Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Have a look at the above link. It shows the dimensions of the bush required. That should give you some idea.

the inner oil seal is a piece of piss to change - the O ring is in the same position. The outer oil seal is a PITA to do. You need a press to take the axel out.

The Bundera Bonnets are shorter by about 4 inches and I believe they are not as wide either

I actually meant, What levels are they?

I.E. Front two are 20mm higher than 2nd set, compared to the third which is the same height as the 2nd and the forth is 10 lower than the third.


Ya know what I mean???

I am looking at different chassis' to see which is closest (doesn't require as much modification) to my VK commodore

That is, are they flat?

Very interested, but need to know cost including freight.

How about a Territory? Do it as a sleeper and start driving circles offroad around "real" 4WDs. That would be fun.

Did I miss something?

Why would it not be strong?

ya thats some of em, thought there was an older one too. scroll down dude, the yellow one is in that thread too :cool: Hmmm For some reason when I clicked on your link it came up with a SAS conversion page???? But then I used Bogged's quoted link it worked. I will have to do a bit of measuring me ...

This isn't the one you where thinking?

Ummm. Not quite what I had in mind

I really would like to see others first and learn off their mistakes...

It is almost a certainty that this will go ahead - *almost*. Depends on how financially my Bundera buildup smacks me. I just got a price for a bush kit from ARB - $340

I will have to start searching wheel base lengths and comparing to the commy.

It should be a fun project tho.

I know of the Outlander vehicle that uses a H series wagon body on a Patrol chassis, but what about a Sedan body? I have a VK commodore that I don't know what to do with. I was thinking about a super 6 conversion out of a VS Calais, but everyone has done that. What would make it special is that on a ...

Thats actually a very good idea. - Much better than the hub rebuild

... eventually will be a daily driver aswell, but not for a while

Liam, I am confused here, (not unusual :) ) you havent metioned your intended tyre size, so we are only guessing as to your best course of action. What size wheel and tyre, what engine what gears and what do you intend to do with it? Peter. Huh! good timeing! 35in tyres on 15 x 10 rims chev v6 ...

Which is what is being done. 3 - 4 inch suspension lift. 2 inch body lift. 35inch tyres on a big-arse offset rim!

Whoopsy!

Here is an old pic of my Bundy with 80 springs in the rear and standard in the front.


That lift difference looks around the 3 in mark to me - even with a lower rear tyre pressure (it was leaking)

gotoy wrote: Hey just a min or 2....installing 80's spring does not give you a 4" lift! More like 2". .

Hmmm looks like I am getting conflicting information.

Okay, then. Why does the standard spring sit lower then the 80 spring? This is not installed into the vehicle.

I can see no reason why the 80# front spring wont fit into the bundys rear right. It has the same size mounts in the chassis and on the diff housing.

gotoy wrote:So have to ask why you need an offset?

I have absolutely no idea. I have just been told that if you go over 4 inches you *should* have an offset bush kit installed and since the original bushes are stuffed, I thought now is as good a time as any.

Liam

Anyone else who has put 80# springs into a Bundy might be able to help me here. I need to buy a bush kit for my build-up and I have been told to get an offset kit. What degree of offset do you guys recommend?


Liam.

Oops, double-up
