[mattyj]

[bmurray2250]

Sounds like a nice 4by

 

[Big Matt]

Offers still open if you need a hand with anything or need steel etc

 

[Bainsy]

Pics should be up in the next week or so. Thanks matt ill get onto ya about the drive shafts and steel for the 4 link rear end when im setting it up.

 

[Big Matt]

To easy mate

Are you going to keep this one lower ? Would be a good truck to keep the height down on being fairly compact to start with

 

[frosty]

Sounds SOFT!!!

I reckon the Lada Niva was TOUGHER!!!!! Maybe a Suzi on 37's????

 

[Bainsy]

Yep low and wide is the plan. Only 3" lift. Chopping the hell out of the guards to make 37s fit. Should see the tunnel i have to make to fit the turbo 700 and gq transfer case in! The seats will be almost toutching the doors! Drivers side seat may need to be raised and sliding railed removed. Gonna be fun fun fun!

 

[Big Matt]

are you going to try and engineer it, if so can i watch LOL or track toy ?
3" lift and 37's would make it similar height to standard patrol wouldnt it ?

 

[Bainsy]

Yeah iv alreay contacted an engineer about it. And yeah 3" with 37s the roofline should be similar to a patrol.

 

[Big Matt]

what they recon about engineering 37's ?

 

[Bainsy]

Nah not engineering 37's just the engine, driveline, suspension and passenger compartment. Then add lockers, tyres and go any where bits to it once its engineered.

 

[oznog05]

Hay Bainsy, I reckon you paint it yellow and pink and put flower sticker all over it!....lol

Sounds like you have you're hands full mate, still waiting on pics too!

Have did you go with ya shed too!

 

[Bainsy]

Sheds up! Shire signed it off today actualy so i might extend it soon. Should have pics by end of the week. Im going to put on the 35's with the fliped and 50mm backspaced cruiser rims. Man its gonna be W I D E!

[Big Matt]

Nice, wouldnt have thought it would look that good
Definantly drop the cab, you think your going to have much issue with the tires rubbing the chassis on flex ?

 

[centaur]

Nice looking rig, mate. Should be a beast once it is done. Have to keep the pics coming.....

 

[Bainsy]

I can only drop the body another 30mm but i need to do some body modiforcation first! And theres no way the tyres can hit the chassis unless somthing breaks.

 

[PAJ]

Looking good mate, if ya need any help give me a yell
