to still be able to use the mountain top.
-have a 44" light bar for over the windscreen and a 22" light bar for on the bumper to go on. Custom brackets half made.

Would like to do;
- suspension lift or body lift. I dont know what's better? 🤔
-winch bumper maybe.. insurance might actually kill me with that on though!

Cant wait to talk to folks more knowledgeable than I! All the best

Welcome @DaleH where you from mate?
Sounds like you are getting stuck in good and proper.
Stick some pics up too, I especially want to see the recovery points please.

Why not do a bit of both suspension and body lift?

Sounds like you work with metal or something!

@123hotchef im from perth. Central Scotland. I am! Im a blacksmith so metal is what i know! Mechanics not so much though so been a bit of a steep learning curve! Id love to do both actually. But dont know where to find the right stuff for a suspension lift, or even what id need to be honest! Ill try get some pics up later for you 👍

nice one mate thanks.

@DaleH @alex200 makes nice lift kits for the rear and he also does a body lift kit now too. If you want to lift the front some more and are feeling adventurous then you can flip and space the ball joint, I have some ball joint spacers for sale too. You will soon be able to see the whole forum and get plenty of info on all the subjects. Perth huh the site owner is from near Edinburgh. What do you make then being a blacksmith?

and a very warm welcome to the forum tell us where your from don't be shy

@123hotchef ah right awesome, thanks. Ill check it out when the full access goes through. I make just about anything. Its different every day. From ornate house gates to steel house frames, do a lot of agricultural stuff mostly.

How long does flipping the ball joints usually take? Just my warrior is my one and only vehicle so cant have it off the road long. Only so many lifts to work i can get!

Ha Ha, So you could make your own truck parts then perhaps, do you work for yourself?

@DaleH Ball joint flip takes about 30mins per side if you know what you are doing allow an hour or so if you do not

If you want to make your own lift shackles I'll send you the measurements so you can get them made before taking your truck apart

@123hotchef yep! Thats what ive been doing so far anyway 😊 right so about 2 hours. Thats ok then! Take it id need to get a wheel alignment after???

@alex200 that would be great! Trying to spend as little money as i can to be honest so anything i can make myself idms a massive plus! Thanks man 👍 shall i send you a message on fb?

No need for wheel alignment just adjust ur camber u can do that urself with a level

Ah nice one @123hotchef how much lift do you get doing that?? Oh, im not self employed. Actually just in the last year of my apprenticeship. So thats a way off 😂😭

a year is nothing mate you must be young! You will get a good inch at least

Yeah @123hotchef but thats till my apprenticeship is over. Need a good few years saving before i can open my own workshop. One day though! Yeah im 22.
I like the sound of an extra inch. What would spacers add??

ball joint flip and a 5 or 10mm spacer under it will give a bit more

Thats not bad then. Did you say you had spcers for sale? @123hotchef

I do indeed mate but you could make your own if you are so inclined

Wouldnt even know where to start to be honest. Like shale wise i mean or hole centers or anything @123hotchef what would you be looking for for a pair??
