| As of the 15th of april 2001 new tyres mm swampers |
| Well now the plans are realy getting interesting .. Having heard all the good things people had to say about the Canyon State Components YJ Wrangler spring shackle reversal ... I think I NEED one ;o) I have also had enough of the tiny little axle bearings and poor little breaks designed to stop a 205/70 profile tyre/rim combo weighing about 7 or 8 kilos not a 33x12 swamper weighing 20 kilos .. so I think I will also be swapping to 4.88 or 5.13 geared full width Toyota hilux diff's a Vitara Auto and Transfer case (with the rockhopper/rockcrawler gears installed) and perhaps some power steering to steer them swampers .. and some nice loooong RS 9000's to help damp some oth the massive wheel travel that will be avaliable ... Well after having played hard in the Zuk .. I broke her gearbox .. again so I went out and spent all my modifiying money on a "Sensible 4wd" .. so these plans have taken a backburner for a while. 14/09/2001 NEXT |
