Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just knocking some ideas around for a new tray. This is pretty close to what I want, except I will probably change it so it doesnt come back under so far. I'll extend the chassis instead.

Note: I have to add in the supports for the main hoop, so don't get your "not enough triangles" panties all wadded up OK



EDIT: forgot to add pic

looks good, get that pos on the road sometime this century

Cmon, it hasn't been that long has it? And now that I can never be surpassed as a web-wheeler, I am now working on being a web-fabricator as well

Been tweaking it a bit, I think this is getting pretty close.

Blue is the diff housing, white is the shocks. I actually moved the diff back 200mm for this design, which fixes a lot of problems i have been having. That will put the wheelbase at about 102", and i'm guessing that will stretch out a bit more once I figure out the front end.

The hoop that runs around the bottom of the first design looks good, why not run that in the second design but butt weld it into the legs as opposed to running it on the outside.

Would give you somewhere to mount lights without getting them smashed.

Also is that two sections of tube i see on the top of the b-pillar support?

Yep, i'm going to add that in for that exact reason. I may use a smaller section tube though.

Yeah, I was just playing with a couple of ideas, i'll have to chop it out.

lazy axle ??
doesn.t have a centre !!!!!!!!

oh yeah , looks good !!!!

FWD

Made a few changes. Chopped a couple of things that didnt need to be there. Even added a diff centre for Moose


I extended the lower bar all the way around. I could even use this to screw on some plastic panels for a pre-runner kinda look.


You can see the bar along the back. The larger material is 1.75", the smaller is 1"



And to put things in perspective, I added some 37"... errr... octagons

looks good!

BTW, who manufactures the octagon's?? Don't spose they balance too well for onroad use

Cool, a zook paddlesteamer! No seriously, looks good.

Should balance up fine just be a bit lumpy. But he wouldn't get far on slicks.

I notice you're running an open centre why not a locker. Oh it's an air locker that'd be why.

I think u need to quit rippn handbrakie's & do they smoke up yellow?

I have been working on this a bit more lately. There was a couple of things I didn't like about the existing design so I decided to start from scratch, that's one thing about doing it in software first! I've kept it pretty simple so far, but i'm liking it.


And what good is it without a matching front bar?


Side view


One of these might end up replacing my ARB bar I think

You mean your going to strap your PC to the front of your Zuk with that picture on it.

Looking good! I will need to go through this process some time down the track

That front bar could turn out very

reminds me of this bar.

Damo: What CAD package are you using to draw this barwork?

Not straps cable ties of course:finger:

That's the pic I was looking for! I reckon I did a pretty good copy for not seein the pic for ages! That's Fatkid's zook, the pic was off PBB originally. Must be a few years ago now.

It's not a CAD package per se. Bend-Tech SE it's called. Info -> www.2020ssi.com

Looks alot like Inventer.

Why do you have so much cross bracing under the tray?

RHS may be a better option for these tubes as it would offer a flat surface you could screw/bolt/sika to sheets to.

Give the tray more rigidity as well as give something to mount the ally sheet to. I was hoping to use thinner sheet so would need smaller spans.

Yep, I think that's what i'd use. BT only does round tube at the moment, though I believe development versions handle SHS.

and i bet ya paint it pink too !!!!!

Yeah, but that's only because I couldn't be bothered doing it rainbow

cool I think it would look better if that top bar ran from the top of both hoops.

So how much toob is in the the tray .. (what would it weigh roughly )

I actually remember the days when damo had a zook on the road way back when...........

LOL

Dunno, I would have to punch the numbers in, but don't have the weight specs for the tube. I'll chase em up next week and see what I can come up with.

At least I do my own fab work besides, the mongrel is home and in the shed. Just gotta do something with it now!!!
