: BOOTIE FAB link rear end update with pics of BOOTIE him self wheelstanding the mower RUFF 10-13-2002, 04:38 AM Well you thought we were all RUFF down under well thats only me :flipoff2: Here are some more pics of our A frame coil rear end. The panhard rod will be cut off after it is finished it is still there to help suport the rig while the other set up is completed. RUFF 10-13-2002, 04:40 AM Trailer hitch pivot. RUFF 10-13-2002, 04:42 AM . RUFF 10-13-2002, 04:46 AM Last one for this instalment we should be testing by this time next week RUFF 10-13-2002, 04:48 AM Now for the pics of BOOTIE him self mowing the lawn. First the run up :D RUFF 10-13-2002, 04:51 AM Now his wheelstand :D Doesn't he look cool in his :rainbow: hat :flipoff2: yager 10-13-2002, 07:43 AM BAHHAHAH ROFLMFAO Good one ! oh ya suspension coming along... When i first saw the post the other day with the "rigid mounting" i thought it was a big "look at this" joke... Glad to see it will actually do somthing... -yag Strange Rover 10-13-2002, 01:29 PM DAMN - I gotta get a new hat. Sam BJ On Roids 10-13-2002, 02:40 PM :flipoff2: the hat is good... dont speak foul of the hat :flipoff2: NE-RokToy 10-13-2002, 03:26 PM whats the deal with the bushing on the top link? Looks interesting have any more pictures (possibly disassembled?) Pathmaker 10-13-2002, 07:38 PM That Patrol looks pretty cool, but with that guy around who knows what's underneath it. Peabody 10-13-2002, 07:51 PM Looks cool, although the solid mounts were pretty sweet too. Saves on springs and shocks. :rolleyes: Are you planning on reinforcing your mount on top of the diff? Nice wheelstand but my John Deere can wheelie a good 15 - 20 meters in 5th gear! :flipoff2: Strange Rover 10-13-2002, 09:42 PM Originally posted by Pathmaker That Patrol looks pretty cool, but with that guy around who knows what's underneath it. No Patrol here. Its a series 2a landrover if thats what your looking at. Sam RUFF 10-14-2002, 02:31 AM Originally posted by NE-RokToy whats the deal with the bushing on the top link? Looks interesting have any more pictures (possibly disassembled?) The top link is actually a localy made offroad trailer coupling. That has full movement in all directions. It is fully strong and we doubt it will cause any dramas. Here are some more pics of one off the vehicle. First one is as it would be when conected to a Tow Bar. RUFF 10-14-2002, 02:32 AM We dont use the section that bolts to the Tow Bar Tongue. RUFF 10-14-2002, 02:33 AM . RUFF 10-14-2002, 02:35 AM Last one.

Nice wheelstand but my John Deere can wheelie a good 15 - 20 meters in 5th gear! :flipoff2: Yes we will reinforce the top mount it is only tack welded in so far. I dont beleive you can even get the wheels up on your John Deere i think we need proof pics :flipoff2: redrangie 10-14-2002, 07:08 AM Originally posted by Strange Rover No Patrol here.

Sam I am shocked at your "civil" reply. j 4Bangler 10-14-2002, 07:10 AM I don't see any mounting for the single coil spring, please don't tell me those plans have been abandoned. Visions of a truck with the same ride charicteristics as those little coil spring horses in the kiddie park come to mind.....boing.....boing......boing Pathmaker 10-14-2002, 10:40 AM Originally posted by Strange Rover No Patrol here. Its a series 2a landrover if thats what your looking at. Sam wow, no kidding. I thought it was just a customized Patrol pickup. Kinda hard to tell with the fenders cut up that high. and where do you find all these "wonderful" ideas, RUFF? BJ On Roids 10-14-2002, 03:59 PM that blue weapon belongs to strange....not ruff :rolleyes: wanderingwillys 10-19-2002, 06:41 PM Who makes it and what kind of price range are we talkin - I used a similar idea (lacking the extra plane of misalignment) on the upper link of my front end with standard trailer spindle and rod end... http://home.off-road.com/~wanderingwillys/xjpics/new_upper.jpg Matt Originally posted by RUFF The top link is actually a localy made offroad trailer coupling.

Sam Strange Rover 10-20-2002, 04:40 AM And the trailer coupling. And before anyone goes on about balanced travel or controlled droop of anything we know already :flipoff2: . This things got one spring and no shocks but you gotta start somewhere. Sam JR 10-20-2002, 08:56 AM What are you going to do about balancing the travel and controlling the droop? (he,he,he) Looks cool. Must be a fun project :cool: | |
