This is one ive always missed so the old girl will probably get a beating this weekend

Holy mud slide we call it. Looks tame but somehow destroys the underside of your truck.. It likes my brake lines

Glad im doing tubualr manifolds and lifting my exhaust tomorrow then

 

[pressbrake]

I was 95% ready to order some en24 stock for machining into stubs but need to finnish other things I've started and not completed before I takeon another project

What was you going to do about half shafts

 

[jai_landrover]

Half shafts 30 spline readily available to any length 300m circa £110 ea from the states. Detroit locker 30 spline centres again cheap and readily available. The worst part was finding a drive flange to modify/make fit the hub, I was give a name of a dodge truck used on alot of the UK US run air bases as a starting point they had huge flanges I could spin down and re drill.

My bro reminded me about the 2 Humvee genuine military h1 portal boxes he has under his bench then he showed me a picture of the Sierra sized diff! It looks puny!!

 

[jai_landrover]

Quite rare for trucks to har flanges most are one piece shafts

Today toys arrived



So inbetween helping my mate with his TD5 I got them test fitted







Now ive gotta get some 2 1/2 tube some 45 degree and 90 degree bends to make the rest of the exhaust

someone has been to Real Steel!!

 

[IamRobbie]

damn you!!

Yep really good price and I was well impressed when I found the stub to make the next part of the exhaust already in the box wasn't expecting that

Free catalogue too so now browsing RV8 porn mmmmm 5ltr stroker kit mmmmmmm :5bdrool5:

 

[200tdi ayre]

Also straight through V8 Is ridiculously loud definately need a silencer in there somewhere. Might be able to make use of my side exit hole that I had for my 300tdi if im clever

 

[discomark10]

Jammy git! proper job!

 

[jai_landrover]

Look up their turbo muffler silencer that isn't too stupid and sounds good with a decent v8 up front

Got a old TD5 back box lying around so ill use that. Its small but should provide sufficent damping

 

[jai_landrover]

They're quite small and neat the last silencer not sure how effective they would be tho. Can't remember off my head the Db reading but probably not so much of an issue for your club

Should be fine I can probably squeeze my current silencer in if I had to but TD5 would be neatet and alot easier

But yeah as long as its silenced I don't think ill have a problem

 

[200tdi ayre]

Stuck the standard (ish) exhaust back on for sunday. This is the last trial so can do some big work over the winter to get it challenge ready

 

[discomark10]

I know with the v8 the back box doesn't do much.. its all in the mid box.
