"Jafa's Jalopy"...3RZ-FE and on 40's:)

[Jafa]

Not just yet, ran out of time, but I'll get a sign company to do some vinyl later

Jalopy looks awesome and I hate to be grumpy for the love of god STOP QUOTING PICTURES!

[edit] Do you have any pictures of your trailer? I've seen it a bit in a few videos but I'm interested in how you're moving your truck around as mine will be a similar size

ya quoting the same pics over an over is a p.i.a!
My trailer is a bit light for carrying it, I'm gonna beef it when I have some spare time. The Jalopy weighs 1560kg with a full tank, and on the trailer they both weigh 1875kg, so well under the 2000kg mark. I'll chuck up some pics of it later

Here is the Jalopy finished finally, 11pm tonite

hey Hayden, fix up ya pbucket links man, don't want that shite on my thread!

Well after a good couple of months of not wanting anything to do with 4wd'ing in general, (due to some NZFWDA dickheads/Pureora and the drama at the Costa club) its come time for the last round of our club champs, I thought we'd enter for a laugh
Now rock-crawlers don't turn circles well at the best of times, let alone on a trials type course, so I'm chucking some fiddle brakes on the back in an effort to at least finish some hazards!

Here's the push - pull lever mounted on the tunnel, its a completely separate system from the existing brakes.



I'm using a solid rotor Hilux caliper...the Commodore ones I used for the normal brakes wont be strong enough to lock the wheel, hopefully the Hilux 4 pots will do it





Just got to run some flexible lines, add a reservoir to the master cylinders and she should be done...

I like to think of them as "enhancements" or maybe just more shiny bits of bling so someone will fall in love with it and buy it off me

Dude you don't have enough levers in there.


Is the lever supposed to be actuated by you while you drive, by the passenger or by both?
