I've ordered the poly bushes for drop links they was only £18 on whifbitz I don't see why not because they are going to be harder and past longer I'm thinking when money is right to poly bush everything not sure yet will have to read some reviews

You mean you have ordered poly bushes for the anti roll bar mounts, surely? I would go genuine Toyota for drop links, the quality is assured. Or have some made with decent rod ends, if you want the best for your baby. Won't be cheap though, stainless PTFE lined quaility rod ends are £££'s and then you have to fab the links.

I've gone whifbitz for drop links and they are genuine drop links , I've ordered poly bushes incase old ones need replacing . Now my next step is what jack to order 2.5 ton with 4 axle stands or the 3 ton which looks a lot better and has had a lot more people buy

I posted quite detailed tips on how to get the nuts on the drop links undone, you might find it with the search facility. You MUST kill the loctite on the nuts with heat, a lot of heat applied fast. You MUST clean the hex females out completely. You MUST use a top quality Allen socket or key that's the right size. If you neglect any of this and the internal hex rounds off you will have to grind them off. Doing so in the restricted space without doing more damage is also tricky.

I just fit new flanged nuts and tighten them firmly, I don't use Loctite on them.

 

Cheers mate il let you know how I get on [emoji6] hope it helps some of the knocking anyway but in time Il put some nice wheels on it and bring it down to u to set up [emoji6][emoji8]

Car covers end up inducing more scratches with the movement of the cover over the car in the wind.

 

With regard to the exhaust why do you think the middle needs replacing out of interest? Local to us you have Hayward and Scott who aren't cheap but fantastic and often missed locally in favour of Pipecraft

(If your going the bluewater meet drop me a pm if you fancy cruising up there together)

Your car cover shouldn't scratch if its clean and its put on a clean car. The storm force ones are elasticated and are tight on, with straps that go underneath and hold it tightly in place.

 

I could well imagine a poorly stored loosely fitting dirty car/cover causing scratches.

 

I had my car left outside for years without a cover and it was ok, but you have to fight off the bird muck and things like that... that's probably your biggest threat. I wouldn't worry to much about the wind/rain generally.
