Disco Tray back build

Haha I understand

made another regulator
hope to get the 2nd alternator up n running soon.

got my bushes for my 1 link build and got it all planned out now.
Gona use a 1" bar for the main joint like the radius arm chassis joints.
1" inch bar has a silly sheer strength so it will be fine only thing that might go is the rubber bush, but they only cost 5 quid!
gona use 2 bushes per axle end like normal radius arms but in different positions, 1 behind at the bottom and one above.

Went and ordered most the metal for my 1link and for the new recessed lifted devorced winch bumper build!

TBC

Rang up and added the steel for the wheel adpators to my order. 9 inch discs faced to 10mm. Going to weld and bolt em to the d2 hub's.

Axle build is so close I can almost touch it

Been working on stripping the Disco 2 axles today so I can start work on the brackets for the rear and the 1Link on the front.
Also been working on the front end, removed the winch bumper and the bash guard along with it so I can start work on building my new bumper.
The new one will be higher and further in than the old, plus it will incorporate light protection!

This is how its stands atm.


This is my new bumper and 1 link metal.


A sneek peek at my 1Link!


If you have ever wondered what Disco 2 shafts look like compared to Disco 1's.. here's you chance!

Indeed your correct, just different at the hub end.

Bring them 10's up for me

That's what I was saying, I might have 2 sets to bring

Sweet cheers mate

VERY keen to see what goes down with this D2 axle swap

Well the rear needs a diff flange change as it s 3 bolt.
Brought a ball joint Insert from YRM to weld in the axle for the a frame balljoint.
The shock mounts are really low on the d2 axle, but are non pin type which I want so can be remounted in a better position.
And lastly need the trailing arm brackets making/welding

The front is going 1 link but you would just need to change the radius arm mounts. I've yet to check the panard and steering arm positions.
