Jalopy 6 -- Rusty's 4.5 lift , snorkel, trans skid, move winch mount and winch from Jalopy 4, rack in back for spare to go on. Fueltank guard now fitted just need toalter tow bar.

Jalopy 4 -- remove winch and mount, a few other bits then let Gregmo have a minor play with some mods :?: :idea:

CrunchTyme · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2007, 03:17:28 AM »

1st and foremost is search and destroy the annoying squeek that I cant locate .

Then Alumi-flex tie-rod and Beefy drag link are right around the corner. and a rear bumper/tire carrier combo.

Well in the pipeline is:

Johnny joint suspension arm mounts. Should have done this a while ago but not got to it due to general maintenance But is in progress thanks to Warthog. (Front Lower arms done)
Fix alternator squeak
Fix noise from clutch (think thats what it is anyway)
replace stater as its become tempramental.
Rear winch bumper, with winch.
Full external rollcage (Christmas Project)
Top mounts on roll cage for waffles.
Cut out rear cargo area floor pan and raise full tank into it by 10 inches.
Custom internal roll bar brace behind front seats also functioning as harness mounts.
Custom rear swing away so tyre can be outside vehicle to give extra space inside for stuff when traveling, and inside rear for better balance while offroading. Also on the swing away will be mounts for high lift, jerry cans and shovel etc.
change rear drum brake to discs with callipers with built in handbrake. If keeping with D44 and D30, read further down.
Modded removable nato hitch so can pull sanky trailer.

Then am going to look at going long arm stretch suspension. Completely custom. Lengthen wheelbase.
With either replace both axles for Mog axles and 38.5 boggers or upgrade present axles with ox lockers front and rear plus a 5.25 regear and 37 boggers.

Then more custom fabbing everywhere!!!

So lots to do!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

adjustable track bar (without disconnecting)

A bit of a more substantial front bumper

If your coming this way, I have a spare room and I can put together a mod list like Asylums, so you will feel at home.............

Mike Pavelin · « **Reply #23 on:** November 04, 2007, 09:28:54 AM »

SYE and a nice Safari rack. Might tidy the bodywork up a bit as getting a bit crappy now.
