HighLUX Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Bang a turbo and manifold off a 2.4 smurf on it would make it go much better especially with an intercooler and boost tap. I used to run this in slow old toyotas and it made them go alot better after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'd be supporting a td42 +t, but this would be a mission I know from experience that this requires much firewall cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Badd Asss. I hope you're sun bathing with everything covered but your neck, because it needs to be red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Started having a play. This thing is a mixture of rough as guts and well done. Weird. Rear shock mounts and exhaust etc are all good. Note the bent spare wheel holder, may cut this out and repair or just weld in some box section instead. Weird they didn't bother fitting breathers. Have stuff ready to make some for it next. Fuck buying longer front shocks though. That's for chumps! Also note relocated brake line mounts. Shortened steering and torque rods. Note broken main leaf on LHS Bolts are for losers... Anyway, I own it now so onwards we go. Will order new ranchos for the front end this week. New rear leaf pack turned up to replace the broken pack on the front LHS. Will look to rebuild front end this fortnight. Just new axle seals, brake pads, oil, breathers, grease as well as welding up some sort of armour on the pumpkin. Will then look at new tie rod ends to make an adjustable steering rod, try making an adjustable torque rod, some wedges to fix diff angle and a new steering damper. Piece by piece.

danger Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Keep the bending to a minimum thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 None of you care however I made a new crossmember to mount my front leaf shackles on. Will raise the truck another 2 inch and help straighten the diff pinion angle. Haven't made the shackle mount for the other side yet. Overkill or nah?

johnnyfive Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Are you gonna cut the front leaf points off and sandwich this between the new & chassis? Looks quality as far as my untrained eye can tell. Paint it pink also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yes, should help pinion angle and make the leaves sit better as well as a little raise. Also needed some tow points so yeah. Keen for british racing green with black trim tbh. Paint is hardly a priority though. This is gonna sit outside and get mechanically sorted before I worry about the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Next up will be making the new spring perch for LF leaf to diff. I didn't know that L and R front leaves are different height, the rears have been put in without a spacer which is why the spring perch fucked out. Might make some vee blocks up to measure and position it. Then box off the rear of the chassis at the rear shackle mounts, make new gearbox crossmember, maybe look into crossover steering then get some money and buy a tube bender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I reckon it's looking awesome. +1 on the pink, though - preferably fluoro, but that's cos I'm an 80's kinda guy. watching your development on this one with a keen interest. gotta live vicariously as have no welder or garage!
