Is die swingarm vir die spaarwiel op die standaard bumper gebou? Ja, ek het dit op die standaard bumper gedoen. Om dit stewig te maak bestaan die bracket uit 'n pyp wat knap in die standaard bumper se pyp pas, dit gly dan so ongeveer 600mm in die bestaande bumper se pyp in. Dit het ook 'n onderste ...

Ek het self lus om myne op 'n dieet te sit Die dieet het nogal 'n groot verskil gemaak. Daai staal canopy van my het seker naby die 400kg geweeg. Die verskil in performance sonder die canopy en die ander groceries is baie beter. :thumbup: Ek het nognie getoets nie, maar ek glo die brandstof verbrui...

Removed decals for a "clean look"
Fitted roll bar and tonneau cover.
Fitted Cragar steel rims.

I see we are 2 members short to reach the 2,000 mark.

Ja well........
Fortunately the control arms are only pieces of cast iron, nothing too technical...
And we used a grinder to remove the LR logo and part number ........

Used Hilux axle for the SAS conversion. Only Cruiser bits are the coils and ventilated discs.

And Landrover control arms!!!!

Niel, Ek is nie op hoogte van die blomme voorspelling vir Namakwaland nie, maar die mense wat weet se dat dit die jaar 'n blomme paradys gaan wees in die Tankwa. Ons het BAIE goeie winter reen sover en die veld is reeds vol vroeë opslag. Jy kan gerus volgende maand so maak :thumbup: Ek het die fotos...

swifty

Niel, miskien moet ons maar die GTG's change na 'n mid-week affêre, want lyk my almal is Vrydae oppad iewers heen.

Ek gaan die Vrydag weer Tankwa Karoo toe, so ek sal dit nie maak nie

Hoekom so stil?

Some pictures of the Eliphant's Foot. This rare plant is said to get up to a 1,000 years old. In some pics I included my camera holder so that one can get an idea of the size of the trunks of these plants. I took the pics in the Tankwa Karoo.

Hi Hennie,

I think it is just luck, I spent a whole week in the area and I took a lot of pictures, so I could choose the "better" ones for the post!

I used a Sony Cyber-shot 5.0 mp with a 3x optical zoom. But thanks for the compliment

Martin

I googled a few car topics this morning, and here are some extracts: * Russians soon will own 35% of Opel, and the Kremlin covets the German carmaker's know-how * There is, of course, a certain historic irony to the ex-colony coming to the rescue of the imperial power—India’s fast-growing Tata Group...

First on my list would be the effort required to erect and fold the tent. Most of today’s tents are water proof, wind resistant and durable. It is quite embarasing if you are in a group and everybody is waiting for you while you are struggling to get your RTT packed.... :oops: It should be a one per...

I'm not impressed with controls at the voting station where I voted. I could have voted twice if I wanted to. At the first table my name was crossed of the list BUT my ID wasn't stamped. After I voted I went home and very easily removed the ink on my thumb with Domestos. All I had to do was to go to...

It is a known fact that: more wheel travel actually maintains traction longer . So Bretton, if your statement is correct, Well I would say if you travel 1km in your vehicle... then surely the wheel travel is 1km... obvious... :twisted: why bother with suspension mods, just keep on traveling............

swifty

Ek was baie terleurgesteld met my 2.7 se artikulasie, en het besluit om 'n IronMan suspension in te sit om dit te verbeter. Die IronMan het die rit verbeter (met die torsion bars 'n bietjie opgestel vir beter grondvry hoogte) maar die wiel travel was maar nog eina. Ek het ook ge-eksperimenteer met d...

I followed this thread with interest, and I believe that the end result will be good. As Eric said: You're going to experience the best of both worlds! :thumbup: But I must say that there is a lot more to this conversion than just swopping the 2.4 motor with a 2.7. :shock: The cost is about the same...

R380k is a lot to pay for a Chinese unknown 4x4. BAW also has the B40 4x4 in the pipeline, which seems a better option at $12,000 (R120,000 before duties) :wth: Officially it is still a concept but it will run of the line within months. 4 wheel driven, 2.8 liter petrol 4 cilinder, 115kw and 217nm by...

Evert, Ek het 32" op my 2.2 gefit sonder groot probleme. Die bakkie het 'n Procomp stelsel met ongeveer 75mm lift in gehad. Die wiel het aan die regterkant teen die footwell geskuur, maar 'n paar houe met 'n 4 pond hammer het dit uitgesort. :mrgreen: Ek moes 4e rat meer gebruik teen opdraendes,...

Ek verkies ook Matroosberg in die somer. Omdat Matroosberg bekend is vir sy sneeu, storm al wat 'n Kapenaar is met sy 4x4 soontoe met die eerste groot kouefront en dan word die roete besiger as die N1. Mens kan ook nie altyd die piek bereik nie weens die sneeu en traffic jams. Daar is genoeg challen...

Ek voel nou half skuldig, ek het die storie oor die "bultjie" begin......

Maar ek stem saam met Thys, dit is regtig nie so erg nie. Ek is nie die braafste ou agter 'n 4x4 se stuur nie, en ek is al 3x daar af. As ek Saterdag kon saam sou ek beslis weer daar af.

swifty

Die roete is droog... Niel het vanoggend gebel... so tensy dit tussen vanaand en Saterdag reen gaan daar nie water wees nie... behalwe as jy deur die dam ry...

Of as jy jouself natmaak daar by die groot afdraende af........

Driko, dankie vir die info. Dit lyk na 'n goedkoop manier om lekker artikulasie te kry. Ek het die foto opgespoor van so 'n mod op 'n Jeep.

Laat my dink, dit is dalk net wat Swifty nodig het.....

swifty

Driko,

Ek vind die foto baie interesant:

Ek neem aan dit is die agterste wiel en dat die shackle aan die bokant vas is aan 'n bladveer wat aan die chassis vas is met u-bolts? Het ek dit reg so, of het ek die kat aan die gat beet?
