All photochop

So you have 2 sierras? or is the coiler becoming the Tim Hardy replica?

Ok so spell it out us slow people in the back row.

You aren't doing this to the coiled Sierra but to another one? what is wrong with the coil sprung one? Or is it for the g/f? Or is it because stalking TH is getting too hard with all the restraining orders?

You will also need to grow a handlebar mo and get a little sausage dog for trail riding.

Dude you need a red one , I can do a great deal on a red one,
then you just gotta take some bits of and play with the springs ,

well sort of

OK I will type S-L-O-W. I have a Suzuki Sierra that has the prototype Overkill coil conversion. It's charcoal coloured, you now the bling bling one. I am going to turn THAT ZUK into a THR.

There is NOTHING wrong with the coil conversion (It will live on in a "different" form). It rides smooth, flexes very well and is VERY compatent off road. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!

I wanna build a THR.....that is it......When I first got back from the US I swore I'd build one and now I'm gonna!

Gotta find me a Yosemity(sp) Sam Hat too hehehe

start from scratch with a red one

even consider selling your coil one intact as it is. could make plenty back to fund the THR.

Yeah I agree sell the coil converted one and use the funds to start from scratch. You could sell it to me for a small fee if you like or maybe swap it for my ute

I agree - sell it to grimbo - then he can stop whinging about his current zook and start whinging about the new one

what would tim hardy do?

i dont get why he has his tyres so flat?

or is it to "brake in the sidewalls"

btw any 1 know what tyres they are?

35 Inch BFG MT KM because he likes to wheel without valve cores .. shot taken during the 2002 petersons ultimate adventure tour

why the fark would u wheel without air?

bet he has a heep of diff clearance

redzook wrote:why the fark would u wheel without air?

because he can. he is the sort of guy that will do stuff just cause he can. he did Top Truck years ago in a silver Zuk towing a trailer cause he could, almost won it too! He isn't scared of putting the Zuk into all sorts of strange lines to get it thru an obstacle. It was his wifes Zuk originally and he took it out once realised how nice it was and then it looked the after pic

are you sure about this? from the pics i have of it on this trip it looks to me in much better nick

Yeah but after seeing pic's of what he can do in his zook its hard to say that he's doing something wrong.
As you know the tallest truck doesn't always win out in the trails!

imagine what he could do with air in his tyres

yeh im bored .........

don't forget about the other thing that you need when wheeling - traction.

perhaps having no air was to get the most traction possible?

no point having clearance without traction - though obviously the reverse of that is true also.

No what we are all forgetting is that with no air he might scratch those pretty rims.

Don't worry redzook I can relate to your illness

Did you not notice the rest of the car man... i wouldn't expect that the rims of a far greater priority than the panels

In the article in the yank mag they say he runs suburu burfields any one know what they would have come out of? I figure they must be tough the way he drives on 35s.

why wreck a perfectly good coil conversion to turn it into that?????

i hope your gonna build a better cage than is in that thing, looks to be severly lacking the the diagonal bracing department

You doubt it so .. but it has been seriously thrashed .. the whole vehicle including driver is only 800 or so Kg ... that cage has been used 100's (litterally) of times .. it still looks perfect to me ..

maybe so, but i bet its tweaked to hell. hard to tell from the photo's. it isn't that hard to add some diagonal bracing........oh well, its his life

he isnt wreckin the coil kit the chassis will be goin on another car

and he will start with a leafy chassis

I'll give you a hint. A tyres tractive ability is influenced by it's "footprint". A wide footprint will give good lateral traction ie wide tyres handle better (generally). A long footprint will give good axial traction ie tall tyres better for accel/decel ie top fueller

With his pressure (vacuum) so low his ground clearance would be similar to a 30/31 tyre but with a L-O-N-G footprint for AWSUM axial traction

Trail tough axles are a commercially available version of TH axles

Sidewinders would be cooler though - and that would match the bling rims you'll be running

Finally some clarification about what was going on - "Hooray!!!"

But they have a larger centre in them = less clearance for same tyre

love_mud wrote:But they have a larger centre in them = less clearance for same tyre

Are you sure? They look pretty well cleared with that hexagonal-ish appearance?
