Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well tried to get my rocky to go air born but it didnt work mom didnt get the pic taken in time! Had both front wheels off the ground coming out of the ditch and she got it as i was landing! still front passenger side was up about an inch or so when she got the pic! could probaly get all four but it would be dangerous and im not into that im into having fun!The bank is at a angle so it is hard to get both front wheels to hit at same time! Will try to get some mud picks today i will post them here as well! Going to do some serious mudding next weekend though pics to come!

they are not very good but they show what i put it through when i get a person to ride along i will get pics in action instead of before and after!

ok i lied a couple more hope nobody minds!

is that 1st pic of ur car after u did the jump??? coz it looks kinda weird. the front wheel looks like its sittin to far forwards and the arse is sagging big time. either that or i need glasses!!!

that would be after i jumped it ! I kinda bend the bumper back toward the wheel a bit by hitting a tree a week ago so that would acount for the space as for the rest im not sure what ur talking about but if u let me now i would appreciate it!

theres just a difference in the 2 pics of ur rig is all it could just be the camera angles and the positioning of the car. but yeah just making sure you hadnt completly screwed ur car

.....

a good idea for sagging springs

ohhh man i am so jealous rite now

Had my Sportrak (aka Feroza aka Rocky) airbourne whilst off roading
in the Peak District in England (yes we do have hills!) a few weeks ago.
We topped a rocky ascent and I accelerated after it levelled off, hit a dip
and a small ridge and got about 6 inches of daylight under the wheels according to my buddy following behind. The best bit was coming out of my seat!

Air

Hey kent where u been? Kent thats what i mean by to radical for me i can handle a fours but not the front going up a dirt incline lol! Mine was grass and if i would have got the pic it would have been about that high, oh btw cant smoke tires do to the fact its too low geared gotta get the frontand rear solid axles! LOL
If it dont rain on us we plan on going mudding this weekend last time was just too much mud plus we got to take my brothers explorer out with us so should get some good picys!

batshiz,

I've been working on getting ready for the transmission swap and playing around with the ARB's. Did you keep the donor truck? What year was it? `85 was the last year for a solid axle Toy in the US. That's the best one also as it has the most gussets. You're not going to get 40" boggers on there without them

i got some air the other mothth aboyt 5ft of it between the ground and the top of my cab if i did it again i would have aboyt 7ft coz thats how much my roof was crushed but wasent eny of this just pin droping of the diving bord into the water this was a forwad flip with a 360 put in just for fun

no i let the 83 part truck go as i didnt have the money to fix the solid axle on and my brother was moving so had to give it away but i guess when i get a job i will have to buy some axles and get that damn snorkle made lol! I almost drownded it out yesturday it splashed up a little bit! Glad to hear u got the thirds and every thing wish i could be as lucky as u! Hey pigdog sounds a little bad on ur part air is cool as long as u land on wheels only! Should have more picys up sunday if it dont rain are mud run out! Btw kent what kind of adapter did u use for ur springs in front u know to mount them to the frame cuz front is little smaller than the back for width! The center coil spring looks cool for the saggy springs ! LOL

batshiz i did land back on the weels and the scat was running and all just servely stuffed

this was fun until it cost me $330 for a new front diff....

(sorry for pic quality, is a still from the vid).

what the hell are you doin leanin forward?!

not sure exactly.... hahah

batshiz,

After the IFS was removed a hole was drilled in the end of each frame rail. A piece of tubing was offset and welded in. Since the frame does taper towards the front an aluminum spacer was made for the shackle hanger. The rear spring hanger was welded to the frame. This worked OK as a spring under front shackle and I drove it like that for years. I think that I was using Wrangler 2" over leaf paks.

Hmmm....can't seem to upload piccies:

Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/front_right_360.jpg.

Is OuterLimits ready to take a server dump again?

I'll get back with ya.

No luck involved. I am 51 years old, divorced, I have a daughter that is a senior in college (still send child support to her even though I don't have to), I don't own a home and rent a dumpy little apartment, I haven't any bills or credit cards and eat a lot of frozen burritos and pizza's. The Rocky is the only thing that I own that is worth anything. I've put quite a lot of money into it and a lot of time. Even though I am not much of a mechanic it keeps my mind occupied so that I don't make another suicide attempt...genetic biochemical imbalance and not taking medication. I have type 2 diabetes also. I'm pretty screwed up but I have a fairly nice little truck

Toyhatsu - i was going to suggest we ban you posting on this site cause you have always done something better/higher/harder.. and its starting to really make me jealous
only joking... keep up the good work.
