Popular Post kpr Posted October 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 So then old mate @Dudley with one too many clutch kicks snaps an axle. then winter comes along, so been parked up for many months. fast forward to now'ish. the paddock drying out and the gc begging for some upgrades first up the front shocks. still had the og toyota shocks in the stuts. which means can be pulled apart and modified cut the internal stop off and welded it back on 40mm lower down done some janky mods to the valving in the shocks so has more compression valving. plus ae85 springs = 40mm more travel. 9inch in total got em in there just full droop, should be enough to pass a cert on the ground, pretty much textbook offroad spec 50/50 droop compression 14 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kpr Posted October 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 I wanted to make some getto bypass shocks for the rear. but the shocks i had hanging around wern't long enough. soo getto hydro bumps instead yep thats a hilux front shock with 4age valve springs to return the shock. 50mm travel, take off the factory bumpstop and should have another 30mm or so up travel as well some more butchery required but will go here somewhere 19 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kpr Posted October 31, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2020 Had a little accident before first test run. they were a bit close to the ground . so yeh fail. think they would have done ok, if made it into the paddock and not hit bit of concrete on side of driveway haha enter v2 these were front strut inserts. so bigger shafts. sealed gas shocks, you know the ones that say dont open or heat. i did neither of course. they are twin tube, so the outside bit just holds oil and nitrogen pressure. they have a pretty basic shimstack that bolts to end of shaft. i drilled out the rebound bleed holes and modified the shim to bypass more oil on rebound. done this so they return faster. plus the other butchery can plainly see in pic. the only real pain in the ass was the seal at the top. it just pushes up against the outer housing. so i had to preload the housing when welding them back together. put 90psi compressed air in them. one had slight leak with air in it alone. but seemed to fix itself once put oil in them. So.. they actually act like real hydro bumps. as the shaft goes in it compresses the air more and acts like a spring. along with the compression valving. the dumbed down rebound valving lets them pop out fast but not too fast, so shouldn't push the car back up. should be able to mess with oil level and air pressure to make them harder of softer if dont explode first. they have 50mm travel 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kpr Posted November 22, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2020 suspension was on point tho. till it broke. think a shock blew out aiding to the rollover. this wasn't the biggest jump.. 18 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 @Dudley trying to flex on us with his extended lca with fresh black paint. probably got a ndt crack test done as well Oh an yeah the car isnt that broken, just lca poped tyre, and shock needs more oil, maybe seal stuffed. Hydro bumps worked good. watching the roll in slow mo looks like the steering arm over centered and the wheel jamed, along with lack of oil in shock done the weird bouncy thing and over she goes. extended lca's should make it a bit more stable and get rid of some of that positive camber when suspension droops 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
