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

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 i ...

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. http://inlinethumb55 ...

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
