2WD/4WD options

Diff lock

Axle Lock

Haha wonder how something like that'd do in competitions, remove rear tray, like some 31's may be bit front/top heavy though, but would be real light...

hydrulic suspenion kit

12 volt two motor & pump set up with 4 rams & spring set up out of a vitara all working but two hoses will need repair (weeping) comes with 3 large auto batteries

[mroffroader]

hahaha you bet me to it, i saw it to lol

[dazza85]

Forgive my ingorance

How does the hydrulic suspenion work ??

[icekayak]

not exactely sure how it works but this is what it can do

http://funhight.blogspot.com/2006/09/you-can-do-this-with-your-hydraulic.html







Basically i think you can just control height of each corner separately using hydraulic rams etc...

[turoa]

hey, they've got more articulation than mroffroader

[icekayak]

and then there's these guys....

who needs ground clearance anyway

Haha OOPS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3BdJjnbhF0

Here's an idea though... fit some hydraulic rams to roof of a rollcage so you could just roll yourself backover again

[callum007]

that idea had been suggested due to amount of time i spend on my side...

Monster Truck diffs





Then the tyres are avaliable also:

4 Goodyear TerraTyre tyres and rims ex JCB Fastrac. 54x31-26 10 ply rating.Very little wear on the rubber. These can be run safely down to 5 psi if required. Would suit a "Monster Truck" application.





Then fit it with the hydraulic suspension
