Big Discos
Tyke:
Love that truck of yours Fingers . . . didn't realise you had a body lift as well . . . . . I'd need a rope ladder to get in the thing, I'm only a short-ass.
Not short as our Miniman though :P
It's the door cutting that concens me and the inner arches at the rear. Really need a good look at one thats been done to help me decide whether to go ahead.
Got access to workshop and tackle so that's not a concern, just the time and cost of doing it as the motor is my only ride and I need it on the road as much as possible.
Nice to see a few other 'big' motors on here . . . . fuels the enthusiasm to get on with it.
Like Budgie's truck lots as well, looks very practical and usable, which is really what I'm after.

the one below is a range rover chassis with a S1 body shell, sporting a 5.7 small block chevy engine, with 44" Mud Plugger tyres, the axles are from a Unimog.

And he always used to say, over 35mph on the road and you'll end up in the hedge :lol:

Do your tyres catch much? I was hoping to get away with 35's without a body lift to keep the CofG down. Mine's got a 2" sus' lift but it sits a bit higher than normal as it's a lot lighter than standard, and it has had major wheelarch mods. Cheers, G.
Budgie:
With my 33" tyres, I've put +2" extended bumpstops all round to stop the tyres hitting the inner arches. It touches the mudshields on the rear arches a wee bit but that's it. :wink:

Cheers Budgie, i've got +2" etx' stops on mine. i think i'll give the 35's a go and see what mods i have to do to make them fit. Out of interest, what rims are you running on, I have a set of 16" modulars (7" I think) and a set of wolf rims (6.5"). I'm not a great lover of wheel spacers so was concidering reversing the wolf rims to get a decent off set/turning circle.
