Got clearance.

The biggest problem with these diffs is how tall the diff is and the problems it creates with clearance with the engine. Its just a matter of seeing how low I can get it.

Got all the links tacked in. Running 4 parallel links plus panhard in front and a triangulated three link in the rear. Motor to front diff and linkages clearance is very close but I am happy with how low this hing is turning out although it will probably have a higher ride height than before.

Oh yea - also got the morox/gearbox/transfer sitting in place ready to make mounts for it. Motor is sitting a few inches forward of where I was origionally planning which is a bonous.

Just in case anyone is wondering the suspension is sitting on the bump stops with no springs in it so I can see where the motor/box can go for clearance.

Ride height will be about 4in higher than this.

I think its just you - the pics have been downloaded a fair few times by other people. Is it just these pics or all pics that are posted on this board?

When you click on them they should open up in a new window.

Check to see what your PC is using to open jpg type files. You may need to reassociate the file extensions to an app which is on your PC to fix. :silly:

Looks Good Sam, I like the design. I can't wait to see it in action - Are you going to be taking it up to Manar at easter?

Are you going to keep the MOG drums or run discs? Traction control???

Did I trial fit up of the body and it looks very short (may get a longer one) but it will do for the tim being. May move it an inch forward from this.
