Latest pics of Rockspider jnr

Post by Rockspider »

I guess the pics may not look much different from the previous but the difference is that the Rock-Spider jnr is on the road again, well, kind off, but now with its new Micky Thompson 10J rims.

My old brand new rims are now for sale, please have a look under secondhand corner. These Mickey Thompson rims are really good looking!!! :D

Next project, fix the gearlever problem. Thereafter the suspension will be lifted by about 25 mm using longer greasable shancle hangers and spacers in the front suspension. The tyres are touching the body quite badly in the front but I think it can be solved by removing the mud guards. I will wait until after the suspension lift before I do that though.

Thereafter rocksliders and a rear bumper/towbar and sparewheel carrier.

Last but not least an ally canopy which I have a few ideas to design myself.

PS - I eventually dropped the radiator by 50mm to go back to where it was. I forgot to take photos, sorry!! :crazy:

Yis Leon, jou bakkie lyk erg smart man.

Se my, hoe is daai nuwe BFG's? Raas hulle baie op die pad? Het jy hulle al bietjie off road gevat?

Ek het nog nie regtig gery met hom nie. Net van huis tot by die tyre plek omtrent 1 km weg en terug.

Maar ek het al baie stelle BF Muds gehad in byna elke size to 33". Hulle raas meer as pad bande, obviously, maar ek het dit nog nooit as steurend ervaar nie en offroad is hulle puik! Ek is self baie nuuskierig om te sien hoe die nuwe loopvlak sal klink op die teer en perform offroad. Ek sal seker eers in begin April kan gaan speel. :|
