[crankycruiser]

Well heres my car.... let's git one thing straight... It HATES me!!!

I bought it cause I wanted to keep my licence... conned my uncle into selling it for 18g.. (that was in 2001)

It stayed std for about 2 months

This was prolly the second stage it went thru..

Had 4-5" springs
Ranchos
Big Exhaust
35 Maxxis mudzillas

The mudzillas were good at doin this:

[Reddo]

[crankycruiser]

Well We have started the flip arm...

Not goin bad so far..

Ripped the diff out on thrus nite.....

First step... cut all the mounts off the diff..

Put the arms back in the car.. upside down with the new plates on it:
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RgADA7gT1pXhLGiCuEF6vuhF8jzfttEHJHHeQ5f8jpPyCq2fT gyc4aM!SPbcPn3rf1p5FTdNYDIZJ5Kvfetre4HcGOw7JHtEpEh ru3z1a2w/DSC00369.JPG?dc=4675526155909068028


Next slide the diff bac under the car.. put the springs back on .. git the weight f the car bac on the diff and put the wheels on so its sitting where it would if i was dirvin ..

Check te castor with a special little level thingy so that i have 4 Deg castor.. tack the plates in that postion..

U know now eh ;D

[Gojeep]

I have not seen that done before but thought about doing it many years ago. I used to run a coil rear instead of leaf springs on a Cherokee using Range Rover arms and thought about it then back in 96. Had you seen others do it and why you went for it too? Always thought one of those arms upside down would make a good anti-tramp bar for soft leaf springs.

I got the idea off the boys on outer limits (thanks Boys ;D)

U can buy the plates to do the flip....

Doin it because in the process u can get the castor correct.. it climbs shite heaps better becasue the arms are a lot flatter..
Will corner stop and steer better on road and u git mre ground clearance ;D

It looks good, this is a great mod on 80s, they work a shite load better offroad. when are you fitting the histeer arm?

Those OL guys know what they are talking about ;D

[sampson]

look awsome ray tuff with that barcing ;)

[Reddo]

Your old man is a weapon with the gas and welder ;) Was interesting to see how it was all going to go together and more so, If it works or does anything significant. Didnt think my welding pic would work, but Meh, looks okay 8)

that looks really cool 8)

would most people do this to gain clearance even if they only have a smallish lift or is it mainly for big lifts?

BTW nice welding ;)

I'm fitting the highsteer arm next week.. just waiting for it to turn up...

Cant wait to git it out and have a wheel in it ;D

[crankycruiser]

Mainly for big lifts I Would say..

It makes the arms sit flatter so they climb sttuff easier and its the perfect opportunity to corecct the castor angle and make it drive heaps better on road too...

The other idea of it was so that i could fit the high steer arm which will help me from destroying the steering boxes

Yeah hes not bad on the tools 8)

[ferremit]

Question... wont the arms foul the top of the diff on full compression? Looks like thats where its going to contact first- arm onto top of diff?

looking very cool cant wait to see it with the body lift and the 38.5 creepys ;D 8) more mud flicking action ;)


Yeah me to Haz.. be the end of the year b4 the tyres come out tho :'(

The arms are bolted to the top of the diff...


as the diff comes up under compression, the arms come down towards the diff- there going to be enough clearance for the arm to cycle without fouling the diff?

You shouldn't need it anymore, you should have somewhere near the proper caster angle so it should RTC without the help of the dampener, the RTC dampeners do affect steering a fair bit, I'd at least try it.

[crankycruiser]

lookin damn good now ray, bit more flex and tuck there now!!


Thanks mate..

Still woulda liked more but u git wat u can git eh ;)

[patrol]

It looks good! in that last picture is the coil bound before the diff hits the bumpstop? because that would limit up travel.
In this picture there is still some light between the coils, this 80 has the same setup as yours, the tyres never left the ground even when he got to the top of that rock, this setup will flex very well.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a31/roadkillengineering/80s1.jpg

[crankycruiser]

Its not coil bound but it would be close...

Doesnt really matter anyway cause if it went up any furthur i wuld be re modeling the inside of my guards... ;D

[danny boy]

hey cranky did tou see the news tonite they are supposidly shutting southport where all you blokes go for mud

[crankycruiser]

hey cranky did tou see the news tonite they are supposidly shutting southport where all you blokes go for mud


Nah didnt see it.. heard bout it....

they have been talkin bout it for ages.. TRVA are tryin to git it shut dwn to clubs only as i is...

have to wait and c i reckon..

[danny boy]

wouldnt it be better to have one place where everybody could do as they like instead ofsending everbody elsewhere. by the way that is one huge stretch your truck can do i wish mine could do something like that

[crankycruiser]

there is that many ppl that go down there.. If they shut it i dunno where they are all gunna go.. prolly go dig up some greenies lawn ::)

Thanks I've spent a fair bit of time on it to make it do that.. ;D

[danny boy]

damn great pics there Ray :o are you happy with the flipover?


Yeah mate.. besides the lockers the tyres and the lift... its the best mod ive done to it ::) ;D

[crankycruiser]

Well it didnt take me long but i have busted the front end already.. and b4 everyone jumps to conclusions it wasnt anything we did that broke.. it was the factory panhard rod mount that broke.. tore it clean off the chassis..
Sorry 4got to get pics b4 we cut it right to pieces..

This is the part that should be on the chassis:

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/mount.sized.jpg

The arrow indicates where the chassis should be attached..
http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/mount1.sized.jpg

This is the hole that it left in the chassis under the mount... obvously we have trimmed it up a bit ;D
http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/chassis.sized.jpg

This is the plate that we cut out of a triton chassis to fit in the hole and strengthen it up..

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/chassi1.sized.jpg

After looking at it after we got it apart u could c that it had been cracked for quiet some time underneith the actual mount...

[-BJ-]

Damn ! Your cruiser just keeps falling apart :o At least the mount wont break anytime soon then eh ?

love ya cruiser cranky! what are those rims on ya truck? i love em i want some.

[Ozjunk38]

Very nice job on that chassis repair. The additional rod across from the other chassis rail should take all the flex out of it and stop it from breaking out again.

Take heart in knowing that your truck is so much better than everyonelse's. They still have to find the weak spots and repair the ones that you have found. At least once it breaks, it has been made stronger so it don't break again ;D

[crankycruiser]

i get it now..... i hadnt read this before..
bloody good plan i reckon..

[crankycruiser]

Well decided to built a trailer to take bush and on my little trip...

This traile4 was rescued from the Brisbane tip.. My uncle found it and fixed it up and towed it bac to Tassie where he used it till the wheels literely fell off it..

I ended up scoring it as he was goin to throw it on the tip again...

I decided if i was goin to use it then i had to be able to hook straight up to my cruiser without needing a drop tow bar...

So i managed to pick up a set of 4wd trailer hubs rated at 2 tonne for the pricely sum of 50bucks...

I bought new springs for it and got a lump of steel (65x65) for the axel.. trust me this is one thing i shouldnt be able to break...

Any way this is wat it now looks like..

this is the tiny ::) axel i have put in it:

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/springs.sized.jpg

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/tuff_trailer_001.sized.jpg

Made it big enuf so i could run my 36's on it.. I will run 35's on it when i take it bush...

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/DSC00427.sized.jpg

Also put a few bash guards on it to protect when im dragging it about ;D

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/crankycruiser/DSC00433.sized.jpg

The bash guards also double as a jerrycan holder:

[The Drunk Guy]

Dosen't Look too bad man.... I like it

[Ozjunk38]

With the wheels and suspension set up like that I bet that you dont need to put a step into the drawbar to keep it level! ;D Should look the goods behind your rig.

If you get to the ACT give me a holler and I'll show you around ;)
