my little brothers on the bonnets

hehehehe

gunracer1 · 02-28-2002, 04:02 PM

i think its to tall and going to flop over, atleast where i wheel it would. lower it and cut some fenders and it will work better.

BJ On Roids · 02-28-2002, 04:39 PM

last one:

thanks to my mate chadd for hosting all the pics!
when i get some poser flex shots, ill have to develop, scan email and get him to put thm up again

MISSION, so it could be a few weeks away

hmmm, wait till you see the other pics of it, im taking some body lift out aswell

FIXXXXAH · 02-28-2002, 06:50 PM

Im with gunracer... taller tires or less lift, wider tires and less backspacing, and trim the rear wheel wells to match the tire postion. other than that, lookin good

wngrog · 02-28-2002, 06:51 PM

Super sweet rig!!!

Hell, you can run 44" tires with that much lift!!!

It is

cool!

BJ On Roids · 02-28-2002, 07:03 PM

thanks guys, the springs have bedded a bit since the shots and it looks a lot more stable, it has come down 3 inches or more, which is just nice, i am still yet to trim the wheel arch hopefully i get around to it before i damage the body/tyres anymore, i also have some blue plastic flares to put on, was considering heep flares, but they are fairly rare...... so plastic it is (an old 44 gallon plastic drum cut down can go any width hair dryer will help mould it and should look trick and be cheap $$ and taking 10mm out of the body lift aswell its all happening, im also getting wheel spacers, and offset rims to add another 7 inches (keep in mind its already 4 inches wider from WMS to WMS)

should be pretty fat with 38x12.5s

thanks guys keep the opinions coming, dont think the cruiser birfs will like 44 boggers, the full floater in the rear can take it but!

nuclearlemon · 02-28-2002, 08:01 PM

cool, but looks tippy and you're going to need to do some trimming on them rear fenders.

Erik D_lux · 02-28-2002, 08:11 PM

Thats a tall drink of water!!!

How did you get so much lift? Is that like spring over with 4"?

BJ On Roids · 02-28-2002, 08:50 PM

2 inch body lift, factory springs, sagged flat, and shackle reversal, the big eye suspension give a fair bit more lift from factory than most of you guys have, you know the big eyed bushes and stuff, adds probly another inch or two, maybe more, if i could the width and strangth 44s would be so cool, despite being overly $$$
and maybe some super birfs....nah 38s for me...sooon

DCruiser138 · 02-28-2002, 09:01 PM

tall! cant go wrong with different rims either. lol... looks cool though. i like the pic of it next to the stock cruiser. very nice touch.

BJ On Roids · 02-28-2002, 09:07 PM

15x10" outlaws on the back
15x8" white wheels on the front, i have the other mags, they even have tyres one them, they just didnt clear the tie-rods at the time, and i was using them cause they fitted, now that i have high steering it all clears again, and i can fit the nice mags!

Whats the deal with that? I always read about the Aussies and high priced Swampers. Did someone over there corner the market, and then jack up the prices?

BJ On Roids · 02-28-2002, 09:39 PM

probly the gov't everything cost more over here, cause they tax anything car related, plus i think only one place imports them, and they also have to come from over there to start with

and then by the time we can import them here, we have to pay tax/freight/customs duty, all that BS

all we wanna do is wheel, not deal with crapola like that

but we got ALL TERRAINS and lovely climate, so i guess, the benefits offset the costs to some extent, still, id ratehr pay less for everything i do!! as we all would im sure!!

rabid · 03-01-2002, 05:22 AM

As for the heep flares, they go pretty cheap on the for sale section here, probably not bad to ship either, since they don't weigh much.

As for the cruiser...DAMN that's big!!!

Lot of nice work in it.

BJ On Roids · 03-01-2002, 12:52 PM

thanks, 7 months ago it was a bare chassis, so its come a long way
