I read, although without any impending worry, at this stage, about the much talked about legislation soon to be introduced, to curb the overall lift height that a 4 x 4 will be allowed to have.
Can someone please explain to me, when these kits become very commonplace.
During the Second World War, we saw Land Rovers & Jeeps, doing their stuff, all over the world, in standard guise. I understand, that they would have got stuck lots, and manpower was available, to correct the situation.
I also am very aware of the benefits of lift kits, as I don't have one, and I bottom out occasionally.
I am not trying to stir the pot. I just want to know when the kits were available BIG TIME, here in Australia. I do not remember much being available for us during the early 70's, whilst on the Station, but, we never seemed to need one. We had Toyotas, Nissans & Suzukis, and as you would expect, they didn't spend much time on any roads or tracks. We never had a problem, ever.
Come to think of it, I work right next door to a drilling company, that has had LOTS of 4 x 4's
tailor made for them, and I mean LOTS. None seem to be really that much raised, yet these vehicles do more work, than most of the 4 x 4's I see in the city. These guys are told to go to a spot, and drill a hole, and keep supplies running, for all of their rigs.
Could it be that we are maybe a little under the influence of some marketing hype, and are being led to believe that we actually need 100 - 150 mm. of extra height?
Now, after writing that, should I like, leave the country for a week or so?
Cheers
