bang on Gus, I only want 235s and to use it as a daily tho.... Plus I'm pretty sure all of what I've mentioned is still engineerable. Probs not bush wackers, but some neat guards are in the picture for sure.

[SierraDan]

Given the "crawly" nature of mentioned tracks will 4.16 be low enough?

needs rear steer if your only running 235's, might as well go 30's.

i heard things don't go to well once you get up to that sort of tyre size? things just break even on a newish one, i read it somewhere on the net.

a low jim on 30's with a linked front end, geared & locked would be pretty cool.

Would be a very capable machine. But still wont do rope rd.

I got told I wouldn't make it first time I did it.

And the 235's thing shouldn't pose a problem. Didn't on the LWB

Is there any special flex bushes you can buy?

Thanks

Not that i have found . My rear's are stuffed already, so i'm looking for other bushes as well, but from what i read on the UK sites the factory bushes are the flexest! Just a shame they don't last that long

I asked steve about the rear arms binding up on the chassis mounts and he said to have a look at these to put on the rear radius arm links (can't remember which one now should of saved that PM ).

[BlueSuzy]

Johnny joints. You could always bore out the arms alittle if needed for these to fit in. And if they are bigger than the jim bushes, you could machine in some caster correction.

Rubber Patrol flexxy gu/gq rear bushes are cheap. I got 16 at $20 a pop. Normally $30rrp each. Patrolapart ebay. M14 boltholes though. Can be sleeved for M12

[31zook]

Rope Rd can be driven on 235s

The rear end will be linked also gus.

I think that all that's left to do now is to build it.

Will post progress pic's as they happen

As for how hard, Rope Rd, secret creek, steps, QLD gate, this new secret track that would have stopped my old lwb

Clearly I take that as a challenge.

Your on, can I bumb a lift? Maybe next weekend? You, dan, Joshy cheers and I?

[jonno_racing]

this sounds like a fark load of work....

It's not a coily so won't be hard at all!

Nah, I have 6.5s in my possession now, so they might go in next weekend. And can't drive it to far until I get the steering sorted out at this stage.


But once is all sorted

[31zook]

Nice, you will love the gearing

[monley]

So are you linking both ends?

Also will you be running F&R sway bar's?

[31zook]

Yeah I have a collection of 1L, NT & WT sway bars.... So one of them is going to be right-ish.... And yep, linked either end.

[monley]

Still has about 20mm more up travel left in the shock...

[31zook]

So yours are 4" longer es3000's and they still come pretty close to bumps stops?

[monley]

Mine are the 5" ES3000 with shock re-locators.

Tucks up pretty nicely to

[31zook]

Okay, thanks

[31zook]

One bolt removed, acting allot like a 3link...



Hoping to collect parts across summer and build in the winter

[monley]

I guess the shocks were way to short?

[steak_knife]

[atari4x4]

nice leaning tower of pizza, tyre stack looks safe.

flex isn't too bad either

[31zook]

yeah but only short by about 50mm.... can't wait to get it built... maybe i can fit a travel ramp into the build plan
