Hi all, I've got the day off tomorrow so I thought might crack a carton of ginger ale and Ute chop my liana. Just wondering if its been done before and is there anything to watch out for. While I'm at it I might shorten the wheel base for tighter reverse donuts. It will be fully sick and I'll post pics

If it doesn't provide teh laffs, blame Z.O.O.M, AZROM and Atari4x4.

What is your purpose?

What makes you think you have the abilities?

have you ever completed such a project?

just remember a lot of the stiffness in the body comes from the roof, so you might need to add bracing after the chop to stiffen it up again...

That was my first thought pezz but I'm going to one link the rear so it would hit the seat on hectic flex so it will have to be a bit behind the seats or mount the seat on the rear end.
Was going to go custom rear axle but couldn't be bothered getto fabbing a hand brake so I might modify the factory setup if I can.

Why two rear wheels?

Just bung one in the middle, behind the front seats. suspension optional. Armsup

You could even make it real interesting by using one rear axle stub as a pivot - so your centre mounted rear wheel swings around like a shopping trolly castor wheel.. :lol:

Use the handbrake on the vertical axle to lock the castor wheel in any direction you want
