Outer Limits 4x4 Board

At least you can drive it or do you want to give the pushy more of a workout.

Well the scale's said I weighed 99kg today so the pushy is looking good.
I'm quite happy to leave it in the garage and just ride.

Looking at an unregisted soft top atm. prob being rust in the windsreen area. Q is it fixable. I'm okay with replacing medal and stuff (used to be into escorts which ment I got lots of books on restoration)

Dunno about repairing rust in the screen surround, just replace it with a fibreglass one.

Just screw some perspex to a roll cage, you don't need a windscreen

hmm the cops will love that!

The plan is to have an internal cage that I will be able to undress to when i'm on trail.

It's not the surround but the actural body. I'm pretty good with bog

Anywhere in the body can be easily fixed with steel from your tin top.

The SR20 being built up has the old footwells out of my tin top.

Keep the firewall as well, its a mecca of spares.

You had to go mention that name in my build up thread...mmmmmmm sr20....squirt.

I thinky you should extend the wheel base to LWB and fab up fenders kinda like this.

Anyway guys been thinking about my problem with the car bunny hopping when approaching rocks. IS it possible that the shocks are to soft and is not helping tame this problem?

Could also be the fact that your opened diffed, when it hops which wheels are spinning??

Not sure coz I'm driving

I can't hear the mtr's like i could with the BFG's. Also they don't smoke up either.

I suppose the only way i'm gonna figure this out is through trial and error

Getting back on topic.

What did you end up doing for rear shock mounts??

bigsteve wrote:Getting back on topic.

Made new ones further in on the cross member. Also I think they are higher then the stock one. I also moved the handbrake bracket off the rear of the diff so that it didn't contact

Well worked on the zook the other day. I have put the two helpers back in the rear so now it is a stock OME medium spring. The rear is now working great, getting heaps more power to the ground. the front on the other hand is still pretty loose, but I can most probably deal with that.

Now for another problem. I have installed the front shoks vertical to the diff, not realising how far the front diff will move back. So the front shocks now have a bit of denting. oops. I still have to move the hangers back though, so this might help with the direction of movement. (bigsteve can you measure how far farward yours are?)

Just a question, how does the diff move backwards in a reverse shackle setup. Why I ask is because the front drive shaft is designed to extend forward on the slip yoke but not backwards. I'm thinking if I add a spacer then the diff shouldn't be able to go backwards as at tgis tage I have over an inch constantly extended. Any idea's?

1185mm between the bolt heads

Nicbeer that isn't a bash plate it is the fuel tank

front extention is complete just need to work out the bumpstops and shock mounts.

Still need to cut the crapper outer the guards to.

if i rember correct u didnt fish plate your extension did you?

did u sleeve it on the inside? or just but welded it?

Mines plated underneath witch also forms the plate that the spring perch is welded to. With a gusset at each end of the overhand back to the rail.

Every extension has been done differently though. None have brokem.

when you say extension what are you extending chassie, body panels??
