ARB 70litre long range fuel tank and custom tow bar for sale

Post by Kirkv »

Hey

I`m currently doing a few mods to my zuk and theres a few parts I don`t need anymore.
I`ve got a ARB 70 litre long range fuel tank for sale in perfect condition with no scratches or dents. Will suit any SWB Sierra.
And since you can`t buy a tow bar off the shelf to fit with this tank, I modified a hayman reece towbar and beefed it up to suit the tank.
Both are in perfect order. Asking $550 for both.
If anyone is interested let me know.
Cheers

Antt:

Yes it`s the same rig from the 4WD monthly mag. I had a high speed roll over though back in easter. So while I`ve got the body off I`m doing a few more mods.

The rear is a 3 link. 2 extra long lower control arms and A-frame on top.
In theory given the control arm lengths and the misalignment capabilities of the rod ends, the rear axel could flex to an angle of about 70 degrees before the system would lockup. Of course you can never get that sort of flex in real life course the compressed tire hits the chassis before it gets anywhere near it`s angle limit.

The front was SPOA with missing link shackles which I got from the states. The springs were my original rear springs (about 4" longer).
The whole thing worked great except the wheel base is just too darn short.

Now that I have the opportunity to build it from a rolling chassis I`m not going to stuff around with any half arse tempory fixes.
As the chassis sits now, the whole rear setup has been moved back 13" still using the 3 link setup. The front is a 4 link (2 lower control arms, 1 upper control arm offset to miss the motor, and a panhard bar).
Both front and rear are coils with the coils captive top and bottom.
The flex was biased to the rear before because the coils would flex more then the leaf springs, but now it will be perfectly.
It`s been of the road for a while, and I`m getting very itchy feet to get it back on the road.
I went to Sam`s shop the other day, and I felt like going home straight away to start working on it again.
It could still be a while though, cause I`m flat out at work and don`t have time to scratch arse these days.

Attached is another pic for you hehe
