Re: 110 cab chassis comp truck

The rover cages (and some nissan ute cab cages) 've seen have the A pillar hoop inside the cab, with the main bars beside your head exiting the cab joining to an external B pillar hoop. This was a while ago, the CCDA rules are fairly clear. It would be worthwhile sketching it up and speaking to them ...

I saw this on the weekend as well.

Pulled the pinion flange out, without un-doing the nut from the tailshaft.

The one i saw was nroken in easy conditions, most likely fractured before as per slunnies post.

Having used the cubelock, I wouldn't use it again.

I would use steel & ply for draws.

The cubelock flexes and creaks even when well braced.

$24 per 6.5m length from capral.
Joiners are about $1.50

Bunnings sell the stuff, but at about $18 per 2m

Hi, 1)the diff of the GQ is so big that you need 3" bigger tyres to get the same clearance under the diff. 2)And to get the same ratio nissan/toyota you need a diff centre from the 75 series in the back. 3)Stay on the maxis or do a toy conversion.

I ran 14 usually with internal beadlocks then lower if required.

Just be careful with them on 8'' rims. They would suit 7'' or even 6.5''.

Groove the centre lug too.

Trust me - Rays can get whatever you want out of Engel. Don't take no for an answer - it is just a 'special' customer order. Engel are great to deal with - I wouldn't be blaming them. It is the retailer's problem from what you have described. Cheers Dave. (Who is an Ex Rays employee :oops: :oops: )
