Re: Challenger question
it appears to be my friends old truck followed my twin lock safari around a fair few tracks , a great buy
89 safari, pto winch, 33x15 simexs. sliders,75mm lift . turbo intercoolered
Re: Challenger question
For that price you can not go wrong.
Ide be all over that if I had the cash, that's cheap for the money spent. You pay $6k for a tidy standard challenger.
That would be extremely capable.

Dooo iiitttt

Well if I need some info about it I will have to ask you nicely

Thats bloody torsion bars for ya
Especially when they have a couple of hundred thousand KMs on them.
I've found that the only way to knock the (modified) Nissan IFS out of alignment is if the t-bars sag when it takes a big hit.
Hence I am trying to design a coil spring conversion using an air-shock for fine tuning the ride height, and with camber adjustment built into the upper control arm. Need to submit the plans to an engineer (a real engineer) to see if there are any fatal flaws with the design.
But the bottom line is - you'll be spending more time under any vehicle that is used off road.
