Im thinking about buying this do you think it will make an awsome rock crawler or what? The guy says it goes anywhere and handles like a dream on road.

The guy standing beside it is the current owner and he is like 6'2"

He said he has had all the suspension set up for serious rock work.

He done the IFS swap him self without a welder it just bolts on he said

I'm gonna go with "what"

where's he hiding the trail tires? looks a little tipsy to me.........

-Scott

The front springs he said are set up so well that he didn't need shocks

Borrow your girlfriend's 6 inch high heels. Put them on, then run up and down a flight of steps. Then run from one end of your driveway to the other in a sharp zig zag pattern. Let me know if you fall down but don't tell me, write the answer down and think about it.

He said he bought the cross over steering from the U.S and its one of the best buys on the market.

Lookin like more Bootie Fab to me:eek: :eek:

The front springs he said are set up so well that he didn't need shocks
And you believe this BS?

Matt i dont get what you mean would wearing my girlfriends high heals make a difference to the ones im wearing at the moment?

They MUST be bright red for maximum traction. Don't you have a kangaroo to chase or something? :flipoff2:

Looks like someone screwed up and put the steering wheel on the wrong side to me:D ... little to top heavy for a rock crawler... but maybe a good mud truck:eek:

do you think it will make an awsome rock crawler

No!!

Way too tall, too narrow, WAy too shiny....shows absouloutely no sighns of ever having been wheeled in the rocks. No, you don't have to wheel a pig barn like me for it to be a good rock crawler...but any "awesome rock crawler" would have to have been tested and therefore bashed...and nobody does as much bodywork as would be required to take this from rock crawler to this state just to sell it. It doesn't smell right at all.

Let's count the lies and ridiculous statements:

The guy says it goes anywhere

Suuuuure it does...they all say that. I'd be more impressed if he was honest about its capabilities.

and handles like a dream on road.

No fawkin way it does...that's a lie

He said he has had all the suspension set up for serious rock work

Ummmmm, no I don't think so

He done the IFS swap him self without a welder it just bolts on he said

That's ridiculous

The front springs he said are set up so well that he didn't need shocks

Ok, if you hadn;t got your mind made up by now.....sure, some trail only rigs don;t run shocks....but if you think for a second that thing "handles like a dream" on the road with no front shocks you're in serious trouble!

Have you driven it?????????

He said he bought the cross over steering from the U.S and its one of the best buys on the market.

Why the hell would a guy genious enough to design and install a no-weld IFS conversion need to buy a dirt simple cross over steering system all the way from the US huh??

Sweet Jesus - if the alarm bells aren't ringing by now - you may as well buy it and learn the hard way!!

No i dont want a mud truck come on guys be serious here the guy said it works great and i think he was genuine about it he showed me where he had dinted a sill while climbing over some huge rocks.

That must have been one helluv a conversation you had:flipoff2:

He said he bought the cross over steering from the U.S and its one of the best buys on the market. I don't think they sell right side steering box cross over setups in the US everything over here is left side... looks homemade much like mine:rolleyes:

Looks like he could give it a good push and tip it right here :eek:

Is the front cross member bolt on too?:eek:

No i dont want a mud truck come on guys be serious here the guy said it works great and i think he was genuine about it he showed me where he had dinted a sill while climbing over some huge rocks.

Are you an idiot????

I'm desperately trying to save you some grief...noe I don;t know why?

Do you even have any idea what "serious rock work" and "awesome rock crawler" are???

Here's a hint....look at the fawkin rear lower shock mount??

Awwww, never mind....just go part with your money, fool!

I'll take it this a joke, nice setup in the rear:

I think RUFF is having a go at us, there's NO WAY he could be serious about those statements;)

Look familiar to this from the Bootie Fab thread:

man i hope this is a joke intended to make fun of newbies

someone spent a lot of time making that truck:eek: its a shame actully:shaking:

Good one RUFF, I can't believe how many suckers fell for it:laughing: Definately Booty fab.

Dont you mean :rainbow: fab?

that looks like monkey shit to me. I wouldnt drive it.

hahaha...come on guys....I could smell the sarcasm for a mile away. What a hack job.

So when do you bring it home? Maybe you can enter Top truck next year. I will vote for you. Let me know when you get it.

Man there are some dense ones over here, it was a joke people!! It stunk like Lance after 3 for the price of 1 taco day. :flipoff2:

Go to show no matter how many posts you have you can still be a newbie!!:flipoff2: Can't believe he even thought about this hack!Blazin:D

Hey come on guys us Aussies have fealings too im only trying to find out if you think i should buy this rig the owner realy wants someone thats into wheeling hard to buy it and i think i can wheel this thing through anything.
If i was in the U.S i would enter Top Truck cause all the trucks ive seen in it aint shit compared to this.They are all beat to hell and no body wants to see that junk.

It is the same pic as the bootie fab thread... Thats funny

With RUFF having a 414 post count and having been registered for almost a year, this thread has got to be a joke. ...If not I'm sure RUFF would have been butt-reamed and run away sore long ago.

Wow, the SAS / steering must have been done quite a while ago, I can't imadgine anybody installing a "best buy on the market" Allpro low-steer xover since their hi-steer is just a few bucks more,

lemmie guess... the dent in the sill is just about the same hight as the farthest protruding part of a shopping cart...:flipoff2:

Actually RUFF, if this is for real and the price is right you should buy it. Take it to a rock garden and wheel the piss out of it (I'm sure it can handle it,) and TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES, I wanna see what happens!!!

Yeah dude, I'm gonna get this bitchin' paint job next week (with flames and stuff)...the pathy will flex sooo much better after that. Then I'm going to have a few dents pounded out...I can't wait for the gain in traction from that! woo hoo, i'm stoked as you can tell!

don't get me wrong, i do like good looking rigs, though, I wish you were actually serious...it'd be funnier that way.

Yah may have feelings but, :flipoff2:

As to buying it, NO! Yer wasting yer money...

Uh, maybe ya can find stuff to beat top truck, but no way that truck is gonna make it through it... Why are all the Top trucks beat? They ACTUALLY go wheeling....


Move on, find somethin else:rolleyes:

Sometimes I think of all the things I want to do to my XJ....and I see junk like that and know none of that is on my list. He's gotta be pulling our chain, if not he's got a stick up his ass and cellophane around his head.

When someone makes big statements like "rides like a dream" or "will crawl over anything", you gotta say prove it or shut up. No pics of it flexing at all even in the ditch or whatever? Yeah right. I have a high performance Escort I'd like to sell you, will smoke anything on the street....

What?

It's dangerous. I'd take it if it was a real good deal and I had the time and money to build it up right. Otherwise... Get one of those Aussie vehicles we are always seeing like a Patrol.

Yes! A good stiff wind would blow that thing over.

Joke or not, the only thing that "rig" is good for is a big flower pot in my backyard.

Actually I heard Osama Bin Laden is looking for a nice rig. Someone please sell this thing to him. Do us all a favor and buy it for him so he can go roll his Tali-ban ass into a ditch and die!

:flipoff2:

I think I saw that thing in OFF-ROAD magazine, that thing is sweet, the owner and builder is the finest fabricator that aussie has to offer, he builds all the finest rides they have. That thing will go anywere, dang they even had a action shot of it in OFF-ROAD, it was like way deep in a muddy hole!!! :eek: :flipoff2:

wow.....im totally new to this BB....bob from calrocks told me to post and damn am i happy i did. you guys are cracking me up! did anyone notice how the rear track bar mounts t othe frame???? i like that one!! i wonder if that piece of bent steel is part of the super flexy rock crawler suspesion that works so well!!?? hehe...way too funny!

Wanna see some fabs from the "leading" Brasilian 4x4 suspension shop?!?!? Go here.....

http://www.jr4x4.com.br/modelosdisp.htm

It´s in Portuguese, but the pictures have been translated to English for your convenience...:p


EDIT: I forgot to mention to give special notice to the Samurai. Wicked ground clearance improvement with those pads on the underside of the axle. Still keeping the stabilizer is also a real plus.........

BTW, the pics of all the rigs don´t do justice to the level of crassmanship (sic). It´s even "better" in person........:confused: :rolleyes:

Hey come on guys us Aussies have fealings too

Ha! Bloody hell mate, you had me hook, line, and sinker till you said this!

Now I KNOW it's a joke! Aussies with feelings......good one...ROTFLMAO :D :D

ruff just called me up and said that he picked it up last night and got it for a good price.



NICK

some vehicles just look downright scary...

So what you guys are all trying to tell me is that this thing is a POS and i shouldnt buy it and the guy is full of shit.

Is this right?

So should i maybe buy this one instead cause its Cool too.

Isnt it?

Can I play too?

[POSER
If it looks good from twenty feet, wheel it

Or What:laughing:

thats the same gimp standing in front of that, as is standing in front of the other one?

is he the proprieter of bootiefab.com?

whats his number....i want him to build me an extreme rock truck, for all the gravel in my driveway :D

I don’t think you get the road worthy for it and even if you did with the big lift and bright colour springs ect the local police will pull over the pits and make you put it back to standard.
Also I can’t see any need for all the lift and only 33-inch tyres.

eric gold coast qld

Im sorry, but if this guy said that the rig has been hittin the rocks, id like to see the trail for myself. Perhaps take a dodge neon over it. :D The fella had a good idea, but his worth as a fabricator is nill. For one, if the front springs are stiff enough not to bounce, then thoes coils in the rear will be far too soft to allo/force the front to do anything. The front fabrication will hold up to minor trail runs, perhaps mud. The fact that its ALL bolt on worries me. Bolts are over rated. Welds last and last. The rear suspension is nuts. I dont know what the hell he was thinking when he bolted it all together. First, the upper armature linkages are very weak. The stresses of crawling will snap them like twigs.

If you want the truck just for the looks, then go ahead and get it if the price is decent. But it will require you to completely reconstruct the entire trucks suspension, and possably renforce the frame if you plan to take anything more than a bumpy dirt trail..

Well i think im just gunna buy it cause this guy built it himself and i dont beleive he is bullshiting me cause he looks real smart and stuff. He said he has looked at what guys in the U.S. are driving and it aint nothing compared to what he has put this thing through. I asked him if it needed lockers and he said it flexes that much that he didnt need lockers and that they are not as good as everyone reckons anyway.

So im going back this weekend to offer him $19 500-00 for it and if he will take it then its mine. He is asking $21 000-00 for it at the moment and says that a lot of guys want it but he is keeping it till i decide what i am doing cause he thought i would wheel it where its built to wheel and the other guys are just looking for a posser rig.

Were in QLD are ya .

See i even have slippers on the sides now so it proves i do realy get it now :flipoff2:

But i had to fit shocks to the front cause it kept falling over but the guy i bought it off reckoned it didnt need it :(


Anyone know where i can get some shiny chrome wheels from?

Check this one out!

It has so much grunt these guys had to hold the front wheels down while i drove up thise huge rock.


see MORE GRUNT THAN YA MOTHER :flipoff2:

You need more stickers and paint more stuff red underneath it ;)

Is everyone else as amazed as I am. I wish I lived across the pond so I could have been in a bidding war with RUFF that is the SHIAT.

By the way you found out he was full of shit with the shocks, if you had lockers you wouldn't have needed the beef to hold you down, and soon you will figure out you just got assed out of your hard earned money :D

By the way here is a good American X-over steering does yours look better?

MAN me and ruff went for a 4x4 last weekend and his machine truly has more grunt than ya mutha....or more grunt than his mutha at least :eek: :p ;) :D

highsteer lo-steer whips against the plain old ordinary high steer :flipoff2:

PICS!

Ruff has not only added the slippers up the sides, and front shocks, but he also put on the SCOOP to fit the blower in the engine bay, when he puts the blower on

ive never seen a 22r with so much GRUNT :flipoff2:


itll pick a wheel off the ground under acceleration :eek: or maybe its just the suspension ;)
