There is no such thing as a "sudden left-right transition" in one of these overloaded pigs. Especially with 3/4 of a tank of water.
Next rainy day I think I'll have a play with the jack and try and sort out some sort of travel limiting straps. If I can stop it from ripping the shock mounts at full droop I'll dump the sway bar.
As it sits now the sway bar mounts are easier to fix than the shock mounts....

Nice setup you've got there.

The adjustable bushes I have have cams on them that allows for precise location and they can't move once tightened up.

If you slot it, won't you lose the metal sleeve insert in the bush and then have to shim out the slot to stop any movement? Will it weaken the bush? Not sure how you'd get that to work.

The swivel balls are bolt on with a Land Rover, not fully welded like a Cruiser or Patrol, so you can adjust caster at the axle ends instead of the radius arm to diff bushes.

Been a while since I've driven a spray rig, almost forgot almost tipping an old Patrol over on a side slope after hitting a hidden rock. [emoji50]

The 60 odd footer above is no match for the 6 footer below


Getting a bit windy and one decent branch hanging over the structure on the left that if I can't control it will cause me building works I haven't quoted.

A minor hazard that might deter many.

Yeah, thanks mate. Was a good afternoon. Didn't get started till after lunch though.

I had to squeeze everything between the fence/gas cylinder on one side and the house on the other. Got one side totally done and I'm half way up the other side. The 3 most difficult branches over the top of the house are down safely but still have to cut the top out of it and I can't do that into this wind.

I'll wait for a calm day.

Nice work chippy in gusty conditions !
