Bought 50mm wheel spacers from 4wdbits, always a fair deal
had a few test drives ended up on two wheels almost tipping so should help with stability

[Mattrade]

All tacked together, thinking of a hood scoop / bulge to bring it all together.

[madlux]

The longer wheel base is looking really good. Nice work

[Mattrade]

Little more done today, starting to come together

[Colinl]

looking good dude! very tidy & consistent work!

[Scruffy]

Very impressive work mate, liking it. Just a thought I had watching your video, I could be wrong, but would it be worth running a remote trumpet off your blowoff valve, last thing you want is it going off underwater and the possibility of getting water into your plumbing...? I know they breathe out, and would make an interesting sound if it did go off underwater (*kid brain kicks in and thinks of farts in the bath*).

You can plumb it back in before the turbo. There are a few advantages there, the compressed air going back in will keep the turbo spinning faster, you computer won't over fuel (if you use an AFM) and you will take away the leak point.

Very nice truck by the way

[madlux]

Sounds like its turbo stall making the blow off valve sound?? Are you running the standard inline valve? Or have you hidden a bov in there somewhere? If not you should run one to reduce the turbo stall as it soon stuffs them. And run it back into the system like said above...

[Mattrade]

Thanks for all the comments your all right ha ha. The sound is blow back on the turbo. BOV still not re installed, weighting on front panels before I finish off with a air box and that's when I will plumb in the return of stock bov.

[shortylux]

Looking good bro. Your work is motivating.

[Mattrade]

Thanks Shortylux, Im keeping up to date with your project what a beast, keep it up

Looking forward to putting all this panel work behind me almost there

[Mattrade]

Finished off tube fenders on one side tonight.

[Mattrade]

Finished bending up other side and welded it all up. But just looked like it might pivot if it was hit hard enough so added a tube to tie it back to the chasse.

Thinking of either ally for wheel wells or a plastic of like 6mm thick but just not sure where to buy it yet. Any ideas??

[surf93]

I just read your post from beginning to end what you have done is an inspiration good sh#t

[Mattrade]

Thanks man Its been fun build Just the last push now, I want it to be ready for my club safari in 2 weeks

[Mattrade]

Got all my welds cleaned up over the weekend and painted. Panel work on the back burner just concentrating on getting the main stuff done.

[shortylux]

Ba. panels are overrated.
As usual, nice work.

[Mattrade]

Sorted out my filter ready for a snorkel. and installed bov. Miss the back spin sound

[Mattrade]

Had no room up front for battery's. So installed them in the back. Glad to get some weight back there too.

[zukmeista]

Thats a lot of weight on those tailgate hinges, they have been known to rip out with the weight of a large spare tyre and you have batteries on there as well.

[Mattrade]

Hey ya that is a concern. although my tire is on its own swing away from the back bumper. Think maybe ill ad a frame under the box to support the weight but not attached so I can still open the tail gate.
Thanks, good to have a extra point of view. Keen on learning the easy way

[zukmeista]

Oh didn't notice you had a swing away Batteries are still pretty heavy though so some additional support would be good.

[Mattrade]

Had a wicked weekend up north with the Rodney off road club, and really tested out the truck for its madden voyage.

Had a ball and no breakages which I was not expecting.

[passengerpete]

ya inner guards look great, might have to copy ya on this one.

[Batfastard]

Cheers for the lend of the petrol .thought ur truck went and look good .top effort on ur build

[Mattrade]

Thanks man good meeting u. Thought your pto was awesome

Got one side of my guards done. Now to build up motivation to do the other side:roll:

[Mattman]

Nice work on the guards!

I would also be lining the battery box with something so the housing isn't an earth. Easy to drop something into the box and create a short with all those positive connections around.

Matt.

[tuff lux]

Nice coming along good

[Mattrade]

Thanks, ya I shoved a old rubber car mat over the top to cover terminals, but I like the idea of gluing rubber on the inside of the box seems like a good idea.

[churchill]

Nice work man, keep it up!
