you obviously havent got the concept of how big this is

Its a Daihatsu chassis, engine and box (lowered and moved backwards to get COG as low as possible), Landcruiser 70 series front axle, Shogun rear axle with locker, mixed suspension but mainly Range Rover

Obviously

I was blinded by the KAK , sorry KA . I hate them with avengance

Sorry don't know why

That's a fine bit of work though by the look of it , nice one

Did you do the work yourself?
Ever thought of a locker for the front too?

J66P · 21-10-2013, 23:58

My Mate actually built it about 6 or 7 years ago

No need for a front locker, the thing is very very well balanced and not too heavy, it does make some of the high end trucks look silly with where it goes. Been to KORC a few times and gone places the challenge guys are winching and this thing has just driven up

Sounds better all the time, I like , well it's performance anyway

Love to see it action sometime

managed to tweek front torsion basr up a bit to elevate a bit of the sag, nice a level now

Also changed the air filter housing and got rid of the K & N induction kit (not my cup of tea)

also fitted LED lights into the side and interior lights

then nipped and got air con regasses

Will make someone a nice motor in a couple of months when i am done with it
