And while my coffee percolates.....

There is a geezer who does Cummins into Lard rovers .....he uses the Cummins Daf ZF 5 speed and has an adapter to mate to a Landrovers transfer case....
Do 110 s and the like have centred diffs at the rear.......I think not somehow.

That Daf transfer case is a monster.....looks like PTO hydraulics as well.

thinking is a bad idea

where did you get you klune ?

wildwood · « **Reply #502 on:** January 05, 2018, 11:48:30 AM »

Imported from the US in 2004....
Used to be in the first YJ behind an AX15 and a flipped Dana 300
Now behind a NV3500 and a regular twin sticked Dana300.

I think they are no longer made due to all the different variants of Atlas that do the same job without the weak link of the original Dana300
Works well in the rocks

Greg at High Impact sells the Klune.
Still in business it seems.....

Also a lunchtime Google reveals that the ZF 5 speed found behind the Daf 6 BT Cummins trucks will bolt straight to the Klune......after that Chev 205 or 203 or Dana 300 or whatever......

Just need time and money now

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #504 on:** January 05, 2018, 05:02:07 PM »

the same place as that tcase sell complete cumming ZF combo's

A guy in scotland has a DAF 6 BT Cummings in a cj7 zf box to 300

wildwood · « **Reply #506 on:** January 06, 2018, 12:29:01 AM »

Over here it seems the ZF was for big white delivery Daf trucks and 2 wd.

But was available in US as a .4 wd behind Ford 7.2 diesel 350 etc

The tail housing can be bought for $ 300 but. you have to strip the box and replace the main shaft ...another $300 plus the cost of a rebuild....

The fact that the Scottish gent has a Dana 300 behind throws up some hope so .....Ill keep looking....

You bidding on the big block Jez? Only ask as a mate might do and don't want 2 birtys trying to outbid each other

wildwood · « **Reply #508 on:** January 06, 2018, 11:57:24 AM »

No mate...go for it ....

I'm exploring the Cummins route

Diesel’s for tractors and lorrys

wildwood · « **Reply #510 on:** January 06, 2018, 09:13:04 PM »

Rolling coal and using more fuel than your Prius saves......

Or something along those lines......

Just reckon a Cummins flattie on 1 Tons rolling on 40's might just brighten up the off road scene in Lardy obsessed Blighty.....

Don't forget you will need air suspension to hold up 500kg of engine

wildwood · « **Reply #513 on:** January 07, 2018, 10:36:24 AM »

Had a thought about this

I reckon that I'll have to have a front axle way in front .....like the pic I posted. To allow for a deep engine and sump.....and air bags......

Trouble is the more I research the more of a major build it becomes......until you just start researching 4 X 2 or 6x2 rectangular steel and start with your own çhassis design.......

Probably the best way .....at least I could keep what I have, running, until there is a completed çhassis and engine waiting for axles

bgbazz · « **Reply #514 on:** January 07, 2018, 10:44:04 AM »

Maybe a chassis from a Nissan Patrol GR/GU would be a good place to start. (LWB).

Just a thought.

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #515 on:** January 07, 2018, 11:46:50 AM »

You could do a Mid engine 101 style

Evening Dastards been 11 months so here's a pic to see if the system is still working

wildwood · « **Reply #517 on:** December 09, 2018, 06:54:05 PM »

Oooh that worked.....system doesn't like all the pics at once then....

So..... I've been working on the cage so it can have a screen and it's easy to get in and out compared to how it was....
All tacked up and ready to lift out for finish welding and paint....

wildwood · « **Reply #518 on:** December 09, 2018, 07:23:50 PM »

Also adapted the screen hinges so removal of screen can be done in a few mins.....you can spot the dents and the cracked screen.....I'm not easy on these puppies off road. So better 'off' in my case ....being as the 1 Tonne is high and flexy the screen does hit things so I've made it part of the rig for the Woosies if I ever get to sell the old girl.

I'm well pleased that the cage...... follows the line of the Bulkhead and screen.......obvious really but a major ball ache to get right in the real world.......

wildwood · « **Reply #519 on:** December 09, 2018, 07:33:49 PM »

And one for the 'welding nazis' the joins were done with solid rod to sleeve the cuts .....
Basically 1/2 inch of weld supports 1 ton so allowing for a 5" circumference and two massive plus/ rosette welds that equals about 12 ton per join......

Amazing what you learn when you do City and Gulids welding qualification......shame my welds still look like shit.......

donk498 · « **Reply #520 on:** December 10, 2018, 06:44:12 PM »

Sooooo are you sure you don't want to take it racing

donk498 · « **Reply #521 on:** December 10, 2018, 06:45:16 PM »

Coming to cheapfest mext year then 15th anniversary.

wildwood · « **Reply #522 on:** December 11, 2018, 12:06:13 AM »

Red mist might descend if allowed to do more mph off road.....happy days...

Yes I will be at Cheapfest.......just got to thieve a trailer off the Dids

Only joking.....

Like the ZZR aint enough

I had the "pleasure" of taking my mates ZZR for an MOT for him a fortnight back, cold grey damp day on new tyres

, rode it like miss daisy on the way there, a little more relaxed on the way back, couldn't have been in the summer could it

Looks like much thought has continued to flow through the truck mate, always evolving

wildwood · « **Reply #524 on:** December 11, 2018, 03:42:40 PM »

Borrow it on a summer day.....they're epic.....and Like 'Spinal Tap' they go to 11 (11,000 rpm)

Have to confess that the Tuono has moved on to be replaced by an RSV4 RF........oooh yes...
201 bhp and 70 kg lighter than the ZZR

Now at least I can see where I'm going behind the fairing down the Bentley back straight at Snetterton....

And if it wasn't for anti wheelie and traction control, I don't think it would be rideable by this mere mortal.....

Happy. days...
