I thought you were kidding about the limb risers :laughing:
well he has to keep his grill guard on some how
Going to turn your attention back to the Sunbeams now?
Gone
which one is gone?
So you had 3, now just 2, a red one and the black one?
right. the suspension of that one is going on a series 1
sexy, where are those from?
cool,
Why are these going to hold up better then the old ones?
No more log crossings for you.
does no one make a complete new arm, all i have seen look like hacked up stock pieces.
yes, the ones I bent were complete new arms.
this is the next option if the rovertym arms fail

Rover aftermarket stuff is kind Mickey mouse from the looks of it. U need to make some that are for actual off roading
1800 bucks plus shipping from australia? At that point you might as well 3 or 4 link it.Quote:

don't you have an extra machine at work you could borrow for the weekend?
The torchmate was finally moved to my shop, one step closer to the ultimate rover arm.
I got arms, I need a rear bumper
...
Where are you working that the floor is that clean?
behind subway, near the new suspension proving grounds
Toyota of Dallas has a good stock of arb parts. Phone too low for a flash. Mdf base with factory carpet covering tied to factory points. Lots of tie down points and fridge tray fixed to Mdf base.
...
Ham radio. Going to try running aprs during the rover national rally next week.
Ah good, you bought parts from my buddy Jacque! The Toyota of Dallas parts crew are good people. Your vehicle is looking great man.
so I think its time to do ram assist steering on the disco.
1.5" piston is too damn big. It looks to be the smallest readily available cylinder. I suspect thats why AGR/PSC/Poly all claim its the ideal size.
This is the only 1" bore ram I've found that wasn't more suited for lab work.

Is there a better 1" bore ram out there?
Flem, I'm sure you know this, but a 1" cylinder with a 0.625" rod is going to give you 0.785 square inches in one direction and 0.479 square inches in the other, in other words, one direction will have 39% less force than the other, which I think could suck.
Also 10" is retarded long. Most fool size rigs run an 8" cylinder with some sort of stops, The cylinder I put on the klogger is 6" and will put the axle shafts in a bind. The klogger cylinder is a trailgear 6" X 1.5". If you don't like the trail gear, you can buy the PSC cylinder and paint it black, then stick a trail gear sticker on it, it's the same thing.
I have a 1.75"x6.75" PSC and love it.
I think you would be fine with the 1 1/2 ram but if want smaller you should call PSC I am pretty sure they can make one for you.
This is probably more along the lines of what you need
http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...name=hydraulic
I'm running an 8" with no stops but it bottoms out on my diff cover. Most people I know that run the 8" have to have stops
I based it off steering stabilizer length, I haven't measured how much it actually uses.
Karl, the box has a piston with a rack on it so it has a similar force imbalance when turning left or right. This may bring it back to neutral.
WTF did you just say?Quote:

Same pump that myself and JB run.
Does it keep up with your ram? I don't think the zf or tc pump has a high enough volume/rev. Anyone know if that data is published anywhere?
Seems to, but mine is only a 1.5" ram.
