project bulldozer

safari_mulisha · Post by **safari_mulisha** » Tue May 15, 2007 2:36 pm

well when i got my safari first thing i did was remove all bumpers
it was standard on 31s and had no winch
me and a mate put a 5inch api pipe on the front to save my grill untill i got a winch i allso installed a 50mm body lift

so even pigs can fly but i didnt want it to fly i wanted it to smash thru the bush and get me through the biggest bogs

after all this playing around getting stuck was frustrating me so i fitted a winch which has saved me and a few mates

now i needed more traction i put the task to 34x10.5 simex jungle treckers
which i allso had to cut my gaurds to fit

with the bigger tyres i was down on power so last week i fitted an hx35 digger turbo i run less that 15psi usually around 10 depending on load

so shes just about a bulldozer i will keep you posted to my progress next will prob be a spring lift or bars

That front right looks as though it's landing over the edge...

how do you install a turbo... well you get a hammer and a tube of Fix-All :lol:

I love the pics... I think your bulldozer needs a blade tho

Did you get vid of you killing the bike, reminds me of some of the shit we did when I was DH'ing

Cheers Reece
