Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day guys- after much deliberation i have decided that a 1hz pc would be the best bet for going bush in due to the fact that they are reliable, easy to prepare for sleeping in, false floor, storage draws etc. I assume they are quite a heavy 4wd, so i am planning on fitting front and rear lockers and decent size tyres to overcome this disadvantage in boggy situations- one problem solved.
i also want good departure and ramp over angles, and fair articulating ability coz i go to the pilbara a lot and it's quite harsh, rocky country up there- i was thinking 2 or 3 inches of lift, but would this make it too top heavy? (or do they just "look" top heavy?) i am hoping to counter this with a bit more offset in the wheels (if that's possible without doing something illegal with spacers....) but i'm not 100% sure what i'm doing. basically i want my pc to go anywhere- please help!!

p.s- what sort of fuel economy could i expect from this monstrosity? i am hoping for about 7kms per litre???

thanks in advance for your help guys

ive seen a pc witha spring over conversion done though a smaller set of leaf springs was put in and he was runin 35" bfg muddies and he neva rolled so u should b rite. m8 wot size tires was u thought of running??

prob 33s i guess- i want to go taller but without going to wide so as to avoid punctures, road noise and excess fuel consumption.
is it not a common thing to lift pcs?

for a start, its a troopy, not a pc

it's never going to be a rockhopper, just bear that in mind!

couple of difflocks, and 33s and you'll go anywhere a sensible Troopy owner would ever hope to come back from.

I ran 35s on mine for a weekend, with 2" lift and some sledgehammer modding, they fitted, but gave me very little room for error, 33s fit nicely.

Have heard they are top heavy and are prone to the odd tip over or too.And if u fit a wider rim to a wide tyre it will reduce the tyre bulge , then fit flares to cover the small amount of the tyre hangin out of the guard

When i was up at lancelin 2 years ago.. there was an Opposite Lock troopy running a SPOA and huge 3/4 Eliptic spring packs, and 35's. Looked very top heavy but was hooning around the sand dunes all day without a problem...

keep you weight low and you will be ok.....spoa gives nice lift and run 35s

good luck

dude go for it.

i have 33's, 2 inches of lift. it feels scary as s**t on side slopes but i have never rolled it. i would hate to really push it though. When you look at it, the only difference between a troopy and a cab chassis is the roof area behind the b pillars from the bottom of the window up.

i have set mine up for touring and i have no regrets. i can sleep in it. have home made storage. a shower, a decent stereo and dvd player. You can be very comfortable in one of these. not a lot of spare room in the 75 engine bay for ancilliaries but a little bit of imagination will get you through.

would love to say hello and swap ideas sometime dude. PM me if you want.
