I have searched this topic and got a few results but I'm really after pics of peoples progress while chopping the guards and replating so I know what's involved. Thanks

If this thread doesnt help (maybe be in good tech soon? ) then your in trouble.

Also commonly known as a virtual lift.

I Assume it's for your sierra in your signature?

There is a good one about for rear gaurds too. Maybe canberraMav's build? I'll keep looking.

[mcwilly]

Forgot to mention to suit bushwhackers but any info helps. Thanks shakes

[boostedbrick]

Theres a few posts on here, but check out Damo and JrZook's builds. Both have good write ups on virtual lifts.

Have a chat to Josh/31zook. He can fill you in on whats involved.

[mcwilly]

Yea will do

[SuziBlu]

Different site, but i have kept this in case I do go for the virtual lift myself.

[31zook]

are you trying to not make bush wacker flairs look funny or clear tyres?

[mcwilly]

Thanks suziblu.
Trying to do both Josh. I'm hoping to open up the guards a bit to make sure my tyres clear and at the same time make the guards a bit closer to the size of the bushwhackers.

[31zook]

OK, so what do you want?

[mcwilly]

Well I gotta get my old ones off to start with so I can work out how hi I can mount the new ones with the fuel filler as I don't wanna move it as it's a big job. Then I guess I mark where to cut etc and find someone to chop and shut it.

[31zook]

you sound like you have the right idea, if your not going to do it then take it somewhere.... not sure what sort of shop would chop it tho...

[mcwilly]

Ur not keen on chopping and shutting?

[mcwilly]

Gonna be interesting driving wid no flares and -50 offset rims

[SierraDan]

A Custom panel beater would do it.
Theres Kranky kustoms in beresfield. And Kingpin customs in Gateshead.

They're just ones I know of, I'm sure there's heaps more.

there is allot of work in it, like moving bump stops around, flexing, lock to lock, check this check that.... it would take me a weekend to do the front and a weekend to do the rear.... PM for price.....

[mcwilly]

why do u need to move bump stops wen chopping the guards. id just chop as much as i can with the flares where they fit best

[31zook]

well, if i was building a car to wheel for myself, i would take out as much of the bump stop so i could keep it low, if your not worried, then i can just cut out the guard to suit the flairs....

[mcwilly]

height etc of the car isnt going to change, its pretty stable as it is at the moment. but if i can gain more clearance i can shorten my bumpstops and gain more up travel. as it is now i can get more up travel in the rear, but don really need it as it flexes pretty good as is

[31zook]

So ill just chop em and you will work out your bump stops?

[mcwilly]

yea bump stops are easy. but ill suss it all out and let u know with the cutting. i wish i could weld i have so many ideas but dont have the skills

[31zook]

not what you know, but who you know

PM me when your keen
