Every little boy dreams of another two inches….

Modifications to the two little toys

Earlier in this blog, I mentioned that the two little boys, who had two little toys, went to the National 4x4 Show …..

"They also managed to collect brochures from EVERY stall and spent the next two weeks sorting the literature into two piles: Must Haves and Really Wants."

One of the items on the "Must Haves" list was a 2" Lift Kit.  Now I must confess, I have no bloody idea what this is exactly.  When I enquired, I was rewarded with looks of horror, stuttering and then a garbled explanation that resembled something from one of the 15yo's.  I was then assured that it was budgeted for, didn't cost too much and that "we really need one for Cape York".  I'm starting to think that all modifications to the two little toys will be justified by "we really need it for Cape York".

So, on Sunday 3rd November, the two little boys set about installing their additional two inches.  And this is what two inches looks like…..

Now, to obtain an additional 2', you need other things - a new trolley jack, axel stands and a ball joint removal tool.  Aren't we lucky that Super Cheap is just around the corner and open on Sundays?

So the two little boys, with their two little toys and their brand new tools set to work adding two inches.

Car 1 was completed in just under 7 hours - poor little boy 2 went home without his extra 2" and had to wait until Saturday 9th November to achieve true satisfaction.

Now the two little boys, with two little toys have an additional 2", and they are happy.

We won't talk about what happened to the old bits but I can assure you, they are no longer being stored in Greenslopes!

Post Script:

The two little boys were very muscle sore after achieving an additional 2"…….
