more pics contintued
a pic of a twisted axle...pretty impressive amount of twist for these dinky things, and a pic of the mighty land rover 4 spline pinion. I had never seen a four-spline pinion. I guess it takes the guess work out of synchronizing the yokes...50/50 chance.a pic of an old locking hub sticker on the winshield. a pic of the frame...now that is what you call a boxed frame. the frame rails are about 3 1/2 inches wide and 8 inches tall in the tranny area.

and it looks light too
the body structure is super light. it ALL aluminum except or the cappings and inner door frames. The bulkhead (firewall) is steel also.
The frame on the othe hand is a big heavy SOB.
a door w/ glass probably weighs 20 lbs. my metal full doors w/ glass probably weigh less than jeep half doors.
I also discovered that someone has done some repairs on the RH rear qtr. All the rivets in that qtr are pop-rivets which aren't LR spec. LR uses button heads on all their stuff. I guess I'll by one of those Harbor Freight riveters and see how it works.
how about leafs in the rear and a coil three link in the front?
...and eight link is stronger.
Coilovers or coils and shocks seperate? I would think that there isn't much real estate for anything but a coilover. I think of the ORD blazer as a good three link front to follow. Leaves for the rear would make sense as long as the spring rate and rear-sprung weight is well matched.
I like this truck. It makes me want to build a diesel Landy.
you and Grayson should collaborate, you are probably the only two in this club that think a 6.2 in there is a good idea!

Thunderbird will do just fine.
THis is becoming chadnutz-esque - 4 pages and we just got the body off the frame
"Oh yeah well maybe if you a-holes stop posting stupid ****, jeez, do you know what kinda deal i got on this thing?"
I think the coilovers would be cool. Kinda like that late model rover someone posted a pic of a while back that had the coilovers and hoops sticking through the hood.
BDR
$$$$= high dollar
$= cheap
coil overs= $$$$
used OME rear RR springs = -$
there's plenty of room. I would have to outboard the leafs anyway.
I say he should do it just to spite people.you and Grayson should collaborate, you are probably the only two in this club that think a 6.2 in there is a good idea!
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
spite or smite them with excessive amounts of smoke and noise. While making poop for power?

Uh oh....looks like we've got a closet 6.2 lover!
