Dit klink vir my na 'n goeie verskoning vir 'n 'after-market' staal bumper!

My ervaring met TJM op my 4.8 is presies dieselfde. As ek alleen ry is hy bietjie stamperig maar met 'n pasasier of twee of vrag ry hy heerlik. Op die oomblik ry ek in die dorp rond met bande op 1.6 bar wat lekker is oor al die spoed hobbels wat die dorp van vol is.

Die agterste bumper is reeds van staal...

Nee wat daai TJM's soek werk. As hulle nie kan werk nie dan is hulle sommer hardnekkig daaroor.

heddi oom mos gese ... sit CAMILS IN ... einde van herragat ry [vra vir Wimpie hoe maak Boezman .. hy kan vrag vat maar sonner vrag ry hy soos n Cadillac

Hi Gents,

If this is a TJM 70MM lift you will need panhard rods and castor correction as well. Almost all the TJM suspension for Patrols is 50mm, and did not have hard, med, soft options. I have been through the exercise and you can confiorm this with Tommie as he also learnt a leason when lifting more than 50 mm.


This might be the reason your troll is not running true. Stand behind the troll and compare how far the left side wheel protrude from the body as comapred to the right side. I did a 90 mm lift and diffs moved by 4 inches.


Incorrect castor can cause the following:

Heavy steering: excessively positive
Road bumps/shocks felt through the steering: excessively positive
Steering vibration/shimmy: excessively negative
Lack of steering self-centring: excessively negative
