Hj 60 project, photos of the whole thing

[nicko]

Well I got my rear axle back from the workshop and the bill was 500 bucks. I'm gonna try to put it under this weekend and also the 80 gallon tank under. I have to modified the tank first because the drive shaft was pounding in to the tank. So stay tuned for more pics.

Ps. I'm hoping to get the flares in next week

Well, I finally getting my flares. I'm getting them tomorrow. I can't wait to try them on. I will try to post some pics this weekend so you can see how big they are (15 inches)

Sounds like things are going great. Love to see pictures of the tank and the whole set up.

Cool thread.. Those are some big flares. Does the law require you to have flares that cover the tires?

The bigger tires help you from sinking down in the snow as much due to the bigger footprint? Do some of the small offroad trucks up there actually float in water?

You guys in Reykjavik?

 

[Talos]

yes the law states that the flares must cover the thread of the tire.

...there are some suzuki foxes here on 44" DC, they can float a bit...

but we have other means to float on water too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD0hN-96ypE

I will hopefully paint my flares next Thursday if the guys in Formverk will finish them for me by then.

So you think rock crawling is extreme This is a real 4x4 sport

Well I got some work done this weekend. Enjoy

Next things are bumpers and sidesteps... or balconys as I prefer to call them

 

[Talos]

looking good

Wow.. Cool pictures. Nice to see it outside now. Those tires are huge. . Those like 46"? So does the rear fender clear the backseat side doors. They are going to be balconies. You will be able to setup a chair and sit out on the balcony and drink a beer.

What kind of trips you got planned this summer in it?

 

[Ducks]

Excellent. You'll have to post some pictures of it in action, too, when you take it out.

Pretty impresive dude .. !

The 46"Trxus is only 4 cm lower than the 46" MT and the Trxus is also wider, 21" against 19".
I had to cut a little piece from the flare so I could open the door. Then the guys in Formverk added an L in to it to close the cap.

Here you can see how I "glued" the flares to the car. When this is dry I can literally stand on the flares and they won't go off .
