Outer Limits 4x4 Board

dude that rear end works pretty bloody good now man............not to bad seeing as we hadnt done one before

i see what you mean about the front not working as well as it did before but it's pretty awsome now 8)

im gunna have to start mine real soon now after seeing the photo's man :wink: ...............but i dunno whats coming first new motor or a frame POS 22r's farked

Hey Jeremy that's f#2King mega flex, what shocks you gonna use on the rear? Will you get any long enough to not inhibit travel ?

9012's all four corners John, They are triangulated in the rear ie- / \ which isn't my ideal setup, but was about the best compromise, to run them straight up and down the way i wanted i would only have had about 2 inches of up travel at rest. Soooooo they are triangulated, gives a bit more body roll but it seems fine. Haven't driven it above 40kms yet as i ran out of high tensile bolts and need one new bush in the A frame.
The travel is pretty much exactly like in the previous pics, although up travel has been reduced a tad to allow for the soon to arrive 37z to not press up against the chassis rails too much. I will post pics with the shocks ASAP.
Cheers, Jeremy

Simply awesome... well done Jeremy and Co.

Looks like I will have to drop in for another sticky-beak very soon.

Dude i go away for a few weekends and this is what you do, sweet
Going to have to come over on the weekend and check it out

looking very BLING BLING !!!!!!
mate it is looking very shweet !!!!!!!
wats the go for trail testing ?????
happnin soon ?????

So what are the odds at that you will flop on your side the first trip out?

Sorry dude although it does look like some real good work went into it i still beleive you can have too much flex.

Ps: Those guys from down south that plan on comming out for the XRCC Day After Party at Outerlimits Proving Grounds will need a winch if you want to drive the newest section because there is nothing without a set of tracks that will drive out the top section without winching. Its a near vertical climp for around 20mtrs through trees on loose dirt.

Jeremy...That is one impressive outfit you've got now.

I bet you can't wait till you take it out.

OK.....They can come and play there are plenty of tracks leading up to the BIG MUTHA, BUT i was thinking if there is a dual locked vehicle or two and they wish to attempt it as long as i run first and turn around i can winch them out with my high mount? (If it is possible, although this is just thoughts in my head, I am sure, we will see how we go after the steps and the first two tracks!)

GUYS, jeremy looks awesome, hypolux, you KNOW you GETTIT!! SO CMAWWWWN lets get twisted!!

And who is going to recover them if they Break? And winch them up the Bowl and out of the Kitchen and into the Loft?

you've got to remember i said this:

"(If it is possible, although this is just thoughts in my head, I am sure, we will see how we go after the steps and the first two tracks!)"

SO we can look around, maybe these guys wont even want to run the tracks!!

What first 2 tracks?
Do you realy think we could run more than one track in a day with approx 10 rigs there?

Considering it took me 3 1/2 hours with a few stops and no breakages, imagine how long it will take 10 rigs to run it!

I think a winch is compulsory for XRCC isn't it.

If it isn't than it is compulsory to have a winch for the "Morning After Party".

BJ it is one thing to be able to winch a rig out the top up the hill, but it will be next to impossible to winch anyone through the rest of the track as you would not be able to turn around!

will troy from final cut be filming the xrcc morning after party?
that would be an awesome video.

I pretty certain he said he would be there!

He would get some awesome footage, and should be a good laugh aswell

well counts me out then if a winch is compulsary looks like ill just b wotchin :(

if double lockers arnt good enuf thats just unlucky 4 me :(

You don't have a winch, man you seriously don't think we drive that stuff in the Pics, we winch everything

No really have a look when you get there!

If your driving home its probly not the best idea to have a ago, as so far its claimed- 1 hilux front axle, one rear rover axle, Twisted front driveshaft spline and who knows what else.

Im hanging for a shot, I may bipass XRCC to get a run in the after party. :wink:

man ill have ago at anything but yeah i stayin the whole week after xrcc so i got plenty of time 2 fix my junk and get it drivable 4 the trip home

Well at least you will have access to plenty of parts staying at RUFFS place.

As long as you don't break anything to major we should be able to get you out, its all part of the FUN

Funny a few people have said that!

I may also end up not being able to enter [$$$ ] but will drive/tow up for the driving in the week surrounding XRCC. I plan on having a winch by then, but not lockers, probably welded rear but that'll be it unfortunatly .

Well, today was a VERY happy day, VERY VERY happy !! Got the final bits and put the A frame back together with a new bush, and jump started the old girl and off we went. I drove it for nearly half an hour in the streets around my area, also a couple of very bumpy potholed roads, and fark me it's absolutly spot on !!!!!! A little bit rough with the shocks set on hardest, but i knew i was gonna have to play with springs anyway. Very little body roll, HEAPS less than dans cruiser !!!
No crabbing, steers straight, brakes straight, peeeervect. Everything works the way it should, brakelines handbrake cables long enough etc, gotta still piss off the proportioning valve as it's a bit in the way.

As i said, hugely happy, thanks to Dan, Travis, Spazbot and Sam for their help !!! Pics of the shock mounts soon. We're gonna retain the coils at this stage and see if it kills the travel, or the springs. Otherwise i'll just have to cone it.
We'll take it for a secret test on sunday
Thanks to everyone else for their comments and enthusiasm, much appreciated.
Cheers, Jeremy

good to hear man
its only taken about 6 months for the whole job to get done but well worth the wait i reckon :wink:
