colthrax Posted June 18, 2025 Author Share Posted June 18, 2025 Axles are mounted, airlocker is installed in the front axle and rear one is converted to air. Just got to make some protection for the rear one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colthrax Posted July 11, 2025 Author Share Posted July 11, 2025 I had welded my old rims to fit the new bolt pattern, but at around 110–120 km/h, the car started to wobble a bit. Today, I went to check out some new rims and a set of 38.5" Super Swampers. When I got there, the guy had a set of 40" Cooper tires already mounted on the rims. He wasn’t planning to sell them—but I managed to convince him. So now I'm rolling on 40s! 😄 My old rims and new ones, got to weld beadlocks on them but as sweden offroad tour is starting tomorrow I do not have time.

I hope it won't be any problem But it's a slow side project, just decided on gears instead of chain in them so it has to be redone. Printed a working model in 1:1 size with a chain and that worked. But finding a chain was hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colthrax Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 And here we go… I should have done this from the start instead of just cutting the rear of the bed. I’m moving the rear axle forward by 17.5 cm to match a shortbed wheelbase. When I cut the bed, it ended up with shortbed dimensions, so now I also need to move the wheel opening forward and fill in the section behind it.
