Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just wondering where to get some limiting straps from, preferably in Melbourne. Trying to reduce CV carnage for an IFS front end.

How bout seat belt material?

You can buy this stuff from any rock climbing outlet and cheap

HRZOOK

I've got IFS on my Rodeo. Needing limiting straps would imply that we have front wheel travel to begin with

IFS with travel yeah I know but I'm changing my suspension around and will have more travel than the CV operating angle can handle until I can sort out a solution for that and no I don't want a SAS so limiting straps will be the order of the day. Also when I resolve the CV angle issue the straps will then be used to stop the struts from bottoming out hard.

Why not look into getting a diff lowering kit? I know thy make them for Isuzus and Forerunners.

Already doing that.

limiting straps make the baby jebus cry




but seriously, whats happening?

i`m on 2inch lifted springs, 1 inch spacers OME struts with flipped mounts so i get a good amount (for IFS anyway) of travel out of the front of mine without any issues

Just increase the top bump stop in length.

Calmini 3" + OME struts = extra droop

What vehicle is this for anyway CJ? Is hard to tell from your pic.

LWB Vitara. The Calmini 3" suspension already uses strut spacers and drops the diff a little but the Old Man Emu struts I also have are longer than those supplied in the kit and have more travel. The inner CV has a fairly shallow operating angle therefore the need at this stage to limit droop within reasonable operating parameters until I can find a decent solution.

didn't steve G put these starps on to the other calmini equipped zook in the club?

Talk to Cheezy, I'm pretty sure he sells them.

This is the second time I have heard this nasty rumor As much as I would like to, I haven't fitted limiting straps to Paul Mac's car.

For those who don't know, Vitara's do not have rebound snubbers ("top" bumpstops) and the calmini lift kits use a VERY long spring that is heavily compressed to attain the lift height. When the suspension bounces, the springs slap the struts into full extension very hard and in the case of the other Calmini equipped car inthe club, this slapping action smashed a Calmini strut.

The idea with CJ's car is to run a longer and softer strut than the Calmini strut, and ideally use a limitng strap to prevent the springs smashing the strut or pulling the CV apart.

Steve.

If ya have trouble finding some or they want an arm and a leg for them gis a yell, i have made a couple of sets up before just need to know how you want to fix them to the vehicle and length(everyone wants somthing different so my preference will be different to yours undoubtedly) rated 2t webbing is under $1 p/mt so don't pay much and fittings aint dear if ya need any.....Just tryin ta help ....
have fun!

Look up Superior Engineering, they sell em, but in QLD.
