You can get away with a pretty fair sized scoop on an FB/EK before the fun police can object. I'm planning on running a Hilborn scoop on the meth monster project. I did the mockup/calcs here:

I suspect that Mr Plod may have been less forgiving with the brother-in-law's ideas for my wagon:

Bonnet done and a few other spots touched ups with some subtle pearl white on the roof

Now for some new shoes (stop the rubbing)
change rear brakes to drums and drop a few inches

More info required Gary.

What size wheels, why the drum brakes and how did you lower it ?

It has XC discs they use the disc as the handbrake and are problematic
Spoke to a few brake places and they all recommend converting to drums
I have a new set that came with a Hotrod project so I’ll give them a go

Cheers, the Show wheels now come in 15’s and as they are blank you can machine the backspace and have any stud pattern
I have 235’s on the wagon on an 8” rim

Well done. Mini tubs on wagon?

No mini tubs just relieving the outer inner-guard has a 4 link going in

Thanks Gazza - if it is of any consolation - I have a 200 series Land Cruiser... the handbrake - I'm almost certain the reason you can't buy a manual one is because of the shocking handbrake... and might leave it in neutral.
It won't hold the vehicle on anything but a slight fall..... as for stopping it with the handbrake - might as well put your hand out the window and show the old "stop" sign... it would slow the big heavy beast down better than the handbrake... at least the warning buzzer goes off if you pull it on in motion.. you wouldn't know otherwise...

Happy days
Getting old has its benefits
Couldn’t find my bonnet letters
So I went to the storage shed and found lots more stuff I forgot I had “score” and some letters
Think I have the wagon covered

Then found the original letters right where I left them. Go figure










Who remembers these
