Front axle now complete and back on.

Just out of interest, what have you used to extend your wheel arches?

Looking good Martin :thumbs

You'll love the Lokka

I'm still thinking about getting one for the 4.2 eventually but with the long travel suspension and tight rear LSD it's lower down the list compared with other things (she's down getting the gearbox reconditioned and upgraded as we speak).

How did you find the self fit for the Lokka, straightforward enough?

Looks like thick rubber matting/belt - easy to work with and if you go reasonably thick it won't sag between the fixings :thumb2

Same as mine.

Good work Martin!

Arch extensions are 6mm thick reinforced rubber matting.

Cant wait to try it out. It seems almost too simple in operation. Hope it lasts out.

I cant take credit for all the work, I've a guru helping as I need his expertise when it comes to the suspension setup and final engine checks and other bits I cant do, but it seems relatively straight forward. Just thick about it simplistically and its not a lot too it. I was lucky, it all went together fine in terms of all the tolerances.

 

[Mr K]

Good work Martin!

Cheers Dave

Hopefully this week will be rear axle, transfer box, and suspension! :thumbs

 

[Davey Boy]

I dont know what it is about it, but I like the rough and ready look of those arches!

 

[Mr K]

That's the stuff

I cant remember who exactly I bought the stuff from but that's it.
Choose your width and away you go.

 

[Mr K]

Start of some suspension parts going on.

Some size of shocks, needing suspension towers to fit.

 

[Mr K]

Loads more suspension stuff yet to fit!
