Nice work, I will be watching this thread.

[niblik]

well done dude.. dont worry about your english... its better than my czech!!

with your pics, when uploadin them to the net, maybe try downsizin em a bit and then you could use the [Img] button rather then the [URL]...

[passengerpete]

looks like your going to have fun. keep up the good work. i have done something similar to you. lots of information on this site, and helpful buggers too.
look forward to your progress.

next week i will go for the axles from patrol GR Y61 maybe stronger than y60
but i have got a problem with spring rate and spring length!

i want to run 12" travel bilstein shocks (ext: 30", coll: 18")
additional weight in front (winch, bumper) 110kg=240lbs
additional in rear (bumper, 2nd tank, sleeping, 5th wheel) 140kg=310lbs
originally whole car weight (with axles, but springs and shocks dont carry axles and wheels) is 1900kg=4200lbs

what spring rate and length choose?

[tsin]

no axles

[tsin]

front end of the frame is ready for SAS now

[Dirtydog]

looking good,

cant wait to see how you figure out what springs etc to go.

ive got a y60 front in mine, with standard terrano rear, 4.11 gears. just standard safari springs for now, raised front 3 inches higher than rear, but my engine is probably half the weight of the td42...

ive got a real nice ride, but will get some longer travel shocks later down the track and she will be sweet, oh and some nice mud tyres.

How are you going to do the front shock towers?

with mine we cut the original one from the y60 and welded it to the frame.

looking foward to seeing more

[klompy]

That dude could be a kiwi with a workshop like that

cant wait to see it too i dont really know what spring rate and legth to choose..
from that reason i want to do adjustable shock and spring towers, something like that

[Dirtydog]

now that is awesome.

i wonder if that is legal over here, as i could see it would be very usefull.

[tsin]

welcome home patrol Y61 axles and 35x13,5" maxxis

[tsin]

new coil springs are home.. both- front and rear are 22" long

the black ones are original patrol y61 coils

[Dirtydog]

what are the bigger ones out of?

look like they would give a pretty decent lift lol

[tsin]

it was custom made for 2000kg trial jeep, hope it will be ok..



waiting for beadlock now, then i put the axles under the car

[tsin]

where to buy these boots please?

[Fakey]

Any shop that sells terrain tamer gear should be able to get those boots

[tsin]

uhh new beadlocks.. like em

[tomsoffroad]

[tsin]

beadlock welding

[niblik]

Great form dude. They look like they're comin up well. Just a trial fit prior to painting? Nothin like weldin in the great outdoors!

[tsin]

yes.. just trial fit (and pressurized- leak test) before galvanizing and painting

[tsin]

some works done

[tsin]

front axle waiting

[tsin]

all wheels beadlocked.
still waiting for package from US with rear 4-link joints

[Dirtydog]

that is looking awsome, wish my terrano looked as cool as that.

[tsin]

4link joints are home
now waiting for rear link tubing

in free time re-welding oil pan for more front axle clearance (flex)

[tsin]
