Ruff, see where the housing is sitting. That is about the height it has to be from the chassis. Even at that distance i will not get much uptravel on the drivers side. I am probably going to cut the chassis off the front and make a new crossmember that steps up from the rails.
its going to be a bit taller than i wanted.
I am thinking about making new housings for the diffs. Keep the centre and knuckle sections and basically retube them. The housing are bloody thick, its not going to be carrying loads so i think i can lighten them up a bit.

that's a lot more work! keeping cog down is good but that'll take you a long time to do, even if it just the front housing. if it's mounted in the same position as the pic, what percentage of up travel do you think you'd get compared to down travel?

EASY
it is the centre that is going to hit the chassis, not the housing
turn it around...how gay is that
maybe mill down the ring gear a little, its clear someone has milled a little off your brain
hands and mums dont count!!!

The front section of the cage, firewall etc will pull off and the rear will stay.
My head will be directly under the b pillar. I still have to make the stays that will go from the b pillar to the top to the rear hoop on the chassis.
man it looks filth..it really does...and the best part is..it still resembly what it was created from 
But on a more serious note..,
With all these chasis mods your doing , it's obviously for hard caw comps and so forth...is there any design rules and regulations for this vehicle to be permitted into competitions like..TTC etc etc..
EG:
rally cars must follow CAMS rulings
drag cars must follow ANDRA rulings
You get the idea
Of course if the car if just to be trailers everywhere and used for private fun, i would think it would be "run what you brung"..and not be subject to anything accept public and peer prasies
Any directions to design regs and rules would be great for competition vehicles
But on a more serious note..,

This is where 4WDing is a little backward! Every comp has it own rules, most are similar though. The majority of comps require rego and engineer certificates but i think this will change with more and more unreg'd rigs being built.
I am basically building this for XRCC, the rules for this are posted on their website www.quantemtek.com.au/xrcc
I will trailer it, why drive a noisy old slug around when you can tow it in climate controlled comfort!
The idea was to build a buggy that still looks like sort of like a landcruiser.
