PedroTerrano Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well here i am. I needed a cheap rocket to spend time at the beach and show the kids some of Moreton and Fraser Is. Bought a 1990 Terrano last year and decided to learn to surf (middle age crisis?). On the first trip to the beach we got stuck a few times so the financial controller agreed to the power upgrade and intercooler for more get up and go in the sand. Since then we have had a bit of water over the bonnet and up the windscreen, the family reaction always amuses me, so i've jacked up the suspension and i am thinking of adding a 50mm body lift and snorkel. I see body lift spacer's are advitised on the net but i was wondering whether the auto shift lever operation is affected, has anyone got any stories good or bad about DIY installation ?

jj big shoe Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Welcome! Body lifts aren't all that difficult, just a bit time consuming especially if you're doing it by yourself. Be sure to spray the bolts (10) with penetrating oil or PB Blaster a few days beforehand. 17 year old bolts aren't usually too willing to come out easily. And AFAIK, the auto shift is controlled by a cable so no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 JJ is right. I just did a 3" Body lift on my 95, with Auto Transmission, and the tranny is cable shifted. No worries on the cable at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep to 50mm, they are still legal, for now anyway. What part of OZ are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you brought that up I was wondering about the legal issues. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
