Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey i have an 80 series chassis and i am goin to put the diffs under my 60 but im thinking about going for a 4-link setup in the rear i have been reading about them and they seem pretty simple and ill get alot of flex, has anyone made one, is there any thing i need to know?
thanks tyson

speak to bubs off here - he has done heaps and they work a treat!

Why not put the 60 body on the 80 chassis ?

well thats how i first planded to do it but i thought it might be easyer to put the diffs under the 60 chassis cause i could try and use the original mounts... what would be easyer to do and to get engineered??

your in QLD!

easiest to keep it stock! . nothing gets through these days ....

cant do a chassis swap no more. best best wold be to cut all mounts off and paste them onto the 60 chassis.


but speak to an engineer first.

another option is ICV but it actually needs to be individual constructed vehicle now, no body swaps. so youll have to get welds inspected etc. if you just grind all the markings off an 80 series chassis, get the thing inspected as individually constructed then your right (dodge)

(the comments above are in no way me saying it can or should be done, just how i interperate the rules in my shonky mind)

whats the chances of getting cought if i dont get it engineered?

so if the welds are perfect and there is nothing dodgy would it pass? what would i have to do to get it through

can you expland this in a bit more detail? wat is a individual constructed vehicle?
thanks tyson

dont even go near ICV, my understanding it has to meet todays ADRs.....yea no

i dont have the book saved anymore but;
basically it states that to be an icv it has to be a custom made chassis and or an unrecognisable body to a production vehicle. it has to complete a swerve, brake, headlight, emissions test etc. and those standards have to be of a vehicle prouced today.

its very hard to meet all the criteria. was easy a few years ago but they have cut down on the dodgey people doing hotrods etc.

about the engineering. who cares about getting caught so much as killing someone in an illegal car and being charged with manslaughter.

yeah good point
