Lifted "stock" cars have some kind of Mad Max feel to them, I like it alot. I really like the ExpoRally look. JRally's Celica is one of the cooles builds on this site, no offence to all of the other great builders ;)
That would really be something, Jay.
Although I have no experience with 4x4's or any custom cars really, I still dream of embarking a around the world trip in a expedition style vehicle.
My latest craving is a Volvo c304 (tgb13) with a twist.
Stock drivetrain with Toyota or Nissan 6 cyl. tdi...
If I were to acquire a VAN for camper conversion, I would look into the one with best ground clearance and possibly awd.
A sprinter with awd and some nice at's would be kickass!
If you would like to go the SBAT way, I've heard that it is possible to swap enginge/transmission from a regular road-going Scania truck. I am no mechanic so I have no idea how to achieve this, but the info should be available on the terrangbil forums.
SBAT v8 anyone? :)
I would not get one if you don't need the size and space. The 4x4 version weighs more or less 3 times as much as the 6x6 Tgb. The footprint left by this vehicle are of the kind you don't talk about, to anyone. Drive it on a wet soft road, and there shall be no more road, but two cuts the size of...
One thing you could do is to water proof the actual components in the radios. Clear lacquer and that neat elecric grease stuff. Might be worth a shot at least. Nice build btw, keep 'em pics comin'.
The truck looks awesome Frederik! Good job. But I wish I hadn't asked for teaser pics, my needs of seeing more of this truck exceeds my previous curiosity.
I recall that OP stated that he was working on a purpose built expedition truck. I believe the time has come to give us some information and teaser pics! :D
That Land Rover sure is the creme de la creme of Rovers. Nicely done!
I have a question: How does the front of the rollcage attach to the truck? Is it just bolted to the fenders, or are there any reinforcements underneath?
Gidday!
I've been reading here for quite a while now and I have so far learned very much, thank you expo members.
I do not currently own a 4x4 truck/suv but are planning to purchase one in a not so far future.
On to my actual question:
Can you weld your front diff, instead of getting a...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Very sweat build mate.
Glad to see it in a dedicated thread too, so I can comment without going Off Topic ;)
As for safety/reliability i can't see how it could go wrong. At least if you are a good mechanic/let good mechanics do the swap.
Can't tell you about the legal issues though.
In the Congo they suffered the first major truck breakdown on the entire trip. Would it have been worth the hazzle of bringing a bunch of spares all around the globe when they never really needed it? I think not. They had no reason to believe that the truck would fail, and when they did they...
