you'll need gears...


oh, and you'll put your eye out!






what I would give to go back to the days of "35's will never fit".

P.S, it has to be photogenic, so a bright color, maybe yellow

My thoughts exactly

Today Joe set the caster Big Wheels, Big Monkey Wrench, or otherwise known as a baboon spanner in South Africa.

holy god...that is...huge!

I guess we are just lucky here we can buy em, and dont have to build em with a solid axle

That is a LOW blow right there!!!!

Looking good Christo! Did that 100 get rolled or in an accident? Both front fenders and the DS door are trashed. Also, what steering box is that attached to the drag link? C'mon, give us more!

Yes, but with what motor I think this is easier that a 2UZFE swap into an 80

It might stay green for now. Cost and time is not on our side for a full paintjob.

It wasn't rolled, but it was in a minor fender bender with a tree and a ditch. Trashed the front IFS parts, so it made sense to cut it all off.

Also, what steering box is that attached to the drag link? C'mon, give us more!

80 Series box and we also replaced the power steering pump with a high capacity PSC pump. Planning to do hydro assist on it later. Uses our new hi-steer arms and put the drag link and tie rod in front of the axle.

Man it is killing me that I won't be at CM this year to see this in person. I can't wait to see more pics; keep up the good work!

Very cool, Nice tire choice.

...and he's building a new bumper to carry two spares (1-6 lug and 1-5 lug) .

 

[sleeoffroad]

Rear is converted to 6 lug. Way ahead of you guys.

 

[Greg B]

Did you have to do anything to the oil pan/bottom of engine to clear the live axle?

 

[sleeoffroad]

Other than cutting out all the IFS stuff and redoing the motor mounts, no

6" and 39's.

Hey, your wife will be happy if your new slider is built WITH AHC!

The slider moved 3 inches down when the AHC power is off. The slider goes up when the AHC is on? How about that? ;p

Are you going to make it street legal?

Cheers,

 

[sleeoffroad]

Hell, I might even need the AHC Slider. It is street legal. Same as on 80 series with a 6"/8" lift. We had to go about 8" in the rear to match the front.

why put the rods in front of the axle? and what are you doing for a front bumper? in the pics in the OP, it looks like the front tires are too far forward for the standard ARB style front

 

[sleeoffroad]

We are not running a hi pinion diff, so the tie-rod will not clear the diff. Also we want to run our hi-steer arms to get the angles of the steering better.

As for bumper, busy designing a new front bumper for 100 series.

YES!!!!! Can't wait to see that

Christo what year is that 100? I am assuming it is either a 98 or 99 but not sure?
