Yea, both are bent a little and I just haven't had time to work on the bumper. I've been wheeling it too much I guess and have several big rides coming up in the next two months so it may be a while

I found that I was loosing 3" of travel on the rear axle so I redesigned the shock mounts which gave me the 3" back and a little more clearance.

This is what I had.

This is the extention, made from 1/4" flat stock.

You can see where the old post was cut off and relocated.

Finished.

Very cool idea. That should work out a lot better.

Now if I only had volvo portals....(sigh)

TiredIronGRB · 04-09-08, 04:34 PM

Well it's time to move on, I sold the Cruiser to my Dentist (he should be on here any day now). I thought I should sell it while it was still in one piece, so I let Matt have it and got a Jeep Liberty.

Wrench · 04-09-08, 04:41 PM

TiredIronGRB · 04-09-08, 07:28 PM

I really like the Liberty, it goes a lot better off road than I thought.

I suppose that makes sense. There are a lot of people in the 4x4 community who could use a good Dentist.

Now you'll be needing to build that diesel powered 80 series 6x6 to haul the new Liberty around piggy back style.

Wrench · 04-10-08, 05:13 PM

Buggies are a dime a dozen. The 80 had character. Nothing special about a buggie.You should of kept the cruiser.

BenMara · 04-10-08, 05:16 PM

ahh i miss harlan i was there for the opening and havent been since

Well if I had kept the 80 I would have destroyed it soon, everytime I took it out it got a little more damage. This is why I sold it to Matt, he will take care of it and the buggy works better for the type wheeling I do. Also, true comp buggies aren't a dime a dozen.

I absolutely love those Volvo C3 trucks... I have been obsessed with them ever since I saw what your axles came off of! I think that will be my first purchase after a house... So simple yet they are really built well. I love the vacuum lockers and weight distribution on them! Plus Volvo is the Toyota of Europe as far a longevity
