I have had outback armour suspension for a couple of years in a dmax, have constant load rating of 500kg in the rear. In summer it supports a firefighting pump with 700 liters of water, it works great, fitted by Matt at Adelaide 4x4. Cheers
Just drove two LC 200’s back to back, one was good but the other was even better, so I took a look underneath. I had to google to find out what they were, because I’d never heard of them but believe me they were good, really very impressed with the difference.
thank you, Pat, very informative. not meaning to be too critical but I can't understand why the music in your clip has to be sooo loud isn't it supposed to be background music.
Keep in mind that technically on a non-raptor ranger the 285/70/17 is above the legal overall diameter allowed. 275/70/17 is as tall as you can run. 285/70/17 ends up being a 62mm larger than stock. 50mm being legal. The +30 offset is the lowest you can go as well due to the 50mm maximum track width increase, wheel centre to wheel centre.
Nearly every lift kit is 45mm+ or 2 inches. Outback armour having a 2” lift is not revolutionary at all. Also, lifting your vehicle does not help with the fitment of larger tyres on IFS vehicles. Lift changes the resting height of the vehicle but the wheel will still travel in the same range of motion from stock (i.e. bumpstop to full shock length). You should make sure you’re educating people on the true advantages of lifting a vehicle, not spreading common myths.
I've had OA on a Prado since it first came out and been very happy with it. The past few months I have been working out of an office in Cessnock and let me tell you, the ride has been shit on the roads out there, to the point where today my stomach and sides are aching from the 20 kn of really rough dirt road. So I got to thinking, last time it was serviced was a few months ago so went out and checked and yep, all 4 dials on fucking 20! I usually run them on 10 so obviously the fucking snotty little 1st year apprentice I pay full mechanics hourly rate to has been fucking with something he should not be touching. Fucking Toyota Service, useless.
Your tyres are oversize, 285/70 17 probaly not good telling viewers that the increase in suspension has "allowed" youth put bigger tyres on. Id be more worried about insurance in the event of an accident.
Yep outback armour in my pajero sport for the last 12 months, Love it to bits, couldn't be happier.

Hey pat, can you run us through your performance mods please
I found this video as I’m just about to order a kit for my Ranger.
Pat only does paid comments. Hard to believe anything he says/sells
Didn't go for the adjustable shocks because they are a serviceable item and I don't think you need them.
You can put 285/70/17 on a ranger with no lift +30 offset wheels
Really ? The stock offset is +55 and are you sure that going by 85 mm to the outside will work without any lift ?
@@pawezmudzki5055 sorry its +30 offset
@@WILDSRB Thx a lot for that info ! I appreciate it ! It helps a lot ;)
