Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have a complete front diff here if you want it..hahaa or the centre

the axle tubes have been changed to suit spring over so they wont eb of any use to you.

i threw the rear axle out a while ago now

dave

No mate progress has hit a dead stop for the last few months due to health problems.

BUT i started on it again this week so should get some more happening now.

rear driveshaft and brakes are now done.

front upper link is now nearly done

gotta go kick her in the guts and get the motor some useage ...

well just a quick update

i had a few more health problems so progress is slow

but basically completed the rear suspension and the front suspension, minus the shocks. gotta strip it all back down,, weld the shit and gusset the shiti out of it all

couple of very quick pics to get the idea


http ...

chers mate.

its all made...ahaha....im waiting on a few heim/rose joints to complete the front then its taking it to the workshop to strip back down, weld everything up, gusset everything...then slap it back together and test:)

cant wait


dave

this is wot im going to do in the rear.

and the front will be not dissimilar to this



cheers
dave

finally sat down and worked out wot im gonna do for the front suspension..

ive been having trouble designing something workable due to space constraints. but have finally decided

ive used front radius arms from a GU patroll, with the 1st mounting points cut off them both, using them as lower links ...

had u have told me this like...a little while ago i have a whole car worth of good straight panels, before i chopped them up!!


dave

...

lol i know all of this..im idolising the bbm scat...ahahahaaha..... BUT

untill ive finished what im doing....dont judge.....caus i do have a few tricks up my sleeve.

my old man is very vyer good at what he does.....thats y hes payed the big bucks and im not...LOL.... when ive done the rest in the ...

yeh i know it would have been better... but its all aobut trial and error. me and my old boy are tyring something a little different...and with the right combination of components it shouldnt be too bad..

the front is uber stiff anyway..the coils are almost ontop of the hubs. will see...


if ...

LOL wots a swaybar:P

dave

dave

dave

just a quick update, pics to follow later

got myself aset of hilux diffs, and some coils

the rear 4link has been done, ill put up pics when i can.

now starting the 3link front end

should be ready for a burn in a few weeks provided everything goes well


dave

i first ran 35" tyres with a sagged 3" suspension lift
no issues...ever so slight rub at full flex but no biggy

i got the 36/37" simex centerpedes on for offroading. and with 6.5" lift all round i get a fair bit of scrub and full flex, but i havnt extended any bump stops yet

*edit..that was a fail.....never done that before..ahaha ...

nissan vg30, out of an early 300zx..turbos been removed, and stage 4 cams have been installed, ...real lumpy at idle..but stupid amount of torque


dave

thanks guys

im running 37" simes extreme trekker 2's (centerpedes)
on landcruiser 16" rims, no spacers yet but im making up some spacers to make the track as wide as possible

and yeh.....now after lots of experimentation etc im gonna run only 2 leafs in each pack, and scissor shackles on the rear ...

atm they are open, but i will be welding the rear, and i dunno about the front..thinking about welding the front as well, but dont know if its gonna be practical offroad with a welded front diff....not to mention strain on the front cv's and axles

need to widen the wheel track a bit more with ...

just to give u guys an idea...my cruiser is 6.5" lift and 35's and the scat makes it look small


dave

ahaha yeh i a bit peeved actuallt that the scat is taller then broozer...but thats all the fun of it :)

few more pics of todays test in 4x4 for your viewing pleasure...not much to see but here they are anyway..ahahaha

not bad flex for a leafy ;)

well the soa conversion has been completed, and its first minor test run completed

the front diff needs to be redone, as the angle iss too great for the uni shafts and they wont turn, but todays run was in rwd so all was good

its gonna be a fun machine

some pics for your amusement

dave

http ...

well i got the diffs back in today, and its a LOT higher then before...like...its massive..... still gotta work out what to do with the steering arm (doesnt go through the springs),

tomorrow im gonna take the 9" grinder to it and cut the shit out of the guards and anything else i dont need.

sorry ...

Just thought i would post up what i been upto lately.

still a work in progress.....ill just cut and past my posts that ive put up on other forums so its easier for me......



heres a couple of pics i quickly snapped today while i was cleaning it up... the basis for the truggy.

ive lifted many subarus over time, MANY of them and find thm great cars offroad.

it would be much more suitable for you to ask the questio on this website www.ausubaru.com


dedicated mostly to offroad subarus

cheers
dave

thanks for that guys

im gonna try get some adaptors made to go from the scat pattern to my 6 stud cruiser pattern, so i can put my offroad tyres on either car


dave

cool cheers for that ill look into that.. might try getting a rough measurement with verneas and seeing if i can match it to a more accurate pattern
