Outer Limits 4x4 Board

as some of you may have seen on the 4WDM forum and the general tech section of this forum, i'm doing a SAS on the Deo with coils all round. should end up with nearly 10" lift with the conversion and 35" tyres.... running on GQ diffs, disc brake rear, 4.88:1 gearing... will post more about it when i get more stuff in for it... i thought i would start a thread here for the isuzu boys to discuss I'm getting very keen!!!

btw.... i have sourced all the running gear for it..... i just need to get to Victoria to pick it up. a complete GQ chassis

mhhhh....something like this ???








good luck with the project ....keep us update !!!!!

i'm going to take a shit load of hi-res pics..... 4WDM are keen to do a story on it as soon as i finish it. If i can get it to flex half as good as yer MU does, i'll be happy.

yeah Mark Allen is waiting on me too...

Looks awesome. I'd be interested in seeing how you you attached front axle. Also, is the AU spec rodeo a recirc ball or rack & pinion steering setup? Mark

it's a reciurculating ball steering. When it's done, i will be using the Nissan steering box, i don't think the OE one would stand up to the job.

It's started..... got stuck into it saturday and got the body off today........ got a long way to go, but i have got a start and it shouild start to take shape in the next month. here is some pics......

Some of the crew hard at it....


New tyres on the left, old ones on the right


What we got to on saturday........


Stripped to the chassis......


Cab in it's resting place for the foreseeable future


Washing a shit load of mud off it..... (no that isn't me)


In the carport ready for work next weekend..... pull out the running gear and chop off all the old brackets


I'll keep ya updated as i go

i have a little more progress...... but i have been slack lately..... i'll post pics over the weekend

I was just reading your thread over at 4wdm, have you sorted the rear springs yet ?

Hey Roe , How is the conversion going ? Is there much more to report as it's been a while since we've heard an update

i have the chassis stripped of all suspension bits..... spent a hundred bux in oxy/acet and about 9 hours in total on a 9" grinder....... i am hoping to finally get the diffs under on the weekend..... IF it doesn't rain! not going as quick as i had hoped.... but it will get there eventually.

is it done yet

Tony,
Any progress?

BTW I still havent had time to fit your old front diff to mine, know how you feel...........

Pete

getting there very slowly mate..... finding the time is a pita at the moment

Tony,
Well I finally found time to fit your front diif to my rodeo.
What a right front bottom of a job on your own.
Surprise surprise no leaks and all works as advertised.
I had to change the side thrust washers to get the clearences in the lokka correct.
Holden/Isuzu dont miss a trick, not one fricken seal or bearing in that axle is available anywhere else but holden $pares.
Also had to buy 2 new axle assemblies ($400 for both trade at repco)as the bearing area for the needle bearing in the knuckle looked like surface of the moon, unfortunately all the ones I got off you were no better or worse.
Fixed a few areas of rust on the cross member mounts and the torsion bar tension mounts while I was in there.
So its all in and working and only cost $800 more than Id counted on, typical project eh.
So hows your extravaganza going?

I guess this thread is dead then?
