I guess you didn't put pic's up unless you wanted comments....

Why did you go to all that work then leave so much overhang and make a deck in what looks like 5 minutes??

Try some softer springs in the front too, the original IFS has more travel than that.

holy overhang batman. In my opinion, you should cut it off, better departure angle.

I think its cool.

and is practical with the big tray.

overhang is better than it was before with the full body so why get on his case about it. I doubt he has moved the rear axle forwards to make it worse :lol:

obviously needs softer front springs though! but cool truck.

looks good.

I would be tempted to push the rear axle back a smidge (6-8 inches) though so any weight on the deck is over it rather than behind it.

I would chope the rear off the tray too. but I would put sides on it and see if I could make up a removable tray end so it remains usable.

but otherwise my dream Pajero in the metal. :lol:

the rear springs are obviously too stiff...... :lol:

just kidding. That'll shoosh everyone up!

Awesome truck.

Have you taken a radius arm bolt out to do that?

What arms do you have in the front?

The front is moving awesome now for radius arms.

80 series springs and longer panhard all you ahve done there? And what was different between that last photos and the earlier one which looked like most beam axle conversions do.

The Front Radius arms are Pajero rear with super pro bushes,
NJV6 The difference was the panhard rod was to short and made the front to tight to move nice, i have moved it from the diff head to almost at the knuckle, amazing the difference. rear needs some attention as its basicly stock with longer springs and shocks.
