:lol: it would of been easier using some pinion angle correction wedges in the spring perchers wouldent it :?: just a thought,and less crap to get ripped of that way.

i thought the front would need the wrap bar more than the rear ,for the simple reason of pinion wrap and castor correction issues from the soa
conversion.



:D ive been watching woppass and always wondered why you hadent look at it ages back :D :D after breakn those other members.

looking good woopass :D

cheers man,it is a work in progress.

the castor in the front is bang on and doesnt seem to have the same issues the rear does with axle wrap so thats why i have chosen to leave the front and just work on the rear which is the one that needed it, im going to look at popping some wedges in to correct the rear castor at some stage but the main problem is that the leaves are so supple that the axle can turn them inside out under heavy loading so thus why i have done the rear stabilizer/tramp rod/torsion bar....whatever you want to call it.after yesterdays trip and the rock crawling that was done.... it seems to be doing the job just nicely :D

and with it bing up above the drive shaft,to get torn off there it would be a whole mess of trouble as the driveshaft would be gone aswell :shock:

Hope you point them all here... thats what I do... Means you can answer their questions properly... TradeMes Q&A space is tiny and limiting... ORE is a much more flexible space...
