Kons 45 SOA Upgrade

Are you taking reservations yet? You'll get more than Sir Richard Branson and his new spaceplane.

You can bet on a line of blokes like me from the States just drooling for a chance to ride biatch.
Nice work, and excellent photo history.
Thanks.

its been a while since I updated.. a fair amount has happened to the truck!

i'll try and keep it in order.

finished making the wrap bar, tried to get the lower bar to offer some protection to the driveshaft. I've since been told the
shackle mount should be the other way around.. when I eventually got some flexy time it didn't limit travel so I will keep it as is..

only photo i'v got.. sorry.


here's the cage progression
main hoop:

with backstays:

now with outside hoop and the rear shock hoop is done.. went with something I haven't seen before but probably knocked off from somewhere.
you can also see the semi-temporary battery tray

i kind of get pretty light on with photos now.. we had a deadline looming!



here's how it sat before the new seats went in.

here's it sits with the seats in

that's pretty much it until I took it out for the 1st time.
let us know what you think!

and now for the action shots!!
These shots were taken at a property few hours east of Perth. Some of these were taken by professionals, including 4x4Images. If you guys want me to include anything just PM me.

Looks awesome. I like the articulation you have in the suspension. Very impressive, nice work.

Cheers guys!!

Cheers, yeah man!! The Trepadors are one of the only sticky compound tyres we can get in Australia and they are amazing!! Traction was never an issue, ran them at 10psi.

We have them here, but the treps are cheaper and perform better in our conditions.

What size tires are you running now? Still a 37?
