If you have some spare cash kicking around you should spend it on getting your POS together ,
I did notice you had your 37's up swap for 40's (Grimace you need something to put them on)
SO GET THAT THING GOING SO YOU CAN WHEEL YOUR OWN S**T!!!!!

Bwhahahaha!!

40" tyres on Rover diffs...Grimace, surely you jest.

I agree with Grover. Get your junk wheeling. I'll have the cash soon enough.

Ha!

Fork that. Selling it. Repairing a Rover is cheaper than maintaining a Toyota.

That's quite low considering your running gear. Nice work. I have been aiming at around 25" or 635mm for belly height, but if yours is 600 I should be able to get that with 40" tyres.

My belly is 650 on full compression on 42s... I run 4-6" up travel
Wow Jeff that is low for mogs...

Micka you get those axles sorted yet ...

Some more trips to Outcast Offroad and some more gear from RuffStuffSpecialities have seen more progress. Greg built a mobile frame to hold Bob's chassis at ride height...



Greg put the diffs under to check how it will look and start fabbing the cross members to take the lower link mounts...

very nice!

God NO!!!

The Sharmoota will be staying around for a while longer...even if it is an underpowered, fuel munching, bucket of puss.

Ride height? or full droop? seems high for ride height.

Ride height, baby.

The boat sides and no quarter panels make it look taller than it really is. Belly clearance is 635mm at the moment, and if possible I'll try to get another 25-50mm down, but having huge diffs and portals means it's gonna be a big fawker.

I'm going there tomorrow to do some more work on it and we'll hopefully have the lower link cross member done and the diffs all but under it.

just got back from OUTCAST OFFROAD your rig is looking the goods now ,be good to see it again in 2 weeks when i get back

the diffs are too narrow and your tire is mounted upside down and back to front. it's gonna tip over, you might as well have built a Daihatsu terios with a 3" body lift.

Fark!...a Terios would have been awesome

Got the cross member made up and the lower link brackets at the chassis and diff ends are all done. After some stuffing around we managed to get the belly clearance to 550mm and wheelbase to 110". Should be able to get the shocks mounted under the bonnet too using 18" travel airs with 5" of up travel.

Probably going to go against my better judgement and run it on petrol now. I really wanted propane, but the ease of setting everything up now, and refuelling whenever/wherever I want later on is going to sway me. Might change it down the track a bit when I swap out the LT for an Atlas.

Thats lots of up travel, the sump stopped me at 3" before the bump stops start working ! 5" diff would be in the sump !!! my wheel base is 115"..

getting it done !!!

Jeff

RovingTracks custom MogSals 40 spline axles for your viewing pleasure!!!!!




You better put some tissues over your keypad...




The 4 axles in the front. 1.8" diameter at the Mog end and 1.71" at the diff end...




Beside a Rover 24 spline...




Beside a Toyota 30 spline...



Boo ya!!!!!

Massive to Keith Kreutzer from RovingTracks for making these bad boys for me. Can't wait to have them land on my doorstep in the next 10 days. I'll need to arrange a low loader to get them to Outcast Offroad for fitting

Another step closer, Nottie...wish you were here to see them, old mate.


Mick

massive, let the shit start going on again at the outcast shed

Gay looking tooth picks !!!



brooksy

now lets hope the measurements I gave you are correct hey...

Good to see you got the belly down abit... But you could still lower it even more with 5in up travel..

I'm going for 600 belly with my front shoxs layer back 350mm in the front on my new buggy on mogs... Start it August.. 4 seater on mogs, 5lt auto

Sorry I could get the tissues quick enough!
Nottie would be impressed, but would be telling you it not quite right

Nice shafts! It's not often you get to see such a fine selection out on display all at once. The last time was that night out at Moreton if I recall correctly....

Time for another one me thinks This time lets try to actually do some fishing instead of just drinking and fondling each others balls whilst being strangulated!

Got the rear 4 link in and all welded up...

Links are 2" diameter with 12mm wall thickness. Heims are 1.25" chromo from Ruff Stuff Specialities.

pfft they will fold

hope u carry plenty of spares

same gear as my lower links !! nice


Jeff

Come on Mick progress on this, it's been over 2 years since Nottie stopped nagging you.

Some updates:

The fuel cell and rear air shocks have been set in place. These are 2.5" body RaceRunners with 18" travel set for 5" up travel.





I scored a rare day off during the week last week so I headed down to Outcast Offroad and set the front shocks up...



Again these are 18" RaceRunners with 5" up travel...





Tops of the shock hoops J-U-S-T poke thru the bonnet. I was hoping to keep it all below bonnet height but I would have had to lay them back too far for my liking.





I sold my 40" Treps to buy these bad boys. 43" Sticky TSL SX. Get them in a week or so. Can't wait to mount them...and put them on rims.
