Re: OFFROAD BOSS KING OF THE RIM 2012

agree that all correct tube is imperial, so 1 3/4 or 44.5/45mm 350 grade tube is the way to go, this will require a 2.5 wall thickness. And as stated you can pick if it is seamed or seemless and if joins have been used, not hard. Pipe is measured by the amount of flow threw the pipe. This is why it ...

I came up with this idea because I did not wont to make a 5 link front end to get all that flex. Keeping a standard front diff and chassis mounts in my book makes it a lot easer for the home 4by customizer. As for handling on road with the anti flex bolts in you have a standard set of drop radius ...

If you take into account the Geometry for an A frame rear end the rap is only controlled by one point. I am certain that there is more steel in one patrol radius arm than 1 only 1" shaft that most A frame rear ends use to pivot around.

The arm is only diffrent on the passengers side It turns the front into a very smooth flexable front end with no changes to any part of the 4by. I had to put in a locking pin for on road use. There was to much flex for corners . http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s97/BrutusQLD ...

With standard arms and bushes the diff is put into torsion ie: threw use of rubber bushes to give the difft the abilty to twist to the point were the bolt touches the housing Max twist max travel. So if you give the radious arm a pivot point arround the rear bush in the arm on the diff on passanger ...

Thats exactly what I have been told and i asked a Queensland Transport dude at the pits at bundal. All DOT care about is the chassis number. If it has a Hj60 chasis, its a Hj60, if it has a GQ chassis, its a GQ. Your not doing a chassis swap as far as DOT is concerned, your doing a body swap. Maybe ...

I spoke to an engineer and said that it would have to be rego'd as a Patrol as the cab would have to match the chassis numbers. How did you go about that, just chop the GQ numbers out and weld the 60series numbers in.. or grind them off and get it restamped???? didn't think that RTA/DOT like'd ...
