Hi guys!! New to the forum and Montero Club.

I have a 1989 Raider with the 3.0L V6. I have a few questions.

I have already swapped the rear coils for GenII for some lift and cranked the torsion bars. I want to remove the rear sway bar and add some longer travel shocks for the rear. I found a thread on a different site that said there was a lot of info about KYB shocks over hear, but I haven't had any luck finding them. Any help would be great. Other manufactures are ok too, but I'm on a budget.

I also want to swap the rear axle for a GenII. I have found a 1992 SR axel at a local salvage yard will it work?

I plan to put an Aussie locker up front. Any feed back from those who have done this. All the threads I have found are pretty old.....

Any ideas for a winch capable front bumper. It looks like ARB was the only choice and they quit making them. I have seen that some have ordered bumpers for other vehicles and modified to fit. Is that my only option???

I will try to add pics if I can figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any help.
