Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I think you may have a few issues with your steering box .. I know liquid nails seemed like a good idea at the time .. I have been tempted to use it myself But sometimes you really need to use high tensile bolts

these are mine the first one is my current one and the second one is my old one very similar setups just love them!!





and my old one

Nice rig. What size tires you running?

Looks like your rear axle has been moved back?

Its had the rear 300mm or so cut off the chassis which might make it look like the axle has been moved back.

Spike - that axle has been moved back, but it's all been done with the springs. See how much of the spring is visible in front of the rear wheels? On a stock sierra an equal amount of spring will be visible fore and aft of the tyre.

I'm not convinced the chassis has been cut but I could be wrong.

your right steve. the rear was moved back using mazda springs with a custom top leaf. i believe the chassis had a minimal amount trimmed off. and yes the tray has had about a foot taken off.
i love this ute. reliable, practical and i don't think he has ever broken a thing. and best of all its still a ute. still capable of taking a wheely bin to the tip or a load of wharever for the garden.. did i say i love this ute

My brothers chopped SWB ute.
RUF, lux fronts in rear. SPUA flat springs with 33 boggers. 2 inch BL. Commodore shocks up front and hilux rear shocks inboarded.





Layto....

er... my trayback as pictured above, is no longer a trayback - that is all

Yeah Steve, had another look at it and you are right. I think i am getting confused with the LWB tub chassis and the LWB ute chassi regarding the chop.

I like the look of it, I personally wouldnt have shortened the tray as it looks a little stumpy IMO. I love everthing else though. I am not a fan of flat trays without sides, it just seems to defeat the purpose, as it just means you have to tie everything down.

I agree that tray looks a bit short. It could have been a plank longer (6") without hurting capability and it would have made the car look more balanced.

he's proper fucked if he gets a flat

I like the out-of-the-box approach on the front guards bakerboy. Something different.

Love the custom shackle reversal, think you went a bit overboard on the front towers though and approach angle has suffered as a result.

The gaps will be filled with some ali checker plate, good move? i just dont like seeing the gap

possibly GRPABT1, but its our first build, steep learning curve, and as its still SPUA we can go SPOA and halve the "fangs" if need be not totally stoopid
