Fitting in the 2' lift for the tub

Okeiii...last but not least.. THE TUB ( my friend reminded me) ... Oh the tub. I almost forgotten..lol
This will take around an hour or so...If  you can get a friend to help even better ... no trolley jack required


Tools ..  ?
ALL THE SAME STUFF  MINUS the NO17 socket... 


1)Tub is very straight forward . Just remove all the for bolts with a NO14 Socket , Keep the washers , you will need to reuse them if u didn't buy them when getting the M10 bolts... The front bolt is visible from the wheel arch where as the back one is near the rear bumper bracket.




2) If have a friend just get him to lift up the tub for you to fit in the spacers... or else just use the faithful trolley jack for the leverage .


Note: Do not forget the different spacer with an aligning tub recess is for the left mounting (near the fuel LID)




3) Go round and tighten  all the 4 bolts after you have fitted in all the spacers.







(front bolt)
























(rear bolt)




 (removing the bolts ... I got some assistance with the Pneumatic impact wrench )
























(original bolts....)



























( fit in the spacers and fasten the bolts
( this is where the bed rest on the chassis , the 2x2" mild steel hollow fits here... total 2pcs left and right x 60mm (L) )






















 (this another place where the bed rest on the chassis , the 2x2" mild steel hollow fits here also ,  total 2pcs left and right x 60mm (L) )





















( you can actually weld this in place .. but i just tied drilled a hole a tied it in with a M10 x25mm)






















 (After that screw it in with a self tapping screw for the rear extenders)


CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You have completed the physical body lift  




All that is left now putting back together the both wheel fender lining , tighten the steering column, engine cover and the bash guard and you are ready to goOOOOooooooOOOOoo !!!
