Will Dentcraft pump out the Gaurds a bit?? incase i wanna put wider tyres on it in the future?

No all they do is heat up the guards and tap it softly for about 20 mins

sounds strange I know but works real good.....no sign it has been done externally

My rears were scraping at every bump and after lipping never had a problem again

but as my wife usually says....no pumping

I think they are in the phone book, but I have a card at work so I will have look tomorrow

and let you know

lol with a jack sounds bush styles too.

So does this; adjusting the cars coilovers to sit super low, then find some heavy people to sit in the back

Back on topic, most places don't guarantee that it wont crack the paint, they use a heat gun to heat the paint and panel cracking still can occur. Around $50 a corner is what most places charge using a proper guard roller, not worth wasting your time with steel poles, jacks, or fat people.

Stuart from Dentcraft did mine. Got the 2 rear guards rolled.

He will jack your car up.

Take the wheels off.

Bolt on a roller to your hub.

Use like a really fkn hot hair-dryer to heat the guards/paint.

Roll them, tap them with a soft hammer/mallet till they're lipped.

If your paint is original and in good condition, you shouldn't have a problem with the paint cracking.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
