Have been told I won’t be getting my licence back until next year at the earliest so I’ve decided to drop the ride height and the front panhard is clashing with the diff head so i have to move it back 40mm and extending the towers for coilovers by 150mm and put 2” surf springs in the rear which...

Fair to say she’s an absolute weapon the 1hdt is heaps more powerful I don’t know the factory hp but easily the fastest truck I’ve ever driven the power to weight is awesome! The truck squats when I put my foot up it, haven’t got out of third gear yet but very impressed!

I kept exploding dies on the Chinese pipe bender so the bar works been put on hold for now, the exhaust warped a wee bit when I finnish welded it and viabrated on the sill sometimes on idle so I redone the second half of it now it’s perfect and hopefully quiet enough for cert man with one res in...

Thanks mate! Yeah should be a bit of fun eh!

Here’s some more random pics as I like to read a good pic heavy thread myself I took my springs in to chamberlains to get reset as it was a bit high in the front, and the buggers painted them red! Pretty flash, hope they make it go faster!

So just last week I bought a cheap Chinese pipe bender and some 32nb pipe 6 lengths so plenty to get around the truck I’m hoping, it wasn’t too badly priced so I got enough to do an exo or keep a bit forbthe next oroject if need be, I’ve only made the rock sliders so far and bent a few bits for...

A few more pics of the snorkel just needs a good tidy up with the flap disc and she’ll be off to the powdercoaters I’m pretty happy with how it ended up will be a lot better when it’s not so shiny I think

Well I’ve had some 4” food grade stainless pipe in the back of the truck for a while now I found a pretty sharp deal on it and couldn’t help myself...I went to my engineer friend and got about a metre square of 3mm mild steel and started measuring it out, I found a peice of inch angle iron and...

Once I got the welding all finnished off I could finally lift a wheel up and check everything over on full flex... well I couldn’t get the engine crane to go high enough but I measured to the bottom of the tire and it was 1100mm off the ground with a fair bit of droop and a little more uptravel...

My phone had a spaz and wouldn’t let me put any more photos up so here’s a couple pics of panhard and front link setup I bought a swivel hub rebuild kit off trademe new rotors and callipers to give the front axle a good freshen up so now I know where I’m at I also got some force4 manual hubs as...

Here’s a couple of pics of the rear panhard crossmember I’ve gone with a 3 Link with panhard in front advance that’s the best way I could think of doing it radius arms would of been a lot easier but I learnt a lot and I’ll get a lot more flex out of the 3 link than I would with any radius arm...

I have gone with a fourlink rear setup and I used a rear half of a ln130 surf chassis to chop the rear panhard mount out and used the spring seats and bumpstops allso, the rest is all custom made in the backyard out of box section and 6mm plate 80 series springs in the rear and 2inch lift gq...

So this is how she sat for a few months while I kept on collecting the bits I wanted ended up buying an 80 series lsd for the rear I finally had enough parts to start trying to throw her back together so I went to steel and tube and picked up some sch80 like pipe and rolled her around on to the...

I’m just waiting on custom drag link to arrive as I have gone 3link front with safari axle, so I haven’t been able to put it through it’s paces just yet but I fed it the jandle when I was moving it out into the backyard and she’s got some get up n go! I will keep ya posted but I think it’s going...
