Hello all-wise JC community, I'm looking for a quick look-over / any tips on an upcoming project. I'm ready to swap the old 202 in my '81 SLX for a 304, and I've had the chance to pick up a bog stock '95 Stato with a 5L in it for a great price. I'm 99% sure all the running gear will be the...

G'day all, posting this question to help a mate who's rebuilding a VH SLE. He picked up a nice straight body (minus engine and box) with what looks like a VL rear axle/diff in the rear. He's just about to drop a 253 and trimatic from his other VH SLE into the new one, and was just wondering...

Gday all, I've got a Q: Went to get some quotes on springs and shocks to lower the VR the other day, ended up down at Stable Suspension in Pooraka speaking to the bloke there. He recommended I go with a new package that Monroe and Kings are doing at the moment. It's a short-shock and spring...

Just thought I'd ask for some opinions/help on dealing with intense jealousy. My mate rocked up today at my joint.. but instead of the cruddy white VR exec ute pulling up, an immaculate, 1994 all original, 120,000k, 215kw 5.7L, VR GTS is parked out the front. God it was an awful feeling.. I...
