Some articulation!

Blimey, jest spotted this in the gallery...........Serious articulation fer a leafer!



Looks like the same pairobollix & gas shox I got too. Maybe I had better get some longer brake hoses after all!

about 4 foot long!

them shock tops dunt usually mount there d the?

Dunno, I wuz trying to work that out.

nono they dont thats quite amazing isnt it! stretch brake hoses will be needed on your list!!

is there something different about the leafspring shackles as well.is their something in between.the shackle and the spring?.

Hey, yer right. There's a little foldy up, extendy thing to allow them to drop further!

like this?

maybe its just fooked

i bet its like a feckin pig to drive ont road tho

At first i thought it was busted, is that really a conection rod between the spring and the shakle ?

look s to me like a set a pair a boliks withe a missing link rear shakle set up and he's probably using longer shocks (eg es9000) mounted at an angle to increase the leverage on them to allow them to move easier. a bit like these

The linky thing on the springy bit folds up on itself an you bung a bolt in it to stop it flapping around when you take it on the road. Just read about em in an owld Land Rover Monthly.

reminds me of the jack up kit we used to fit on the yamaha dt to raise the rear suspension.

Yeah, tis. Just had a shufty at the other pics in the gallery. They're from Mud Monkey. Nice to see such a capable II & still on leafers not all hybridated up.......by which I don't mean held together with 'no more nails'!

sorry for hi-jacking thread for a moment!.... saw a snorkel on a 90 the other day...looked just like the one you made marcus!

Ha ha, you can hi jack all the freds ya want, but mention that fkn snork............! Never seen one of those dumb arse goldfish bowls since! Can't believe anyone else would be dumb enuff to fit one without immediately seeing the error of their ways..........then paying for it fer the rest of their born days!

oops
