ANOTHER 2 DOOR BUILD UP

[boggerbrad37]

Just finished stage 2 of my brother in laws Rangie. Here it is when it arrived at my house. It came with a high mount and bar as well.

First step was to remove the 3.5 running on 7 cylinders and pull the front off the four speed and replace the primary pinion bearing. Noisy in 1st 2nd and third but quiet in fourth.

In went King springs ond OME shocks. These are 80 series front shocks next too the standard.

The rear are GQ rears witha pin to eye adapter i made.

The dislocate cones are series2 Disco front shock towers. Turned upside down, cut off and weled in. Can make them removable as well.

Here it is. End of Stage 1. Off to get road worthy and put in his name.

Here it is at the end of Stage 2. Body lift, 50mm Snorkle i made. Lifted front bar. second hand 4 door flares.Had to modify the rear ones a little, 35 inch road tyres

Hre is the rear bar i made. Cut off rear quarters. I put LED lights in his, something i might add to mine.

Stage 3 will be Off road tyres. rear locker and a bull bar like i made for mine.

Sage 3 might be a while off he just broke his heel bone into 4 peices. He is in hospital now and has not even seen it yet. At least 15 weeks before he can even drive/ use it. Thats gotta hurt more than the heel.

Great build up.

Now I can see the difference between shocks everyone raves about.

Great tip on the spring locater!!

Oh can you just? And how would you go about that? Rear bar came up awesome.

ok if ya spring dislocates there is no pressure forcing it on to the ground.no pressure means stuff all grip, just a spring that bangs around all the time. may look good for the video but thats about it.get longer springs keep pressure on the ground..

True mopar rangie. I have a test area near my house that really twists up the suspension. Use to go their to see if there was room to clear the new tyres i brought. With no lockers engaged as soon as the rear wheel left the ground the car would stop moving forward(slow speed). With longer shocks and + 4 inch springs that were dislocted the car would keep moving forward (no locker engaged). Wheel and tyre weigh 56 kilos. Any wheel on the ground is better i think than a wheel in the air. Locker or no locker.

Tell me about it, do it now Mick befort the missus says her clock is ticking !

Nice rear bar, would look nice on the disco.

Nice rangies!

Do you have to extend the rear bump stops to run the GQ rear shocks? ie will the shock bottom before the bump stop compresses a bit on full compression if you dont?

Would you say that the pin to eye adaptor takes some stress of the shock when its flexing, compared to a std shock?

why do you think i spend so much time down at the warehouse working on the car

On mine i raised the top shock mount and kicked it out alittle. Also extended the bump stops. On the blue one i have added an extra inch to the bump stop only. Will test it out later when he can start driving it. Never broken an adapter yet. I also run rear Gq shocks in the front of mine with a series 2 shock tower. Extended bump stops only on the front.
