Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Puk your shit up

Ive run 37" normal spec tyres for 2-3 years in comp and social wheeling - no issues

Used some 40" sticky treps at the last rock comp and i think the damage bill will surpass the cost of the tyres themselves...

that is all

What are you breaking?

that's coz you don't have any mechanical sympathy and drive like a wombat

maybe the toybox will slow you down a bit

haha tru that...

Well so far the damage is

Rhs&Lhs swivel hub kingpin threads stripped
Rhs Hub studs and dowel holes mangled
Rhs locking hub flange mangled
Rhs&Lhs locking hub engagement spline ring
Lhs axle
Lhs Longfeild cv
Snapped diff housing (tore a 10mm hole in the bottom)
RHS knuckle ball lower part where the kingpin bearing cup goes has bent up enough to not let me take the cv out...

All this is just the start lol

Time to make things betterer?

Crikey Zoltan, thats alot of damage from a simple tyre size upgrade.

I've broken less on 40" stickys than I did on 37 Claws

As if! I've driven it more this year than I have in the past 2 odd years

So does that mean you never drove it the 2 yrs previous

I can't talk it is coming on 2 yrs since I last drove mine & I broke both CV's then.

Tom I dont think you can really blame the tyres for all the damage.
The comp was just a hard mother farker.
And some of that damage was due to your heavy right foot!
Bloody hell you went quick through the mud.
Anyway if you reckon the tyres are to blame swap me for my half worn 39.5 Iroks.
Vid of the comp in question.

I just watched that................................................ YOUR BLAMING THE TYRES?!?!?!?!?

This is just a gee up thread for sure!

p.s. I'd think you can probly add chassis damage too that list for sure!

You're driving style sure run's off your sig

I've got access to some GU front assemblies

Seriously mate, i was standing directly in front of ya when it bent, and although you hit a 6 ft drop off at 70 kmh, it suprised me how much it bent lol, must have been all the prior punishment i reckon

Paul is right you just need some old swampers I didn't break anything in my drive train but then I drive like fairy compared to you

haha its what i built it for... why go easy on it?

Id rather break things and make them stronger than build something and just wheel 1/2 cocked all the time.

Im not convinced about GU fronts... i know this will stir up some of the nissan die hards but after seeing every patrol GQ/GU breaking cvs axles and diffs like nothing id rather stay with my toy gear.

Shit my longfeild broke and my standard axle is still sweet lol.

Stickys are ShortyIQ sweet, ill just have to make everything else stronger.

Anyone want to find me some d60/70 axles with all the beef and setup for highsteer Dont mind paying for it if they are going to be the dux nutz

Yeah mate its our attempt at making a TT style event. Id say even some of you easterners would have some fun over here.

might hit up the relos next time its on and trailer mine over.
Its not a real high speed event is it?

nah mate its just like TT all rock based crawling then a night time mud run u can go as fast as you can/want

yeah sweet.is there a website?
cheers

bit of an average site i know but the event is far from it haha

Cool...use them to anchor a boat somewhere.

Zoltan if you're gonna drive it like its built to take it then you better build it stronger. Put around 10k into a front Solid D60 or a Spider9 with 35spline axles and then go nuts.

Micka

looking at the spider9 website they are pretty cheap, For around the 10k mark i could almost get both front and rear

Your not looking at the right Spider9 then dude. With the $ being good I priced one yesterday. $5800ish AUS Complete minus centre or Locker. Shipping is about 10% of the purchase price

Would it be cheaper to go mog diffs? that would be sick, or are they not much good for hgher sppeds?

Thats 6650, and we haven't priced U joints, 3rd housings, pinion supports, ring and pinions, bearings (theres a couple of hundred bucks in decent ones), ARBs, yet..... Do you need a high pinion front? the high9's are $$$$$.... I've never heard cheap and spidertax in the same sentance, but it is good stuff tho. I run the housings and drive slugs. The time is definitely right with the dollar

You haven't mentioned Brake Rotor's, Cailpers, Mount's, Pad's, etc

My order/quote is $5,546.15US with out Locker, centre or U-joints. Thats Just a Front Steer diff

Is there any one else that make's A/M Housing's/Right hand Drop Dana's?

Solid don't exist
Spider's are expensive

You could get a left hand drop D60, flip, cut, rotate, etc

yep it adds up quick.

I thought that someone had bought the name Solid and was producing again - possibly these guys: http://spyntec.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I have seen them advertising very recently at events and in US print media.
Ballistic Fab still have them on their website: http://www.solidaxle.com/ProductCart/pc ... category=6" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This is what is the rage on pirate right now:

I can't get on facebook atm or I'd link to the pic of the Toyota 10.5something inch rear diff that is in the back of Randy's new Bomber II, including ARB - it's sweeeet.
