That's an ARB bar right? Did you get one for a Rodeo? Was it hard to modify for the body lift? I want one. :-D I think its an ECB. Custom made, AS far as modifying it.. Muvit Maddnes, it wouldn't be there without his help!! Thanks man!! pretty much we just made a mounting bracket to go between the bull bar and my MU. lots of welding and a couple of spray cans which all added to 90kgs extra on the front!!

DUDE!!! How long hav u owned a MU for?? have you ben out into the watagans yet?? Im planing a big weekend at the end of the year 4wding all around sydney, watagans, Mt walker and cabbage tree, maybe Vineyrd too, we'll see. Any ways You should come along!!! so far it Muvit Maddness, hes a sydney MU owner as well!! atm im in broome so thats why the trips at the end of the year. ;D Get a hold of muvit maddness he'll be able to corrupt your mu and have a good yarn 4wd related and not! ;D OK now to the Suspension. The Calmini kit repaces the Upper control arm only! The front dif doesn't drop at all! with the increase in the angle of the Upper arm the CV is a greater angle and the lower control arm is lower too. (Hope it makes sence i think im talking jibberish). here's a photo to help: The "blue upper Arm" helps to correct the Camber from winding the torsion bars up,doing this increase the angle of the cv and the lower arm. hope it helps...

lets just work on getting it limoed & locked the weekend your down & enjoy what mother nature has to offer us e.g that insane trench/offcamber track we found in the wattagon mountains that time & had to turn around shamefully. then we'll do a diff drop & draglink mod as well on your next visit. regards muvit
