Outer Limits 4x4 Board

35 mtrs. And yes I know the diffs won't take it. I will upgrade them but still deciding on what. MQ or Hilux Bundera, But today I was thinking rocky diffs they are ment to be as tough as nails arn't they. Don't know about parts availabilty or pumpkin location though. and the stud pattern will stay the same, I think.

Why wont they "take it" .. ?? what sort of terrian are you running ?

I run 35 claws etc they have held up reasonably for the last 5 years .. sure there have been dramas along the way .. but I have also destroyed Transfer cases and gearbox's to ..,. I think you will be suprised how well the Zuk stuff can stand up ..

Comes down to the terrain, if it is like most Vic conditions, mud and slippery surfaces you should be ok. If you are doing lots of rock then maybe consider bigger diffs. Also depends on driving style as long as you are gentle and thoughtful with the go pedal you will be surprised what the Zuk stuff can handle

I tehink you hit it on the head with that post Grimbo .. drive it like you stole it = busted ..

I wold run with it to start with and see how it goes ... if it holds together and you can keep up to maintaining it .. then do it .. But I guess i would nto drop $$$ into stuff unless from experiance I knew I needed it ..

I disagree - Rhett - get some Sidewinders, then you can give them to me when you get tired of them

gerg with your lawnmower motor .. you could run LJ diffs and not worry about breaking them

I used to like mud but then the rock bug bit me. There is something about its unforgivingness U get addicted to. And I still drive like Im in mud lots of loud pedal. So yes I will break stuff by the sounds of it, but have fun in the proccess.

IF I do go hilux diffs what is wrong with having the pumkin in the center at the back I don't realy see the need to go bundera diff at the back.

The tray on the cut suzi.

Gunna leave the diffs suzi for now and c wat happens. Din't end up getting 35mtrs got 33x14 boggers instead

nice tray

Sweet...

PICS DAMNIT - WE NEED PICS!!!!!

Just a pic for you greg. I don't think the 35s would have fitted without cuting the front anyway. It can go up the ramp further than this it is just the handbrake dont hold and my motor don't have much compression, by the time I got the camera it had moved.

Geez shukz thanks

Looks good Rhett - though i'm surprised that your handbrake held it up there at all - must be an aftermarket performance part

I use the pretty inneffective handbrake along with the low range and 1st gear ... seems to hold reasonable for me.

Still looks good .. No other tyre looks as cool as a bogger ...

except a cut bogger

Hey Rhett,

How about putting a tape measure to those boggers and letting us know what you find please

Oh, and how wide are those rims?

thanks mate..

p.s. and if you wouldn't mind - could you let me know how much they were (if new) - i don't mind if you PM that info to me

True .. But it is still a bogger ... hmm... how about a cut bigger bogger

Along with trimmed guards (to lower it a bit) you know you want to ... if you can cut and shut the body that neat, you can do the guards as well surely...

Oh wow! Thanks Redzook - i would never have looked there

Good work mate - all the info i need

The boggers measure 815 high and 340 wide with wieght on them. they cost me $750 with the rims. I think they are third or fourth hand. but with a inch or more of tread who cares. Heres some more pictures of the tray with the supports for bar and the start of the shoky towers they are gunna look as tough as the tyres I recon
and they are 10inch rims

Lookin good

The tray looks good, and great to see you going longer shock towers as well, only question is .. have you considered how far the shocks err "swing" durng articulation ..

When you decide that they are too small for what you need - please can i be the fifth owner

Nice tray looks like mine. As Guy said might want to consider making those towers a tad bigger as you will find that if say the shock body is 2" round you will need probably 4" of opening for it to cycle through when articulating. the last thing you want is the tray to dent or split your shocks or for it to restrict travel

grimbo wrote:... you will need probably 4" of opening for it to cycle through when articulating ...

The holes I cut in the back of my tub for the shocks to come through were about 100mm across - so i guess 4" pretty much... But you can use a bit of fancy maths to get the holes exact if you really wanted to (based on travel and angles).

Hmmm 4 inch hole or fancy maths. I'll choose the 4 inch hole thanx Eddie

It is four inch pipe I am using for the towers. I have alowed a fair bit of swing. the shocks are angled in more than the towers are at ride hite. so as it swings it straightens up in the tower. I was hoping to get shocks with a boot rather than a metal collar to give it that bit more room to beath as well.
